The Ghibli veteran shares stories from the making of the beloved anime features, from sunrise shoots to the films’ lush new 4K restorations.

The film has grossed over $5 million through Friday.
Miyazaki’s latest will open in 2,200 theaters, far and away the widest U.S. release for any of this films.
Nippon executives will take over Ghibli’s business in October, although the studio will maintain complete creative independence.
