A deep dive into the Studio Ghibli films that don't have the name recognition of 'Spirited Away' or 'Princess Mononoke.'
While Studio Ghibli is far from a hidden gem, not all the famed Japanese studio's films have found the same fame as titles such as Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. Still, a lack of attention doesn’t mean that the studio's lesser-known films aren’t as stunning as their more famous siblings. The following is a guide to some of Studio Ghibli's minor films, focusing on the aspects of each movie that make it worth the watch, from the story to the animation to the musical score.
Funny, poignant, and somewhat absurd, Pom Poko manages to be thought-provoking without depressing, and, while bitter-sweet at times, the comedic nature of the tanuki is hard to resist. The film was directed by Isao Takahata, and his unique style comes through in not only the story, but the animation as well. While the film still maintains a classic Studio Ghibli feel, it also stands out for its quirky character designs.
Tales From Earthsea Based loosely on the novels by author Ursula K. Le Guin, Tales of Earthsea is an epic fantasy story of kings, dragons, knights, and magic. Be warned if you are a fan of the original novels: The movie, while inspired by Le Guin’s work, is "entirely different" , though that doesn't make it any less beautiful. The film follows the story of Prince Arren , who flees his home after killing his own father and travels across the land followed by a strange presence.
Like Only Yesterday, From Up on Poppy Hill’s beauty lies in its simplicity. Day-to-day life is given a magical aura through detailed artwork and scenery. However, the film also dives into the trauma that war can leave behind, with evocative and beautifully animated moments of the horror that battle can bring. The film is breathtaking and thought-provoking, while still remaining gentle in its approach to heavier topics and leaving behind a sweet sensation in its wake.
