Toshio Suzuki was the executive managing director and long time producer for studio Ghibli. On February 1, 2008, Toshio Suzuki stepped down from the position of Studio Ghibli president which he held since 2005, and Koji Hoshino (former president of Walt Disney Japan) took over. Suzuki said he wanted to improve films with his own hands as a producer, rather than demanding this from his employees. He has revealed that Takahata and Goro Miyazaki (director of Tales from earthsea and Hayao's son) are developing projects for release after Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo. Suzuki decided to hand over the presidency to Hoshino because Hoshino has helped Studio Ghibli sell its videos since 1996, as well as helped to release the Princess Mononoke film in the United States. So the poll is to see whether members have enough knowledge of the studio's business and that apart from fan arts we really take some time to understand the real affairs behind all the brilliantly made movies and esp the characters, whom we admire.

Howl's Moving Castle
March 3, 2009 by suelne
Howl has been cursed by the Witch as well, and is seeking the love of young girl to help him break the curse. The book has enchanted readers of all ages for nearly 20 years, and the film was released on November 20, 2004 in Toho theaters across Japan (see the FAQ for other release dates).
The screenplay for the film was written by Hayao Miyazaki, who also directed the film. Katsuya Kondō was the Animation Director. Mamoru Hosoda had been selected to direct the film but abruptly left the project. Miyazaki then took up the director's role
