Studio Ghibli Theme Park Has a New Commercial

By Evan Valentine

Studio Ghibli has well earned its place as one of the most legendary anime studios to ever arise out of Japan, with director Hayao Miyazaki assisting in creating countless heartfelt films throughout the years. While it is currently working on a new film to add to its ever-expanding library, it is also set to swing open its doors to its first-ever amusement park later this year and a new trailer gives fans a better look into the real-life recreation of Ghibli's biggest locales.          

Ghibli has been hyping up their upcoming amusement park for some time, with this year set to see the official opening of the attractions such as the "Grand Warehouse", "Hill of Youth", and "Dondoko Forest", though these aren't the only anime locals that are looking to hit the real world. In 2023, a recreation of "Mononoke Village" will also be opened, and in 2024, Witch Valley will arrive in the Ghibli Amusement Park as well. Besides bringing to life some major environments from their award-winning properties, the Ghibli park has revealed photos earlier this year that show recreations of characters from films such as Spirited Away will also be featured in the attractions that will arrive this November.

Twitter Outlet Catsuka released a new trailer showing Studio Ghibli's live-action amusement park, with the environments showing the level of detail that the animation house is looking to bring to its attractions which will shine a spotlight on quite a few of its biggest properties:

Studio Ghibli isn't just working on this new amusement park, it is also working on a new feature-length film which has been promoted as the last film from legendary director Hayao Miyazaki. Titled "How Do You Live?", based on a novel released in 1937 that follows a fifteen-year-old dealing with problems related to poverty and his spirit, the Ghibli film has yet to reveal its release date following its postponement thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. With Ghibli's previous effort, Earwig And The Witch, marking the first time that Ghibli used CG animation, the upcoming film will apparently be a return to form for the animation studio.
