Ah. Never heard of that one. Evidently released in 1972, predating Ghibli’s founding by more than a decade. But written by Hayao Miyazaki, so, we can include it anyway, as an honorary Ghibli work. 😉

Yeah technically it isn’t ‘Ghibli’ but like you said it’s written by Miyazaki and also directed by Isao Takahata! It’s also included in all of the Ghibli Collector Edition stuff so I counted it…

Well…honestly…I defiintely missed a few of them (thanks Merlin for this handy list 😅). But then again…there is much more classic anime that I missed out on lol 😂 Great though that you have seen all 24 of them: Wow, impressive 😊
