Yes a new Studio Ghibi movie is out!
I am a self confessed Ghibli fan and have visited the Ghibli museum in Japan! For all you Ghibli virgins out there, it’s basically the japanese version of Disney, except much much better quality. Anyway, i went to see it last night at the showroom cinemas, feeling totally justified in taking time out of sketchbook work as, technically it’s ‘research’
after all it’s all about the ocean!
Here’s a look at a trailer
I loved ponyo and her ’sisters,’ and i can honestly say that i had to fight to stop myself from squealing at the cuteness of the whole thing – though ponyo’s voice got a little irritating toward the end (no surprise there – miley cyrus’ little sister plays the character for the english dubbed ponyo..)
There was a small part in the beginning, which i’d thought i’d mention as it pertains the brief, where ponyo is swept up by a trawler and caught in a glass jar, unable to get out. The sea is refereed to as ‘ruined’ and we can see there is just rubbish all along the sea bed, no plants or coral.
