My Neighbor Totoro. Howl's Moving Castle. Princess Mononoke. These aren't only classics, they are stunning. Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of the most loved and best looking films in the past few decades. It's no accident why.
Here are some production drawings and watercolors from over the years, courtesy of BuzzFeed. They're not new, and you might have seen some of them before. That doesn't make them any less gorgeous.
Studio Ghibli was founded in 1985. Its first feature film was Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
