Two short films created by Ghibli explore the inner workings of a fictional animation studio, possibly mirroring their own experiences. The first premiered on a TV special dedicated to Ghibli, while the second was screened in theaters alongside 'The Cat Returns'. It's worth noting that the studio in these films is not named ジブリ (pronounced 'jiburi') like Ghibli, but ギブリ (pronounced 'giburi'), emphasizing the hard 'gi' sound like in 'give' rather than the soft 'ji' sound as in 'jigsaw'.
