    • Trivia
      Studio Ghibli sent Michael Dudok de Wit an email with two questions: if they could distribute his short film Father and Daughter (2000) in Japan, and if he would make a feature film for them. Dudok de Wit replied answering the first question and saying he did not understand the second, as he was baffled and could not believe it.

    • Crazy credits
      The Studio Ghibli logo is red instead of the traditional blue, to honor the title character.

    Thoughtful
    This film has no dialogue and tells its story visually. It has a unique and thoughtful style that invites you to think about what it really means. To me it is about humanity's relationship with nature and gaining appreciation of our own lives.
