Lupin III-The Castle of Cagliostro
Pom Poko
| Directed by | Isao Takahata |
|---|---|
| Produced by | Toshio Suzuki Yasuyoshi Tokuma Hayao Miyazaki |
| Screenplay by | Isao Takahata |
| Story by | Hayao Miyazaki |
| Starring | Kokontei Shinchou Makoto Nonomura Yuriko Ishida |

Pom Poko (平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ Heisei Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko?) As civilisation draws ever nearer to their idyllic forest home, a group of mischievous Japanese tanuki (raccoon dogs - Nyctereutes procyonoides) try to scare humans away. But they soon discover that humans are not their only rivals in the struggle for their age-old territory.
Released in 1994 as the Japanese economy slumped, but looking back to the sixties construction boom in Tokyo’s Tama Hills, Pom Poko questions the money-grabbing ethics of yuppie Japan, and mourns the loss of the countryside. Drawing on Japanese myths and legends, writer and director Isao Takahata presents a satirical view of woodland spirits using every available magical ruse to take on modern developers: including transformations, sabotage and trickery.
Pom Poko is a unique window into Japanese folklore, a comedy of modern failings, and an elegiac tale of unlikely heroes fighting insurmountable odds.

Porco Rosso (紅の豚 Kurenai no Buta?, literally "The Crimson Pig") was first planned as a 30-45 minutes in-flight movie on Japan Airlines. It's been described as "a movie which tired businessmen on international flights can enjoy even with their minds dulled due to lack of oxygen." As Miyazaki's imagination took off, it became a feature-length movie about an Italian Air Force pilot who left the service due to the rise of fascism. He became a bounty hunter, assuming the name "Porco Rosso."

Laputa: Castle in the Sky (天空の城ラピュタ Tenkū no Shiro Rapyuta?) is an adventure movie. Pazu rescues an unconscious girl descending from the night sky with a glowing pendant around her neck. He helps the girl, Sheeta, to escape from the air pirates and the military who are obsessed with Laputa, a legendary kingdom on a floating island in the sky with which Sheeta is suspected of being connected.
With an adventurous boy as the main character, Miyazaki tells "a story that involves discoveries and wonderful encounters...a story that carries a message of hope." The production of Laputa also led to the establishment of Studio Ghibli in 1985.
Initially, this film had a brief theatrical screening in America in 1989. Since then, Disney has brought the film to the United States and to the rest of the world with a soundtrack freshly rescored by Joe Hisaishi, who composed the original, and performed by a full symphony orchestra.
