prevnextApparently both 'Grave of the Fireflies’ and 'My Neighbor Totoro’ opened on the same day, 30 years ago today. Not bad considering they’re the two best animated films of all time.

prevnextA double feature of MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO and GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES (both of which turn 30 today and coincidently were double billed when they premiered) is a perfect blend of optimism and melancholy. I highly suggest you view one (or both) today. pic.twitter.com/0ldZMorouQ

prevnext30 years ago, Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies were released on this day. In 1988, Hayao Miyazaki was 47, Isao Takahata was 52, and I was 10. Today we pay tribute to celebrate timeless storytelling and persistent film making. I feel very lucky to be alive during their lifetime. pic.twitter.com/GosyYHY7dj

prevnextI had absolutely no idea that My Neighbour Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies were released on the same day (exactly thirty years ago) as part of a double bill.
I find both of their original posters absolutely beautiful. pic.twitter.com/FWKiPmkrz8

prevnextGrave of the Fireflies was released 30 years ago on April 16 1988. To honor its visionary director Isao Takahata, who passed away a few days ago, we went through his whole career to detail how he changed anime forever, while also changing himself. https://t.co/f6RnAhJYa5 pic.twitter.com/CqgIGgQcNa
