Studio Ghibli to release new animation in 2011
0 
The renowned Japanese animation company, Studio Ghibli, has announced its new film for 2011, Mtime.com reports. Goro Miyazaki, the son of the animation master, Hayao Miyazaki, will direct the film.
The movie is adapted from the 1980 manga "Kokuriko-Zaka Kara". The story is set in 1963 and is about a high school girl named Komatsuzaki living in Yokohama, a harbor city near Tokyo. Her sailor father went missing after an accident and her mother is frequently going abroad for work. The manga recounts Komatsuzaki's everyday life of "laughter and tears" with two boys -- a school newspaper member and the student council president.

Hayao Miyazaki has given great praise to this manga. However, as Goro Miyazaki's last movie "Tales from Earthsea" disappointed the audience, many Ghibli fans doubt whether Goro Miyazaki would be suitable to direct the new Ghibli picture.
Many of Studio Ghibli's anime feature films made the studio famous worldwide. In 2002, the animation film "Spirited Away," directed by Hayao Miyazaki, won an American Academy Award.
The film will open in Japan in the summer of 2011.
