The film, released later this year, is a major departure from the studio's signature hand drawn style.
has. For the past 36 years, the legendary hallmark of animated excellence, both in Japan and around the world, has shifted through technological changes with one hand, always, on that unmistakable hand drawn aesthetic. Even as Disney pivoted to 3D animation for all of their films , Ghibli stuck to their guns.
But that, it seems, might be about to change. The latest film in Studio Ghibli’s roster, directed by Goro Miyazaki, the son of Hayao, and produced by’s Toshio Suzuki, is a departure to CGI style. And it looks like it’s been animated entirely in 3D., and tells the story of a young orphaned girl named Aya whose adopted parents wind up being well-versed in the art of sorcery and spells.
Much of the traditional Ghibli aesthetic remains -- frightening female antagonists, schoolgirl pinafores, intricate interior details, wide-eyed black cats -- but they’re a little more glossy this time around. Some fans have been divided on the new look, but there’s nothing to suggest this will become the new normal.
The film, which was due to bow at Cannes Film Festival last month, will be aired on Japanese television later in 2020. No word on how it will reach the rest of the world, but expect to wait a while: there’s usually a six month gap between a Ghibli release in Japan and its western arrival.
