Supplemental context
Studio Ghibli's own chronology records its opening in June 1985, the release of Castle in the Sky in 1986 and the paired 1988 release of My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies. It also records staffing and studio changes. Keeping this organizational history beside the films helps future viewers see animation as collective work produced over time, not a single uniform visual style.
Creator/community: Studio Ghibli's filmmakers, animators, artists and production staff Place/era: Japan; studio opened in June 1985
Context and limits
A studio is not an individual film or a single artist. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind appears in the chronology before the studio's opening, so chronological association should not erase that distinction. The image is an invented animation workroom and landscape study, not Ghibli premises, a copied film background or an official illustration.
