Some of the top stories from Studio Ghibli include 'My Neighbor Totoro'. It's a heartwarming story about two sisters who move to the countryside and encounter the magical Totoro. Another great one is 'Spirited Away' which tells the tale of a young girl named Chihiro who enters a spirit world and has to find a way to save her parents and herself. 'Princess Mononoke' is also very popular, dealing with the conflict between nature and humans.
No. While some Studio Ghibli movies may draw inspiration from real - life elements or historical periods, not all of them are based on true stories. For example, 'My Neighbor Totoro' is more of a fictional story set in a magical rural Japan, created to evoke a sense of wonder and childhood innocence.
Studio Ghibli's movies were usually based on novels. The following is a list of some of Studio Ghibli's movies and their original novels:
1 Porco Rosso-The novel Porco Rosso by Italy's Comandino was adapted into a movie.
2 Despicable Me-Pixar Animation Studios 'work adapted from the children's novel of the same name, Gru and His Minions.
3 Spirited Away-The Japanese movie Spirited Away was adapted into the movie Spirited Away.
4. Kiki's Delivery Service-The Japanese film, Kiki's Delivery Service, was adapted into the movie, Kiki's Delivery Service.
5 "Your Name"-Japan's "Your Name" was adapted into the movie "Your Name".
6 Nausicaäof the Valley of the Wind-The novel by Italy's Mastrini, Nausicaäof the Valley of the Wind, was adapted into a movie.
7 The Cat Returns-The Japanese movie The Cat Returns was adapted into the movie The Cat Returns.
In addition to the movies listed above, Studio Ghibli has many other movies that are also adapted from the corresponding novels.
My favorite Studio Ghibli top story is 'Spirited Away'. The world that Miyazaki created is so imaginative. The different spirits, like No - Face, are really unique. And Chihiro's journey from a scared girl to a brave one is very inspiring. It also has a lot of deep messages about greed, love, and growing up.
I can't provide information about new movies in 2018 because my knowledge ends in 2021 and I can't browse the internet for information. However, if you're willing, I can provide you with some other types of suggestions. For example, if you like suspense or thrills, you can consider watching movies like The Dark Knight Rises, The Eternals, The Mist, or Alien: Contract. If you like action movies, you can consider watching movies like Black Widow, 007: No Time to Die, Terminator: Judgment Day, or Cicada's Escape.
Some movies may have obvious historical or cultural references. For example, if a movie is set in a specific historical period of Japan like the post - war era and depicts real - life situations of that time, it might be based on true stories. But it's not always straightforward.
I can't provide any information about the movie Twilight: New Moon because it hasn't been released yet. In addition, my knowledge deadline is 2021, so I can't predict the plot of the future movie.
