Studio Ghibli is an acclaimed Japanese film studio responsible for some of the finest feature-length animations produced, encircling the world with bizarre, fantastic, and whimsical visionary. Their display of wonderful artwork tenderly whisked into light and airy animation has influenced many artists and even filmmakers, notably John Lasseter.

The studio was founded by directors Miyazaki Hayao and Takahato Isao and producer Suzuki Toshio in 1985. Miyazaki's tendency to prioritize originality and artistic vision over commercial success gave the company a well-rounded reputation.

Common themes and styles are shown throughout the Ghibli universes; environmentalism, childhood nostalgia, community, flight, metamorphosis, and mythology based from Japan and Europe. Whilst every film is distinctly unique, these consistent highlights are well-known and recognisable.

There's a particular film that I find fantastic with its scenery and characters. Kiki's Delivery Service, released in 1989, is a fantasy film that follows a young witch named Kiki and her cat Jiji as she starts a flying courier service.

The movie is a delightful tale that focuses on character and texture rather than a plot, offering a fresh, serene experience. Heart-warming, light, and airy-- it's a wonderfully quiet narrative to unwind.
