  If you’re skeptical or unsure of watching a Studio Ghibli film, now is your chance to try something new. You won’t regret it.

  Animated films can be just as good as any live-action movie and Studio Ghibli films can be just as good as any American animated movie. These films aren’t just for children. They offer various imaginative storylines that can connect with the viewer. When we find a movie we like, we can obsess over it and try to apply it to our personal lives. The experience itself encourages us to share it with others. So that’s what I’m doing right now. I, personally, love Studio Ghibli movies and strongly believe that some are underappreciated by those outside their current fanbase.

  There is a difference between the animation style of this Japanese animation house compared to animation studios in America. These animated feature films are known by their fans for their beautiful and one-of-a-kind animation.Their films include traditional hand drawn scenes of the different environments within the story. The animators show that attention to detail matters and is a valuable tool in creating their art.

  These films have both the visual and narrative freedom to create any universe they wish to create. Animation allows storytellers to experiment with the fantasies and enchantments of their stories. They are able to create fictional details that make their films evoke various emotions in their audience.
