Studio Ghibli Animation as Adaptations
0 - Default Title
Description
Studio Ghibli is renowned for its original storytelling in films like My Neighbor Totoro, but many of its most famous films, including Howl's Moving Castleand Ponyo, have their origins in pre-existing novels, manga, or fairy tales. Studio Ghibli's adaptations seldom directly translate source material to animation, but instead transform the works to incorporate themes or imagery central to the studio's sensibilities. Studio Ghibli Animation as Adaptations explores how these adaptations often blur genre boundaries and raise questions about what constitutes fidelity to source material. The collection also shows how the studio reinterprets and recontextualizes stories across cultures for Japanese audiences and across mediums like manga.
