Their films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new eagerly anticipated release a guaranteed box office hit. Yet this highly profitable studio has remained fiercely independent, producing a stream of imaginative and individual animations. The studio\u0026amp;#x27;s founders, Hayao Miyazaki and the late Isao Takahata, have created timeless masterpieces. Although their films are distinctly Japanese, their themes are universal: humanity, community and a love for the environment. No other film studio, animation or otherwise, comes close to matching Ghibli for pure cinematic experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStudio Ghibli\u003c\/i\u003e outlines the history of the studio and explores the early output of its founders.
