In this episode of the podcast, we begin a 3 part series about Studio Ghibli. In this first installment, we dive into the works of studio co-founder Isao Takahata and how he uses unconventional animation to tell stories that you'd think would be better suited for live action but he more than makes the case for animation.

Works Discussed

• Horus Prince of the Sun
• Grave of the Fireflies
• Only Yesterday
• Pom Poko
• My Neighbors the Yamadas
• The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
