Emishi, similar to the other native tribes of Northern Japan are oft en seen as non- civilized barbar- ians as opposed to the Yamato race. 1 Th ough Princess Mononoke is set in the Muromachi period (1333– 1573), when the Yamato society had conquered all the Northern tribes, the strong Emishi village of Princess Mononoke recalls Japan’s pre- historic times.

  • 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.

  • The Red Turtle (PG) 2016 1Hr 20Mins Director Michael Dudoc De Wit
    Stockbridge Community Cinema Programme Notes 19 January 2018 The Red Turtle (PG) 2016 1hr 20mins Director Michael Dudoc de Wit Animated adventure and debut feature from co- writer and director Michael Dudok de Wit. Caught in a powerful storm, a man is thrown from his vessel and left shipwrecked on a deserted island. Realising he is alone, he decides to gather supplies and take his chances back out at sea. Using bamboo from the nearby forest, he begins building a raft before setting off into the ocean. However, when a number of his escape attempts are thwarted by a giant red turtle, he admits defeat and is forced to return to the shore. With no choice but to accept his fate, the man is left shocked when a mysterious red haired woman suddenly appears on the beach. After spending time getting to know each other, the pair begin a relationship and decide to start a family together in their peaceful island paradise. The Red Turtle, directed by Michael Dudoc de Wit is the first non-Japanese film made by the Studio Ghibli film studio. Studio Ghibli is possibly the world’s most revered animation house founded by Hayao Miyazaki. The studio is respected the world over for its lush animation, attention to detail, and the way its movies can soak its audiences in a mood without any effort at all – a trait many find lacking in most American cartoons. Ghibli’s stories take viewers of all ages seriously, never let commercial concerns get in the way of imagination, and more often than not incorporate female characters in a way that puts the rest of the film industry to shame, animated or live action.

    OFF THE SHELF North Olympic Library System 2210 South Peabody Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 RELEASE: November 27, 2018 DATE: December 5, 2018 COLUMNIST: Liz Duval, Customer Service Specialist RE: Animated Films for Adults ATTACHED: Liz_Duval.jpg les_triplettes21.jpg Song_of_the_Sea-cover.jpg FantasticMrFoxPhotobyWesAnderson.jpg Animation is not just for kids! Adults who love film, visual arts, or stories that are not traditional Hollywood fare, can find real gems in NOLS’ collection of animated films. These are some suggestions for animated movies with exceptional artistic merit -- in fact nine of them have been nominated for Academy Awards. France is one of the top producers of animation, showcasing unique versions of traditional hand drawn animation, an art form that is nearly extinct because of the time and cost associated. The Triplets of Belleville has a freaky surrealist style that makes it totally unique and the jazz soundtrack will have you tapping your toes. In The Red Turtle, lush landscapes overwhelm the viewer. Stop-motion is another exceptionally time intensive method of animation. Tiny “puppets” or figurines are built, costumed, and given multiple heads or faces for different expressions. Each frame of the film is actually a photograph, and between each frame the puppets are moved. This is the case for Fantastic Mr. Fox, which intentionally doesn’t use any digital smoothing to cover the jerkiness of the movement. Because of that, you can feel the handmade quality of everything on screen, a warm and quirky sensibility that could only be Director Wes Anderson’s (he returned to stop motion with his latest film, Isle of Dogs).

  • Analysing the Historical Discourses Surrounding Hayao Miyazaki's
    Before Ghibli was Ghibli: Analysing the Historical Discourses surrounding Hayao Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky (1986) Rayna Denison, University of East Anglia Abstract: While Studio Ghibli may have become Japan’s most important and successful animation studio, its early significance is far more debatable in relation to the success of its films. Normally viewed from the present moment, Studio Ghibli’s brand significance is unmistakable, having become a producer of world renowned animation, and a distribution label for its own animated hit films and other high profile animation in Japan (Denison 2015). To challenge this perception of Ghibli’s brand significance, this article revisits the early history of Studio Ghibli in order to examine the discourses around the formation of the studio. Using Studio Ghibli’s first official film release, Castle in the Sky (Tenkū no shiro Lapyuta, 1986) as a case study, this article argues for a corrective analysis of the importance of Studio Ghibli to animator Hayao Miyazaki’s first ‘Ghibli’ film. The article demonstrates that throughout this release, there was a tension between art and industry that would become the hallmark of Ghibli’s style, but that the company itself may have had little to do with that brand’s early conception. Keywords: Studio Ghibli, anime history, Castle in the Sky, brand, advertising Before Ghibli was Ghibli: Analysing the Historical Discourses surrounding Hayao Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky (1986) Rayna Denison, University of East Anglia For more than two decades Studio Ghibli has been Japan’s pre-eminent animation studio. As such, Studio Ghibli has emerged as a studio brand that represents a wide variety of products, from feature films to short animated films, to advertising campaigns for corporate partners and clients, to a studio museum and extensive merchandising.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    ONLY YESTERDAY AND THE TRANSNATIONAL POWER OF ANIME by Michelle O’Halloran A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (October, 2017) Copyright ©Michelle O’Halloran, 2017 Abstract Though the medium of animation has existed since at least the 1900s, scholarship in the field of animation has been largely neglected in favour of the academic study of live-action films. This trend in film academia has gravely overlooked the cultural importance of animation, in particular mainstream animated television shows and feature-length films, as a medium that has historically been consumed voraciously by child and family audiences. Anime, or Japanese animation, has drastically increased in popularity in North America, spurring a wave of English-language subtitled and voice-over versions of anime television shows and films, with list of titles that are available to English viewers growing rapidly since the 1990s. Where the works of Walt Disney Studios have traditionally been the most popular and well-known in North America, Studio Ghibli takes that role in Japan as a critically acclaimed animation studio. A fundamental difference between the work of these two studios is the role of gender in the heroines that are depicted. Anime as a Japanese cultural export has become a transnational media form, in which international and particularly North American viewers have found value. This dissertation argues that Disney’s distribution of Studio Ghibli titles in North America has played a major role in anime gaining a place in the Western media landscape, therefore increasing the popularity and demand for anime being available to English-speaking audiences.
