Logo[]
.png){kind=link}
On a blue background, we see a drawing of the character Totoro from the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro, with Little Totoro sitting on his head. The Japanese characters "スタジオジブリ作品" are seen on the bottom right, and underneath that is "STUDIO GHIBLI" in Futura, with a line above it.
Variants:
- On the 1994 Fox Video release of My Neighbor Totoro, the logo fades out and goes straight to the "This film has been modified" screen.
- On the Disney US releases of Kiki's Delivery Service, the logo is centered to fit a 4:3 screen.
- Starting with Howl's Moving Castle in 2004, this logo was updated to a light blue background, from the previous dark blue. The text also appears to be bolder.
- HD masters of Ghibli movies use this version instead of the previous one.
- On the HD master of Pom Poko (on at least the British Blu-Ray), the image of Totoro is white and looks glitchy. This is very likely an error with the print used.
- A special variant appears on episode 2 of Ghiblies. The image of Totoro is slightly off-center, then it rotates to reveal a character from the mini-movie using a laptop. He removes "ジブリ作品" using his laptop, then reenters it as "ギブリ作品", making it "スタジオギブリ作品" (Sutajio Giburi, an alternate spelling of the Japanese name).
- On the short Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo, the logo has a red background, is in scope, and has a film effect. It's also positioned to the right.
- On The Red Turtle, the logo's background is also red, which is a reference to the film's titular character. The logo is centered compared to the previous one.
- On the original NHK G airing of Earwig and the Witch, no text appears on the logo, leaving just the Totoro image. The regular version is used on international prints and later airings of the film.
Music/Sounds[]
None, or the opening theme of the movie.
Scare Factor[]
None for all variants. This is a favorite of many.
