Going to the movies with your child for the first time is a milestone to be cherished and celebrated. While many movie-loving parents can’t wait to get there with their 2-year-old, it might be wise to grab an aisle seat for an exit strategy if you do go with a child under the age of 3.
I took my twin nieces to a movie theatre for the first time to see
A Bug’s Life when they were only 2. They were wide-eyed with excitement, taking in all the lights and sights and giant candy boxes. Once the movie started, they were enthralled with the animation and giant screen, but it didn’t last; unfortunately, we had to bug out of there mid-movie because it was “too loud.” With hands clasped over their ears, they couldn’t take it anymore, no matter how dazzled they were by the brilliant animation.

It’s an understatement to say Studio Ghibli is one of the most beloved studios, animated or otherwise, in the world. It’s special to so many for a myriad of reasons. From compelling, heartfelt stories and memorable characters, to fantastic premises and a beautiful artistic style, films like
My Friend Spirited Away, and
Howl’s Moving Castle transport audiences to worlds they never want to leave. It’s why we can easily get lost in a montage of quiet serene moments.
But one of Studio Ghibli’s best recurring visual treats always bring us right back to our own world. And in the best way. Ghibli movies feature some of the most delicious-looking food in all of animation. It’s not easy to make us crave a drawing, but that’s exactly what happens anytime one of the studio’s characters digs into a dish. Now, we know how artists consistently make that possible.

Forest sprites and witches, a pilot who is a pig, mythical princes, gods, dragons and children struggling against insurmountable odds – a cast of the good, the bad and the odd inhabit the movies produced by Studio Ghibli, and have helped make a relatively small animation studio famous around the world.
Titles such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and The Wind Rises are also synonymous with Hayao Miyazaki, the creative force behind the much-loved Japanese film company.
