If leaked titles for foreign language films don't get you excited, I don't know what will. What's that? Literally anything else? Give us a break though, it's Thanksgiving, news is slow, and us animation fans will eat this up. Though these films aren't officially announced, the titles were leaked after Studio Ghibli's Japanese distributor registered domain names for the films.

The new Hayao Miyazaki film will be titled Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises). The World War II set story centers on the man who designed the Zero Fighter plane for Japan.

The new film from Isao Takahata is called Kaguya-Hime no Monogatari (Princess Kaguya Story). The movie will be based on the Japanese folk tale, "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter."

Both films are somewhat related to the directors' past work. According to /Film Miyazaki has stated that this new film, whose source material features anthropomorphized pigs, will be related to Porco Rosso. »

Fans of Studio Ghibli will be happy to hear they've added two new films to their upcoming slate from two of the medium's most acclaimed directors.  First up from Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) comes The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu). Based on his most recent comic, The Wind Rises centers on Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed the Zero Fighter used by Japanese pilots in World War II. In an interesting note, the manga's characters happen to be anthropomorphic pigs. Also added to Studio Ghibli's list is Princess Kaguya Story (Kaguya-Hime no Monogatari), the new film from director Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies). This film is based on the Japanese folk story, "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," which was also referenced in Takahata's 1999 work, My Neighbors the Yamadas.
