Notes
[edit]- ^ Co-production with Wild Bunch[23]
- ^ This film was actually funded and produced by Ghibli in their only independent and (almost entirely) live-action production, nevertheless it is still included on the "Ghibli Gakujutsu Library" probably because of its documentary format.
- ^ Not produced but re-released under the Studio Ghibli brand
