They're in both films. Susuwatari or soot sprites.

Oh Ive clearly completely forgot where they were in spirited away. Time for a rewatch :)

Never a bad time for a spirited away rewatch! the soot sprites were always my favorites haha. perfect amount of comedy to give u a short laughing/heartwarming break from sad or scary moments in the film

Like minions, until they made the shows about the minions, and then it was too much... Uh oh.

He recycled a lot of his creatures. The cat-thing in Nausica was in a couple of others, I just can’t remember which one. I want to say Castle in the Sky?

For anyone getting too excited… it’s a 3 minute short.

3 minutes of studio ghibli anything is like drugs. mixed with star wars and it might as well be fentanyl

I don't what this is, but.. Grogu. So, ok..

I was expecting a show or movie? It’s 3 minutes. A fun 3 minutes I guess. Added to my LSD watchlist

Zinouk t1_iw2mfkk wrote

Shit, any Studio Ghibli movie would be a crazy LSD watchlist add. Princess Mononoke is my recommendation.

Wow that’s a whole two minutes shorter than I predicted of it being a 5 minute short 😂

Hope this leads to more collaboration. Visions was one of my favorite star wars things in a while since it just let people take the core concepts of star wars and do their own things with them. Would love to see what ghibli would do

Music by good old Ludde. It’s really cool to see how well he’s been doing lately.

Kalse1229 t1_iw1p9wj wrote

You know what? This seems like the perfect matchup. I'm sold. Spirited Away is the only Ghibli film I've seen, but it's one of my faves of all time. And I'll always be biased towards Grogu because he was my grandmother's favorite thing in the world. I'll watch it.

No-Understanding2054 t1_iw2cdk5 wrote

whaaaat? please watch more. princess mononoke, castle in the sky, my neighbor totoro, and so many others. the crown jewels of all anime

DaFugYouSay t1_iw2dtfr wrote

I hate to call it anime even because it's unlike the mainstream anime that I see elsewhere which lacks subtlety and is over the top and boorish to boot.

stomach t1_iw2j701 wrote

?? it's legit anime. literally translates to 'animation' as produced by Japanese culture - the soulless flashy mindless fluff is what sucks, but doesn't give 'animation' a bad name, just their studios

DaFugYouSay t1_iw2kjs7 wrote

I didn't say it wasn't, but it goes like this "hey my friends, you need to watch miyazaki's films because they are great films," to which my friends reply "I don't like anime." And nothing I say can change that, I don't blame them because most of what passes for anime is rubbish, and Studio Ghibli's films are nothing like them at least none that I've seen.

2347564 t1_iw2pano wrote

My friends are the exact opposite. They won’t let themselves consider studio ghibli films anime simply BECAUSE they enjoy them. But yeah they refuse to watch any other anime.

Very short and frankly, very simple. It should get released on YT as Mandalorian promo, not behind paywall.

Oh god.

They’ve finally done it.

They got so obsessed with wondering if they could, they didn’t think about if they should!

They’ve incorporated myasaki films into the Disney Multiverse!

Pope---of---Hope t1_iw2iswp wrote

I really hope Hayao Miyazaki is directly involved. The movies that Miyazaki's son Goro has been making under the Ghibli banner have been painfully subpar and lacking in that trademark magic.

man, I don't envy Goro. Insane pressure on following his legendary father's steps, who then scolded him hard for his first movie. Can't imagine how he must have felt

I don't care much for Star Wars or The Mandalorian, so I'm not in a rush to watch this. I'm not subscribing to Disney+ just for a short lol

BeskarForSale t1_iw2h4uz wrote

Star Wars always had bizarre names with the odd real world name mixed in. Its part of the charm. Like think about it, we have guys called Boba, Din, Fenn, Obi-Wan, Ki-adi-mundi, Kit Fisto, Lando, etc.

DigDux t1_iw2kw8i wrote

So... I'm a language guy, but I want to drop some fun little knowledge.

The phonetics of Star Wars is rooted in modern language phonetics, but not English phonetics, so when you take Gro and gu and smush them together it sounds more awkward than say Yo and Da, both of which have very common real world phonetics, Da is Russian, while Yo is distinctly Japanese, as in Yo-kai.

So you are both correct.

RoundMouse503 t1_iw2vta4 wrote

All I’m saying is that as a big Ghibli fan and a huge SW fan, I was hoping for a bigger project. At least a Visions episode (which I suppose is still a possibility). A Grogu short is okay, I guess. I’m going to watch it today, I’m sure it’s really cute.

Dayofsloths t1_iw281ff wrote

Idk, star wars has always been primarily about selling toys. That was George Lucas' plan from day one, merchandising. Ghilbi has always seemed better than that to me.
