Nausicaa.net : The one-stop place for all you ghibli needs.
And I don't know how you arrived at me being the all-knowing :S
quote:
"Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind" was a great success both in terms of the box-office performance and in its achievement of a high quality work. This success triggered the founding of Studio GHIBLI in 1985 by Tokuma Shoten (Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd), the publishing company that produced "Nausicaa." In the same year, the Studio produced a feature film called "Laputa: The Castle in the Sky." Since then, the studio has been specializing in producing theatrical animation films under the direction of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. For those who are not aware, the word "GHIBLI" means "hot wind blowing through the Sahara Desert," which was used during the World War II by Italian pilots referring to their scouting airplanes. Miyazaki, a craze for airplanes, knew this, and decided to take this word for the Studio name. "Let's blow a sensational wind into the Japanese world of animation!" was, I remember, the intention behind the naming of GHIBLI.
Hope that explains it.
