  REVISED AND UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE BOY AND THE HERON 
   
  The animations of Japan’s Studio Ghibli are among the most respected in the movie industry. Their films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new release a guaranteed box office hit. Yet this highly profitable studio has remained fiercely independent, producing a stream of imaginative and individual animations. The studio’s founders, Hayao Miyazaki and the late Isao Takahata, have created timeless masterpieces. Their films are distinctly Japanese but the themes are universal: humanity, community and a love for the environment.
   
  Studio Ghibli outlines the history of the studio and explores the early output of its founders. It examines all the studio’s major works including Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle, as well as the Oscar-winning Spirited Away. Also included are the more recent animations: Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar-nominated masterpiece The Wind Rises, Isao Takahata’s The Tale of Princess Kaguya, Goro Miyazaki’s Earwig and the Witch and Hayao Miyazaki’s latest box office success, The Boy and the Heron, which recently won a BAFTA, Golden Globe and Academy Award.

  Music Talks With Children

  "A book of this kind, though addressed to children, must necessarily reach them through an older person. The purpose is to suggest a few of the many aspects which music may have even to the mind of a child. If these chapters, or whatever may be logically suggested by them, be actually used as the basis of simple Talks with children, music may become to them more than drill and study. They should know it as an art, full of beauty and of dignity; full of pure thought and abounding in joy. Music with these characteristics is the true music of the heart. Unless music gives true pleasure to the young it may be doubted if it is wisely studied.Our failure to present music to the young in a manner that interests and holds them is due not so much to the fact that music is too difficult for children, but because the children themselves are too difficult for us. In our ignorance we often withhold the rightful inheritance. We must not forget that the slower adult mind often meets a class of difficulties which are not recognized by the unprejudiced child. It is not infrequent that with the old fears in us we persist in recreating difficulties."  (From the Preface)
