Famed animated film studio that created such popular films as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and much more. Their films are often characterized by a magical or surreal nature and detailed, hand-drawn scenes that are visually stunning.
Most people associate the creative force behind the feature films with directors/producers/writers Hayao Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki, and Isao Takahata. This is a good example of a cornered resource from the business strategy book 7 Powers. The absence of these people on the resulting work is easily recognized by fans of the films.
