Studio Ghibli, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, was founded in 1985 and operates with approximately 110 employees. The company specializes in entertainment content rights and operates as a subsidiary of Nippon Television Holdings, also known as Nippon TV. Functioning as a Japanese animation film studio, Studio Ghibli is recognized for its hand-drawn aesthetics and musical scores, with narratives often addressing themes of environmentalism, pacifism, and youth. Its portfolio includes animated feature films such as Spirited Away, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and The Boy and the Heron, which received an Academy Award in 2024.
Tickets are now available for "The Story of Studio Ghibli," an immersive exhibition set to open on December 18, 2026, at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Spanning nearly 3500 square meters, this will be the largest presentation of the exhibition to date, featuring world premiere experiences that allow visitors to step into the universes of films like *Spirited Away* and engage with characters such as Totoro. Earlier in September, Studio Ghibli Chairman Toshio Suzuki confirmed his personal use of AI out of curiosity, stating he had queried it about the studio's future, noting that Director Hayao Miyazaki remains unaware of generative AI's existence. Suzuki has previously expressed disinterest in generative AI images, a sentiment reportedly shared even more strongly by Miyazaki, aligning with his artistic principles. This follows an increased demand for Ghibli-themed Airbnbs across Japan, including Yamanashi and Ehime, driven by post-pandemic pop culture travel and international visitors increasingly opting for unique accommodations over traditional hotel stays in 2026.
