Overview
"My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies" are two iconic films from the legendary Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli. While both films were released on the same day in 1988, they couldn't be more different in terms of their tone, themes, and subject matter. "My Neighbor Totoro" is a whimsical and enchanting tale about two young sisters and their encounters with friendly forest spirits, while "Grave of the Fireflies" is a heart-wrenching story about two siblings struggling to survive in Japan during World War II.

Two Ghibli Fans Featuring The Dual Feature
Diksha Ray Hajong and I collaborated on this project because we are both insane about
Ghibli films. We focused on the dual feature of The Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbour Totoro, which were released on the same day by Ghibli Studio, and how the director needed to release a Cheerful movie My neighbour Totoro, to lessen the melancholy brought on by the war movie Grave of the fireflies.
