FAQ About Studio Ghibli

The vast majority of Studio Ghibli's films are indeed animated, and the studio is primarily known for its animated works. However, there are a few exceptions where Studio Ghibli has been involved in live-action or partially live-action productions. These are relatively rare compared to their animated output. Here are some notable examples:

• "The Cat Returns" (2002): This film is primarily animated, but it includes a brief live-action scene at the beginning of the movie.
• "From Up on Poppy Hill" (2011): This film is fully animated, but the ending credits sequence features photographs of real-life locations that inspired the movie's setting.
• "The Red Turtle" (2016): While not a Studio Ghibli production, this animated film was co-produced by Studio Ghibli in collaboration with other studios. It features a unique style of animation and is primarily known for its visual storytelling.
