How Many Movies Does Studio Ghibli Have? Complete Guide

Despite becoming a rare occasion with every new year, Studio Ghibli’s movies are regarded as the gems of the world animation industry, proving that its fans would rather revisit the same titles over and over again rather than witnessing the quality’s degradation in new arrivals.

With almost 40 years of existence, Studio Ghibli has produced tens of movies and is credited even for a couple of the most prominent titles that the company initially had little to do with.

Here’s everything to know about the number of Studio Ghibli’s credits.

Studio Ghibli Owns More than 20 Movies So Far

For now, the company has helmed 23 movies since its launch back in 1985.

Some titles, however, became Studio Ghibli’s property thanks to Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata’s willingness to do so.

Grave of the Fireflies, for example, was animated by Ghibli, but not produced, while Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is considered the studio’s movie just because of Miyazaki and Takahata involvement, as well as the fundamental role the film eventually played in Studio Ghibli’s popularity and status.
