Who Is Making Studio Ghibli's Earwig and the Witch?

Whether it's a success or failure I hope they learn from the experience and use it to move forward.

wait that you canipa?

Hey Canipa!

I feel like the characters and backgrounds and such actually look really nice. True, it's not Studio Ghibli's usual style, but it still looks good regardless.
I can't wait for it to be able to be watched over here in the U.S. It has me quite intrigued!!

I'm biased to traditional animes especially ghibli style

Its sad how a known company for magic 2d animation like studio ghibli is hopping on the soulless 3d train.... its just not the same magic. I could have never imagined it that studio ghibli... GHIBLI out of all companies would do that... shame.

Looks amazing! It feels like Ghibli vibe but in 3D. Honestly most people are wrong about this film. Ghibli desserves more love and less haters. You have my support Goro! Keep working ande doing your best!

its looks pretty good and more quality then a lot of japanese 3d aniimation which is usually terrible

Please Goro! Tell me it s just an early aprils fool joke?! please!

What the hell are you doing, Goro?!

I hate this so much

I would like to note that this movie is a TV Movie and this TV Movie, which air on Japanese Public Broadcaster NHK's TV Network "NHK General TV", is produced on a lower budget compared to Studio Ghibli's Theatrically released films.

This film is Studio Ghibli's first time making a 3D Animated Feature Film. Though the film is animated in 3D, this does not mean Studio Ghibli is going to replace their signature 2D Animation with 3D Animation.

Their Next Theatrical film and Hayao Miyazaki's final ever film "How Do You Live?", will be a 2D Animated film and will come out around 2023.

Ok, I can’t get over those awful eyebrows and facial expressions, but i gotta say for a first full 3D pipeline, it’s quite impressive..
But i don’t think that was a good idea, too much competition right now, their name alone won’t suffice if they change style like that...

as a 2D animation studio they were Ghibli, as a 3D sstudio they’re low end, sure they have really good animators and a few big names but that’s all there is to it..

Dear Everybody.. First off all, Yall are just disappointed because you expected a more realistic approach like in Disney movies but theyre also trying to pave their way and have their own signature twist and take on CGI... so that theyll expand more... Instead of criticizing the studio and Goro for doing the unexpected, why dont we just support our beloved studio who is trying to expand in different areas of Animation ... Seriously Yall Need to Calm Down .. Yall havent even seen the show SMH

This definitely doesn't look like isn't going to be an instant classic, but It still seems like it's worth a watch.

I dont have a problem with 3d animation, i love pixar. But this looks awful, it looks like a plastic version of monster house. I hope ghibli can work with some more experienced ed animators to learn and grow from this.

I'm British, but I don't like the English dubbing. There's something about English accents that is so flat and unpleasant in voiceovers.

Goro Miyazaki

I prefer The Anime Style

Some of the shots are visually stunning but it doesn't feel like a Ghibli film.
