Two New Movies By Studio Ghibli's Co-Founders

Miyazaki's The Wind is Rising marks his first film since 2008 and recounts the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the creator of a fighter plane during WW2. Takahata, who hasn't released a movie since My Neighbors the Yamadas 14 years ago, adapts the ancient Japanese folktale Princess Kagura, which is about a princess who grows up in a bamboo plant.
