Celebrate 40 years of animated filmmaking magic with Studio Ghibli Dream Artists!

Since 1985, Studio Ghibli has brought big dreams to the big screen––now, peek behind the curtain to discover the team of artists responsible for Japan’s most iconic animated films. Both a history and a deluxe art anthology, this book is the definitive compendium on Studio Ghibli’s visual style, revolutionary storytelling, and fabulous evolution across the last four decades.

Classic Filmography: Take an in-depth look at Ghibli classics, from Castle in the Sky (1986) and Princess Mononoke (1997), to Spirited Away (2001) and Ponyo (2008).

Stunning Artwork: Take in the gorgeous Ghibli art style like never before with high-quality film stills and posters from the studio’s all-star line-up of animators and illustrators.

A Journey Like No Other: Exclusive interviews, recounts, and insights from visionaries including Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata provide vital context about the studio and enrich the experience of watching its most iconic films.
