The Making of Ghibli Park: Phase 2 Blu-ray

How was Ghibli Park made? How was the world of Ghibli brought to life?

This valuable making-of documentary captures in detail the production process leading to the completion of Ghibli Park. The eagerly awaited second phase joins the Ghibli ga Ippai Collection!

Following the three areas opened in Phase 1, this epic record focuses on the two areas opened in Phase 2, Mononoke Village and the Valley of Witches. Filmed over more than 1,400 days, it brings together over seven and a half hours of programmes. Under director Goro Miyazaki's supervision, the documentary records the detailed process through which Ghibli's world was brought into being.

Goro Miyazaki directs the construction site. His deep curiosity and commitment to making things, also seen in filmmaking, turn ideas into a world unique to Ghibli. Craftspeople respond to his exacting demands with professional skills, completing buildings and three-dimensional creations that express this world. Special programmes also show Ghibli Park today, including an interview with Goro Miyazaki and new scenes from the Phase 1 areas.
