Studio Ghibli, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, operates as a subsidiary of Nippon Television Holdings. Founded in June 1985 by directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, along with producer Toshio Suzuki, following the success of the 1984 film *Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind*, the studio employs approximately 110 individuals and reported $13.8M in revenue as of 2024. The company functions as an animation film studio, recognized for its hand-drawn aesthetics, musical scores, and narrative themes centered on environmentalism, pacifism, and youth. Its portfolio includes anime 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 the studio's second Academy Award in 2024.
On July 9, 2026, Ghibli Park in Japan's Aichi Prefecture introduced a new dessert, described as a drinkable version of Hayao Miyazaki’s pilot daydream, extending the park's focus on artistic atmosphere over typical amusement park attractions. Earlier on July 8, a "My Neighbor Totoro" prototype on LEGO Ideas achieved a 10,000-supporter milestone, advancing it for consideration as an official LEGO set. This followed Ghibli Park's debut of two new attractions on July 8, including an exclusive original anime and Hayao Miyazaki’s first art exhibition created specifically for the theme park. Previously, on July 3, Gkids expanded its partnership with the studio, acquiring theatrical distribution rights for its library in the U.K. and Ireland, with "Kiki’s Delivery Service" heading to IMAX.
