Significant achievements

Notes

  1. 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.
  2. Not produced but re-released under the Studio Ghibli brand
