Goro Miyazaki
Also reminds guests that outside food can’t be eaten in Ghibli Park, and also why that’s not really a problem.
Anime studio had something to say about the restaurant filled with its characters and a menu inspired by them.
Studio Ghibli’s veteran producer recalls a major change of heart by the legendary anime director.
Goro Miyazaki gives us a sneak peek at the puppet show that will mark the debut of Ghibli’s first CG anime film.
The last time Studio Ghibli adapted a story from England it switched the setting to Japan, but not this time.
Describes his dessert as “beyond satisfying,” producer Toshio Suzuki and son Goro also stop by.
Goro Miyazaki didn’t seek any input from his dad, the famous Hayao, on how Studio Ghibli’s Earwig and the Witch should be made.
Hayao Miyazaki has read British novel inspiration “cover-to-cover five times,” will once again team up with son as director.
“Ghibli will continue making movies,” veteran producer vows as Miyazaki returns to the genre that made him a legend.
76-year-old anime legend wants the film to be his legacy after he moves on to the next world.
The works of Studio Ghibli are almost universally loved and respected, but there is one interesting criticism detractors lob against Japan’s premier anime production house. Barring the occasional music video or video game art design project, Ghibli’s body of work consists of feature films, all of which have been financial successes (even the widely panned Tales from Earthsea earned more than triple its budget).
Ghibli obviously can’t be blamed for building on its success by putting in the time, money, and, of course, effort to produce movies of such high quality. At the same time, some have wondered how the studio would fare operating under the notoriously tight time and budget constraints of television anime.
Judging from the recently released preview for Ghibli’s first TV series, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, the transition, not to mention the lead character’s movements, might not be so smooth.
