Lasseter-san, Thank You

About This Movie

So, 'Lasseter-san, Thank You' is this fascinating little documentary that gives a peek into the behind-the-scenes vibe at Studio Ghibli during their 2002 promotional trip for 'Spirited Away' in North America. You really get a sense of the camaraderie among the Ghibli crew, almost like you’re privy to a private moment. The whole thing has this intimate, home-movie feel that really sets it apart.
