Since its founding in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli’s films have been a household name, from its first film Castle in the Sky to its most recent, The Boy and the Heron. Almost all of its films have received critical acclaim for its thematic storytelling, music, and animation. Two films have won Academy Awards, the first being Spirited Away in 2003 and The Boy and the Heron, twenty years later.
