Listen "Take 17: Studio Ghibli"
Episode Synopsis
Doeful-eyed young protagonists, high adventure, aviation-based shenanigans, craggy-faced crones of various motivations, Bogartian pigs, airborne pirates, giant mechanical bagpipe-shaped walking castles, mysterious creatures of various descriptions and an array of princesses. Yes it’s the wonderful world of Ghibli! Thanks largely to chief animators Miyazaki and Takahata, audiences / viewers have for a generation been able to enjoy all of the above and more, set to some of the most beautiful animation and first rate scores.
Film Fives will be back with, subject to timings, either Laurel & Hardy films or films of 2022
