What do we love about a good film? Is it that they transport us to a different world? To places where our imagination can take flight?
The films of Studio Ghibli are full of strange creatures and extraordinary flying machines; places where sprites live and incredible transformations are possible; and lots of cats – even a cat that looks like a bus. They celebrate the beauty of nature, daring invention, and explore the idea of unlikely gods and spirits that lie just beyond our understanding.
The Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki set up Studio Ghibli in 1985. Since then he has written and directed 12 anime films. With titles like Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky, he take us to fantasy landscapes where anything can happen, and magic is just around the corner.
This episode is read by the actor Philip McGinley, best known for playing Anguy the Archer in season 3 of Game of Thrones. We are eternally grateful to our amazing sound editor Max Watson. The script was written by Camilla Akers-Douglas and produced by Henrietta McMicking and Camilla Akers-Douglas. Our theme music is by James Burrell.
