According to i-D, the legendary Japanese animation studio is winding up to begin work again on two new films. That includes the opening feature film from director Hayao Miyazaki since he reported he could be coming out of retirement, along with a second unknown project.


The news broke as segment of the studio's yearly New Year's message, where it perplexing the second potential film that could be coming alongside Miyazaki's movie Kimi-tachi wa Do Ikiru Ka (How Do You Live?) in the near future. Nevertheless while this is good news for anyone who watches Kiki's Delivery Service on repeat, do not get also excited about how speedily the new movies will actually arrive. It's going to be a while.


Previously, Miyazaki's movie was projected to debut ahead of the Summer 2020 Olympics, which are being contained this year in Tokyo. Nevertheless, according to Cartoon Brew, it appears that the movie may be closer to debuting in Japan around 2021 or 2022. Adding dub plus a Western release to that concoction could take even longer.


As for that second project, there's no current intelligence on exactly what it'll entail, although we're just thankful that there really are more Ghibli films being released into the world.

If you're planning on watching just one for the moment, I'd recommend beginning with Spirited Away, which Ariana Grande has immortalized in ink on her arm.
