In 1986, Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli released the anime feature film, Castle in the Sky (Tenkū no Shiro: Laputa). The movie – a fantasy adventure written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki – was set in the late 19th Century and centred around the search for a legendary floating castle.
Upon release, Castle in the Sky was met with critical praise and proved to be a hit at the box office. Two years later it was followed by two additional releases from Studio Ghibli – Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro – and both of these films were also met with critical acclaim.
As the years continued, more anime movies were produced by Studio Ghibli, including Kiki’s Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, and Porco Rosso. With each new release, the studio’s reputation grew in its native country, as well as overseas, and very soon Studio Ghibli became known for delivering quality animation and powerful stories that could appeal to audiences of all ages.
