Behind the Scenes

Origins

At the end of 2014, the animation production department of Studio Ghibli was dissolved post-obit Hayao Miyazaki announcing his retirement in September 2013. In March 2015, Hiromasa Yonebayashi publicly expressed his desire to direct a third moving-picture show for Ghibli, hoping to move away from a project like
When Marnie Was There
to a more action-based picture similar [[Ponyo]].

On April 15, 2015, Yoshiaki Nishimura, producer on
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
and
When Marnie Was At that place, still an employee of Ghibli and the designated successor of Toshio Suzuki, established a new company, Studio Ponoc. “Ponoc” is Serbo-Croatian word, roughly translating to “midnight” to signify “the beginning of a new mean solar day.”^[1]

In Feb 2016, Nishimura and Yonebayashi, returning from the 88th University Awardsfor
When Marnie Was There, discover out that Studio Ghibli’s production offices was completely empty and would not be returning. Shortly thereafter, as what many had suspected: Yonebayashi would direct a 3rd feature film, but inside Studio Ponoc.

“Starting from nothing was quite scary, but in starting from zero there is promise as well,” Nishimura says. This sense of a new showtime was used to rally talent from Ghibli and elsewhere, and Nishimura recognized that without the cooperation of others, his goal of a new studio would take been impossible; without the Ghibli make to rely on, the upstart studio would need to grow from its own drove of talent.^[2]

Following Miyazaki’s method of adapting children’south books, Yonebayashi decided on adapting
The Lilliputian Broomstick
by Mary Stuart. When asked what inspired them to arrange this book, Nishimura responds:

“Well, there are iii reasons: first, after we left Studio Ghibli and founded Studio Ponoc, we wanted to have an energetic main character and a fantasy setting. The concluding picture show Yonebayashi-san directed at Studio Ghibli – When Marnie Was At that place – was a very tranquility picture nearly the internal thoughts and emotions of a girl. But Managing director Yonebayashi’s speciality is actually dynamic action, which he learned as an animator nether director Hayao Miyazaki, something he developed into a real talent. I thought “which motif volition permit the kind of fantasy setting we’re looking for?” I read a lot of immature adult literature and fantasy looking for stories, and nigh all of these stories involving magic feature characters using magic to solve hard problems, but in this book – in “The Little Broomstick” – the main graphic symbol, Mary, says “I’thousand going to open this door only I won’t use magic – no matter how much time information technology’ll take, I’ll do it on my own, without magic” and I thought “this should exist the heroine we use for our movie”.”

“The second reason is, this theme of not using magic to solve a trouble – it fit into the state of affairs that I and Yonebayashi-san and others at Studio Ghibli faced: we were now no longer nether the “magic umbrella” of Studio Ghibli and needed to complete a film on our own. And then the feeling that nosotros needed to stand up on our own 2 feet was role of it.”

“Lastly, there is one other motif in The Little Broomstick – the magic flower, the fly-by-night. This is the flower that gives magic power to normal humans. We treated this as Prometheus Burn – something that humans shouldn’t actually have, something that wreaks destruction if they get too close to it. That relates to the challenges we face in this present day, in our own lives.”

Planning

Mary and the Witch’s Blossom
is an accommodation of British writer Mary Stewart’due south 1971 children’s book
The Little Broomstick. Information technology was kickoff published in 1975 in Japan and re-released with a new translation by Kadokawa in 2017 to back-trail the film’due south release. The film’south screenplay is by Riko Sakaguchi (The Tale of Princess Kaguya) and director Hiromasa Yonebayashi.

Pre-production began in a building in Musashino, Tokyo, Japan in Dec 2015. Ponoc’s operation began smoothly, starting with advertising support from JR Nishi Nihon, regional subsidiary of the JR rail group. The studio also hired Yoshiyuki Momose, one of the pillars of Studio Ghibli. Around this time, Yonebayashi broke the news to Miyazaki that he was moving forward with the film’s production. “He was happy,” Yonebayashi explained. “Miyazaki isn’t someone who shows their feelings easily, so it was surprising.”^[3]

“I would like to create films inherited from the spirit of Ghibli” elaborated Nishimura. “At that place are a lot of studios that brand proficient films, but few that are responsible and reflect on the image and values ​​they convey through their productions. It is for this reason that we felt compelled to create our ain studio.”

They would try to apply the iii points that Miyazaki taught them:

• A movie must be fun.
• It must be interesting.
• Information technology must make a profit in lodge to exist able to make some other ane.

Product

“This fourth dimension we wanted to make a moving-picture show with a protagonist who acts before thinking… This applies to starting a new studio as well; information technology was important we take action without thinking too much.”

—Hiromasa Yonebayashi

The film’s production was composed of eighty% of Ghibli’s production staff. Much of the picture’s style and storytelling was greatly affected by Ghibli. According to Director Yonebayashi, “We employed lots of hand drawn animators for Mary and we are confident that we fully employed their strength and power for the paw drawn animation. With the short films we are trying to employ lots of paw drawn animation and lots of CG animation too, and it is our challenge to mix these two medias. Hand drawn animation and computer graphics.”

The biggest challenges the animators faced was animative the fantastical characters and creatures assuredly. “One is when Mary enters Endor College and the headmistress appears in the water – that was very tough to breathing. The other 1 was when the animals are freed, transformed back into their original animal shapes and freed, escaping the cave where they were imprisoned. There were and then many different animals, each with slightly different movement, so that was a real challenge. Each of these is only a few moments of screen time, but they took about two months to finish. There were many scenes like that, that were difficult to animate. Only what I put a lot of effort into were the scenes where Mary loses her magic power and has to rely on just her human ingenuity and strength, and with renewed determination runs to the rescue simply on her own ability.” Yonebayashi explains further.^[4]

When creating the grapheme of Mary, Yonebayashi considered themes of transformation from within, “Initially Mary has an inferiority complex about her ginger red hair and she was so unhappy that she would curse herself in the mirror – just somewhen through her adventure they don’t matter to her. Initially she was thinking only of herself but somewhen she discovered that she was able to cede herself to save other people. That was the theme when I was designing these aspects.”

“Also in that location is a symbol on Mary’southward palm that indicates when she is granted power, enormous power. But when she really needed the power the well-nigh she was unable to use it, she would just encounter a petty scar on her palm. Nevertheless, she would turn her palm into a fist and proceed to become forward. We wanted to portray her conclusion. That even when she loses the magical ability she is adamant to become ahead. We thought that this was of import and would resonated with a lot of audiences.”

In December 2016, Studio Ponoc unveiled the first teaser of
Mary and the Witch’south Flower. The release appointment was ready for July 8, 2017.

In January 2017, Hayao Miyazaki visited Ponoc’due south offices to encounter his quondam collaborators, who have dubbed the studio as the “next generation of Ghibli”. “On Arrietty, Mr. Miyazaki oftentimes told me that I did non understand anything while looking at my
genga” Yonebayashi humorously explained. “But this fourth dimension, he simply came to chat.”

Additionally, the ending credits contained a “Thank yous” message addressed to Hayao Miyazaki. For this reason, the moving-picture show is sometimes described equally “the second Studio Ghibli” or the successor to Studio Ghibli.
