'''Studio Ghibli, Inc.''' (株式会社スタジオジブリ, Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi) (formerly known as '''Topcraft''' (トップクラフト, Toppukurafuto) until June 15, 1985) is a Japanese animation film studio founded in 1971 by former [[Toei Animation|Toei Animation]] producer Toru Hara. Under the Topcraft name, the studio was known for the production of ''Nausicaa'' and doing hand-drawn animation for [[Rankin-Bass Animated Entertainment|Rankin-Bass]]. It filed for bankruptcy in 1984 (possibly due to the expensive production costs of ''Nausicaa''), which resulted in most of the animators to create a new company called Pacific Animation Corporation, which was renamed to Walt Disney Animation Japan in 1988, and was dissolved in 2004, the animation staff founded another studio known as The Answer Studio Co. Ltd., while the non-animation staff founded [[The Walt Disney Company|The Walt Disney Company Japan]]. Meanwhile during the studio's bankruptcy, Hayao Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki and Isao Takahata bought the studio and renamed it to its current name. The studio previously was a subsidiary of Tokuma Shoten. The company's logo features the character Totoro from the 1988 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.

*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|VIP Media Group]] music (likely due to a reverse plaster). This oddity can be seen on the Region 2 DVDs of the aforementioned titles.

*On the unreleased 1999 Disney dub of ''Castle in the Sky'' (which was later given a public release in 2003 on DVD), the opening theme can be heard, but it is silent if you select either the "Japanese" or "French" tracks. This is mostly due to Disney demanding Joe Hisaishi (the film's composer) to rescore and extend the film's score to appeal more to American audiences (aside from use of celebrity voices and additional dialogue).
