Studio Ghibli releases free footage of its most beloved movies

It’s been a fruitful year for Studio Ghibli fans. Not only did all 21 films recently land on Netflix, but we also recently got our first look at his first CGI film, which is slated for release this year. As if that weren’t enough, the studio has now begun rolling out an archive of free, high-res stills from its movies – and it’s an absolute goldmine for fans of Ghibli (or the animation in general).

The archive currently includes 50 stills from 8 films, including Spirited Away, Ponyo and The Wind Rises – and the studio said it plans to share stills from its entire production. Considered a collection, the gallery is a brilliant showcase of the traditional hand-drawn style of Studio Ghibli, as well as the talents of founder Hayao Miyazaki.
