Studio Ghibli related: I realize the last status was a bit misleading and people asked me about the source of the news. Well here they are along with additional info. Source: catsuka Studio Ghibli is STOPPING PRODUCTION OF ANIMATED FEAUTURE FILMS, according to producer Toshio Suzuki on the Japanese MBS channel. But it’s NOT THE END of Studio Ghibli. According to my informations, they will keep a SMALL STAFF for Hayao Miyazaki projects. And also the “Momonoma” department, which is Yoshiyuki Momose staff for production of commercials, music videos... Momonoma artists are already FREELANCE, and this is the reality: most of Studio Ghibli staff today are employees, with long term contracts. Studio Ghibli CANT PAY THIS STAFF if there’s no more Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata (expensive but profitable) movies on the way. Ghibli cost too much today, so they’re just STOPPING THE CURRENT SYSTEM. Before Porco Rosso, Studio Ghibli staff was freelance. They’re coming back to this previous system. It’s a restart, like Hoshino and Suzuki said. Now they will now FOCUS ON LICENSING AND GHIBLI MUSEUM. And wait for new viable projects. I hope that made things a bit clearer. Also, I will miss it very much and hope they can come back to their former glory. If not, its okay - it was a joyful and unforgettable ride, and I dont regret getting on it. ~Aqua
