You cannot ignore financial reality. You can survive without income, fine, but the staff who work for you cannot. Studio Ghibli is not a one or two man company. They employ hundreds and everyone needs a income.

But I´m pretty sure the feeling is not mutual... Distribution is one thing, creative control another...<br />Would you like to see Ghibli become another satellite studio producing Planes VII or Cars VI for Disney? Because that´s what would eventually happen, regardless of what Lasseter would have promised...<br />Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843951187592993602.post-76282077228863000952014-10-04T02:11:03.050-07:002014-10-04T02:11:03.050-07:00Ghibli's films are already distributed by Disn...Ghibli's films are already distributed by Disney outside Japan. John Lasseter is a big fan of Ghibli. Miyazaki himself said he had secured the studio's future when he signed the distribution deal.<br /><br />Ghibli is in financial trouble right now because their last release was not strong in the market.Allannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843951187592993602.post-44961613375679610482014-10-03T05:04:26.285-07:002014-10-03T05:04:26.285-07:00If there is anything in the world that Ghibli does...If there is anything in the world that Ghibli does not need, it´s Disney. I cannot think of any two companies that would be a worse match. Miyazaki´s opinion on Disney has always bordered on contempt...<br />Besides, Ghibli is a national treasure to the Japanese.

Okay all three parks maybe still not very great but Cars Land, Mystic Manor and Ratatouille are very good additions. They can all do with more.<br /><br />I also agree strongly with his purchases of Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm. Now if only he would purchaseAllannoreply@blogger.com
