Ghiblies is a two part short made by, guess who, Studio Ghibli. It tells the story of a animation company doing well, their jobs. Sort of. What we have here is a quick and extremely enjoyable project by Studio Ghibli in which they poke fun at themselves. It's light on story, in fact there hardly even is one, but what you get is still very nice. The art is impressive (especially in the second episode) and the sound does its job just fine. It's hard to describe Ghiblies. Technically it isn't the best, but you can feel the joythe creators had making while watching. If you are a fan of Ghibli, or animation in general, I highly recommend finding Ghiblies and giving it a shot.

This is essentially a two-part animated short by Studio Ghibli. It is cute but not story-packed. For some reason, the start of episode 2 is in 3D but goes to 2D the entire way through after the first minute. Episode 1 is basically just an introduction to the characters and a little bit about them, you are shown their personalities and the kinds of things they get up to in their fictional studio, and a little about their private life. Episode 2 starts with a little side-story for comedy purposes but then shows a childhood flashback and shows how one of the characters has developed over timeand it is like a mini childhood romcom, very cute.

Rate of 4 english subtitles Pro(s) -plot:they did a good job with narration -plot: they explained how they were different then others (originality) -art: art matched plot during dream/reminiscing moments -sound: audio was fine with no annoyances -plot: was very accurate to some regard. Seeing how they were basing this on what they do for a living the slight clips of real events (non drawings) boosted the vibe they were going for. -comedy: in some slim cases i was able to chuckle.Con(s) -plot: is jumbled some of the time. -art: does not match with what is supposed to happen. Such as for example walking -art: varies in different appearances -plot: they ask questions as if they are going to answer them then leave you hanging -plot: in some rare moments they would not press forward. Always had to look in the past. Ending remark: Nice starting animation piece for kids. For adult we have seen a lot so this basic form wont be as enjoyed unless we saw it growing up.
