New Studio Ghibli Anime Commercial Online

Studio Ghibli has produced an original anime TV commercial commemorating the 110th anniversary of Japanese food and manufacturing conglomerate Nisshin Seifun Group. Goro Miyazaki (Gedo Senki) storyboarded the ad. Veteran Ghibli animation director & character designer Katsuya Kondo directed the short. “Konyara,” the cat that stars in the commercial, was based on an illustration drawn by veteran Ghibli film producer Toshio Suzuki.

Select the middle of the three navigation options on the website to access the trailer in 15 second and 30 second varieties viewable in embedded or full screen resolution.

Leave it to Ghibli to pack so much character and charm into so little animation.
