Mary, an ordinary twelve-year-old girl, is bored and lonely during a summer holiday. She follows an odd cat into the nearby woods where she stumbles upon a flower and then a little broomstick. Together, the flower and broomstick whisk her above the clouds, far away to Endor College – a school of magic! At Endor, Mary tells a lie that leads to peril, and then a promise, while discovering that all is not as it seems at the school – there are experiments that horrify. Soon she confronts great danger, and a test of her resolve. • WHO: Fathom Events, GKIDS and Studio Ponoc • WHEN: Thursday, January 18 at 7:00 p.m. (English language dubbed) and 8:00 p.m. local time (English language subtitled) • WHERE: Tickets for the January 18 screenings of “Mary and The Witch’s Flower” can be purchased by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.

Among these, Mononokehime ( Princess Mononoke , 1997) and the period leading up to it from the early 1990s, as I argue in this chapter, had a great impact on the rest of Miyazaki’s career. In the fi rst section of this chapter, I discuss how Miyazaki grew sceptical about the style of his fi lmmaking as a result of cataclysmic changes in the political and social situation both in and outside Japan; in essence, he questioned his production of entertainment fi lms featuring adventures with (pseudo- )European settings, and began to look for something more ‘substantial’. Th e result was a grave and complex story about civilization set in medieval Japan, which was based on aca- demic discourses on Japanese history, culture and identity.

Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many
Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many readers of this special issue of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture will already feel that they know Studio Ghibli. Famously founded in 1985 by animation film directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, along with then-magazine editor, Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has dominated Japan’s box office since the mid-1990s. Furthermore, thanks to an international distribution deal with Buena Vista International, a subsidiary of Disney, Hayao Miyazaki’s films have become well-known transnational phenomena, garnering international film festival awards and even an Oscar. This international recognition sits alongside the work undertaken by a legion of active fans who have likewise promoted Miyazaki and Ghibli’s works outside Japan. However, reflecting on the studio’s closure in 2014 – after nearly 30 years of film, television and other kinds of production – there are still many aspects of Studio Ghibli that remain obscure. Despite recent rumours that Miyazaki may be coming out of retirement one last time (a pattern he has been repeating since the late 1990s), the (perhaps temporary) moth-balling of Studio Ghibli’s feature production efforts in 2014 presents the scholars in this collection with an opportunity to reconsider Studio Ghibli’s local and global significance. This special edition of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture is therefore intended to strategically address some of the gaps in anime scholarship, and in the scholarship around Studio Ghibli. In this introduction we also seek to provide a more holistic understanding of what Studio Ghibli is, whose work it represents and how it has become a success both at home and abroad.

Panel I1 Cartoons and Beyond
Panel I1 Auditorium Cartoons and Beyond Maureen Furniss GKIDS and the Diversification of Animated Features in the US GKIDS was founded in 2008 by the directors of the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Eric Beckman and Emily Shapiro. Within the context of the festival, the directors witnessed impressive animated features made worldwide that lacked adequate distribution, allowing the dominance of American-made features to remain virtually uncontested within the US. The first property it distributed was Michel Ocelot’s Azur & Asmir, but the company’s next acquisition, Tomm Moore’s debut film The Secret of Kells, brought it into the spotlight, after the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In subsequent years, other GKIDS properties have been nominated as well, sometimes beating out well-ranked American features. Stylistically, the films distributed by GKIDS have tended to be a challenge to American work, since the company has focused on 2D animated features that are not in the franchising model of US productions. In 2011, the film acquired theatrical distribution rights for some of the most popular animated features in history, Studio Ghibli features, marking another step in GKIDS’s development; previously, the films had been distributed theatrically by Disney. This paper will summarize GKIDS’s accomplishments and determine how its injection of distinctive work into the American system has impacted US production. My findings will be based on interviews with individuals from GKIDS, as well as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, CARTOON, and other organizations. I will also plan to talk with feature film directors TBA.

In most of these cases, the audience is presented with a celebration of girlhood. From Tonari no Totoro ( My Neighbor Totoro, Hayao Miyazaki, 1988) to Omoide no M ā n ī ( When Marnie Was Th ere, Hiromasa Yonebayashi, 2014), Studio Ghibli has explored the adolescent heroine in stories of fantasy, realism, com- edy and drama. In Mononokehime ( Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki, 1997), the heroine, San, is set against a female antagonist in such a way that both per- sonalities are problematized (for more on San’s unique position within Ghibli’s history see Chapter 5 ). It is through Hayao Miyazaki’s inclusion of Lady Eboshi that the director examines the relationship between the heroine and an adult woman anti- hero. Th is chapter identifi es the parallels between San and Lady Eboshi in terms of their personalities and interactions as well as in comparison with wider cultural contexts, in order to investigate Princess Mononoke ’s explo- ration of femininity extending beyond girlhood.

Mary and the Witch's Flower
MEDIA ALERT – February 8, 2018 “Mary and The Witch’s Flower” Lands as Top Grossing GKIDS Release and Earns Special Two-Day Encore Screenings February 24 and 26 Due to Overwhelming Fan Demand • WHAT: The debut title from Studio Ponoc, “Mary and The Witch’s Flower,” will get a special encore screening following its successful January 18 premiere in cinemas. Grossing more than $1.1m for the special premiere event with Fathom Events led to the film debuting at number 3 at that day’s box office, with the highest per-screen-average- attendance. The total box office gross following the select theatrical release of the film now stands at $1.9m, making the title also the most successful GKIDS theatrical release in the company’s history. This stunning, action-packed fantasy adventure is the second collaboration between Academy Award®-nominated director Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Studio Ghibli’s When Marnie Was There and The Secret World of Arrietty) and two-time Academy Award®- nominated producer Yoshiaki Nishimura (Studio Ghibli’s The Tale of The Princess Kaguya and When Marnie Was There). Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College – a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee.
