Studio Ghibli, Inc. (株式会社スタジオジブリ, Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi) is a Japanese animation film studio founded in 1985 (even though they technically produced their first film in 1984), and previously was a subsidiary of Tokuma Shoten. The company's logo features the character Totoro from the film My Neighbor Totoro. Several anime features created by Studio Ghibli have won the Animage Anime Grand Prix award including Laputa: Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, and Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989. In 2002, Spirited Away won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, the first anime film to win an Academy Award. However, Studio Ghibli never used this logo until 1991, instead they used "TOKUMA RELEASING PRESENTS" in their films. On August 3, 2014, Hayao Miyazaki (the director) retired, temporarily halting production. However, Miyazaki came out of retirement in February 13, 2017 and announced a new movie, which is currently in production. | Studio Ghibli, Inc.

Music/Sounds Variants: On the German dubbings of Howl's Moving Castle and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the logo uses the last half of the [[VIP Media Group (Germany)|VIP Media Group]] music (likely due to a reverse plaster). This oddity can be seen on the Region 2 DVDs of the aforementioned titles. | Music/Sounds Variants: On the German dubbings of Howl's Moving Castle and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the logo uses the last half of the [[VIP Media Group (Germany)|VIP Media Group]] music (likely due to a reverse plaster).

Editor's Note: Not the best logo in the world, but their movies more than make up for it. | Editor's Note: Not the best logo in the world, but their movies more than make up for it. | ||
