Studio Ghibli Dream Artists Hardback

£16.99

Released: 24th July 2025. LEGENDARY STUDIO: Studio Ghibli has produced some of the most acclaimed animated works ever made and is responsible for seven of the twenty highest-grossing films to come from Japan. The company's total gross stands at $1.7B and it has picked up multiple Academy Awards along the way. 2023 COMEBACK: Founder Hayao Miyazaki came out of a ten-year retirement to direct 2023's The Boy and the Heron, to incredibly positive critical acclaim and overwhelming commercial success. The film grossed $294 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-earning Ghibli film (behind 2002's Spirited Away) and the fifth-highest-grossing Japanese film overall. It earned the 2024 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, proving that the Ghibli magic is as powerful as ever. 40th ANNIVERSARY: Studio Ghibli was established in 1985, so 2025 will mark the 40th anniversary of this legendary and revolutionary production company. Since 1985, Studio Ghibli has brought big dreams to the big screen now, peek behind the curtain to discover the team of artists responsible for Japan's most iconic animated films. Both a history and a deluxe art anthology, this book is the definitive compendium on Studio Ghibli's visual style, revolutionary storytelling, and fabulous evolution across the last four decades. CLASSIC FILMOGRAPHY: Take an in-depth look at Ghibli classics, from Castle in the Sky (1986) and Princess Mononoke (1997), to Spirited Away (2001) and Ponyo (2008). STUNNING ARTWORK: Take in the gorgeous Ghibli art style like never before with high-quality film stills and posters from the studio's all-star line-up of animators and illustrators. A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER: Exclusive interviews, recounts, and insights from visionaries including Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata provide vital context about the studio and enrich the experience of watching its most iconic films.
