Ghibli Park Opens in Japan
"Ghibli's animation has always felt destined to be turned into a theme park. Hayao Miyazaki, the studio's co-founder, is one of the all-time great imaginary world-builders...
In Japan, the release of a new Ghibli film is a national event, and the studio's most popular characters are ubiquitous: plump Totoro, mysterious No Face, the grinning Cat Bus, googly-eyed soot sprites.
As a kind of shorthand, Miyazaki is often called the Walt Disney of Japan."
