Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese animation studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, was born out of necessity when no production company was willing to take on the costs of their next film. With the business savvy of Suzuki, Studio Ghibli prioritized creating exceptional films without compromising artistic integrity. The partnership with Disney helped Ghibli gain international recognition, although there were challenges in bridging the visions of the two companies. Despite initial struggles to attract audiences in the United States, Ghibli has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with the annual Studio Ghibli Fest and the availability of Ghibli films on streaming platforms like HBO Max. The studio's films, including classics like "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke," have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated global fanbase.
