Founded in 1985, the powerhouse has produced classics like My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl\u2019s Moving Castle, which have garnered critical acclaim and inspired the animation industry.<\/p>\n<p>As The World of Studio Ghibli lands for the first time in Singapore, fans can look forward to a few things. Top of the list? 11 galleries split across two floors (Basement 2 and Level 3) showcasing the studio\u2019s beloved flicks, with 16 large-scale theatrical sets bringing iconic scenes to life and 16 box art installations highlighting intricate details from the various movies. There are some fun activities within the galleries too! Shop for exclusive merch at the retail store when you&#8217;re done. Psst: cool programmes will take place throughout the exhibition\u2019s run, including film screenings in <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/watch-movies-alternative-outdoor-cinemas-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cinemas<\/a> across Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the exhibition as you walk through it from beginning to end.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"films-featured-in-the-world-of-studio-ghibli-exhibition\"><\/span>Films featured in The World of Studio Ghibli exhibition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.

Released in 2008, this animated fantasy by Hayao Miyazaki (aka Studio Ghibli\u2019s most prolific director) is a tale about a goldfish princess who escapes from the ocean and is helped by a human boy after she\u2019s left stranded on the shore.<\/p>\n<p>As the two grow closer, Ponyo desperately wishes to become a human girl, while her father, a powerful wizard, schemes to get her back. Why is this installation at the lily pond instead of inside the museum? \u201cBecause she\u2019s a fish,\u201d a representative tells us. Fair enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> Since this is outdoors, you\u2019ll have to jostle through the crowd to get a good shot of Ponyo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we think of this:<\/strong> It\u2019s cute but nothing special. You can see it anytime without having to pay a hefty price.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

This 2001 hit tells the story of Sophie, a young milliner who is turned into a 90-year-old woman by a witch. (Isn\u2019t that relatable, millennials? Feeling young but trapped in an ageing body\u2026) She encounters the wizard Howl and joins his motley crew as a cleaning lady.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: while the animated feature is (loosely) based on a novel of the same name, it\u2019s primarily influenced by Hayao Miyazaki\u2019s opposition towards the invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> This section starts strong with a cool moving castle, which you should film for your \u2018gram. But we absolutely adore the next space, where you can get up close with the characters. Take photos with Calcifer by pretending you\u2019re trying to stay warm or grilling something!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we think of this:<\/strong> Tbh, it didn\u2019t do the movie justice.

Castle in the Sky is a dramatic action-adventure feature that centres around Laputa. This <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/islands-near-singapore-short-getaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">island<\/a> was raised into the sky 700 years ago but has been regarded as an urban legend since then.<\/p>\n<p>Pazu, an impoverished boy, dreams of completing his late father\u2019s mission to find the lost floating island. The movie was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki\u2019s trips to Wales, where he witnessed the coal miners\u2019 strike, and the literary classic Gulliver\u2019s Travels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> Keep your eyes peeled for the half-hidden set reflected on the mirrored floor \u2013 it\u2019s a good spot for some hilarious shots. We also wanna shout out the large installation near this gallery\u2019s entrance, which highlights an iconic scene from the movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we think of this:<\/strong> Pass\u2026 sorta.

You&#8217;re not a true blue fan if you don\u2019t know this one! Taking place in a Tokyo suburb in the 1950s, the fantasy movie is about two sisters who move into a dilapidated home so that their mother can recover from a long-term illness.<\/p>\n<p>Their adventure commences when they encounter fuzzy black dust sprites, eventually leading them to meet other forest spirits. There are conspiracy theories that the movie is based on a famous <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/true-crime-murders-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">murder case<\/a> and Totoro, the well-loved Ghibli mascot, is actually a death god. We say take these with a <del>pinch<\/del> bucket of salt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> There are so many things to see and do here! You can pose with Totoro and the sisters in the rain (an umbrella is provided), peep at the \u2018sleeping\u2019 cat through various holes, and strut down a walkway covered with leaves. Take a breather at the two activity zones, where you can write \u201cnotes of little joy\u201d to your loved ones, and make an optical toy.

Thematically, this science fiction masterpiece focuses on anti-war sentiments and environmentalism. It has garnered critical acclaim and is often regarded as one of the best animated films ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> The sculpture of Nausicaa on her glider is the first thing you see once you step out of the elevator.

The only non-Hayao Miyazaki film to be featured in the exhibition, it follows a community of tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) fighting to preserve their home, which is slowly being destroyed to make way for residential development. Sounds familiar, yes? In Japanese folklore, these animals are considered magical creatures that can shapeshift and be full of mischief.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our sweet tip:<\/strong> Even though there\u2019s only one set here, take some time to explore the space.
