Studio Ghibli 28 DVD Box Set

by Hayao Miyazaki

You are purchasing the most recent released amazing brand new box set of all the Studio Ghibli movies from 'Nausica of the Valley of the Wind-1984', through to the successful 'Spirited Away' and more... by Hayao Miyazaki

(Born January 5, 1941 in Tokyo, Japan) is a director of animated films and a co-founder of the animation studio and production company Studio Ghibli.

Miyazaki is the creator of many popular animated feature films, as well as manga. Although largely unknown in the West outside of animation communities until Miramax released his film Princess Mononoke in 1999, his films have enjoyed both commercial and critical success in Japan and East Asia. Miyazaki's Spirited Away is the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan; Princess Mononoke held the same title for a short period until the release of Titanic later in the same year.

Miyazaki's films are distinguished by recurring themes such as humanity's relationship to nature and technology, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic. The protagonists of his films are often strong, independent girls or young women; the villains, when present, are often morally ambiguous characters and have redeeming qualities.

Miyazaki's films have generally been financially successful, and this success has invited comparisons with American animator Walt Disney. However, Miyazaki does not see himself as a person building an animation empire, but as an animator fortunate enough to have been able to make films with complete creative control. In 2006, Time magazine voted Miyazaki as one of the most influential Asians in the past 60 years.

Toshio Suzuki, at a Studio Ghibli press conference on 2007-01-17, indicated that the title of the next Miyazaki film would be announced in March 2007. During the March, 19th edition of Japanese news program “NNN News??????”, the film's title was announced as Gake no ue no Ponyo, literally "Ponyo on a Cliff." It will be released in summer of 2008.
