Studio Ghibili
All Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons were released by Ghibili, whose story began in 1983 with the advent of the anime Nausicaa from the Valley of the Winds. The studio officially appeared in 1985.
The name of the company was due to Miyajaki’s love for aviation and the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Gabili is the name of the plane that was supposed to fly over Africa. It got its name because of the hot wind in the desert.
The studio was created with the goal of producing high-quality anime. The creators were driven by a desire to breathe fresh breath into the world of Japanese animation, and they succeeded.
However, everything is changing. So it happened with Ghibli. In 2013, the main author released a farewell work, “The Wind is Getting Stronger,” and left the company. Today, short films and commercials are being created at the studio.

What kind of works are worth seeing first of all in order to understand the world of the famous animator and get carried away by his work? A selection of the 5 best animes that Hayao Miyazaki created.
List of cartoons with a brief description of the plot:
- "Nausicaa from the Valley of the Winds" - one of the first works of the animator. The main character is the girl Nausicaa, she is the daughter of the ruler of the village, preserved in the ruins of the world after the apocalypse. It has a special gift: it knows how to communicate with nature, therefore, it can save the remnants of humanity.
- “My Neighbor Totoro” is a legendary anime about two sisters who move to the village. There, at their home, they get acquainted with the good-natured forest spirit. He entertains the girls with air tours and helps to meet with their mother lying in the hospital.
- "Princess Mononoke." The plot of a soulful anime is tied to the struggle of the young prince with a curse. The animator created a mysterious country in which people are fighting with forest inhabitants. The prince meets the daughter of the she-wolf Mononoke, and his fate depends on whether he will be able to resolve the conflict between man and nature.
- Spirited Away is an anime that won an Oscar in 2001. In the story, the parents and the girl, moving to a new house by car, got lost. They ended up in a deserted city. After eating there at the feast, parents turned into pigs, and a frightened girl gets into the house of an evil sorceress. The daughter must understand how to save parents from the spell and find a way out of the realm of ghosts.
- "The Walking Castle" tells of a young girl whom the evil witch imprisoned in the body of an old woman. She meets a powerful wizard, whom the demon of fire serves. The girl and the demon want to rid each other of the spell, but it's not so simple.
Special attention is deserved by the last work of the author - "The wind is getting stronger." She is his most realistic picture. The author himself in his interview notes that this tape was not designed for children, because when it was created, he did not imagine them as spectators. And for Miyazaki, this is important, since the author at work should always imagine the faces of those for whom he creates a cartoon. Without this, success is impossible.
