《吉卜力電影完全指南》（精裝增訂版：收錄最新動畫《蒼鷺與少年》）「吉卜力學」百科全書式圖文書，收錄最新動畫《蒼鷺與少年》以生動有趣、知識爆量的書寫探索吉卜利所有的作品搭配近200張精美圖片，是吉卜力迷不可不敗的人氣指南「我想創造具真實性、精彩、帶點諷刺意味，但最重要的是，一部美麗的電影。我想描繪一個認真追求夢想的人。夢想帶有一種瘋狂的毒性，而這種毒性不能被隱藏。」──宮崎駿寫於2011年《風起》製作計畫 吉卜力動畫電影在全球颳起的旋風從未歇止，除了賣座電影，也陸續推出周邊商品，並開設美術館和主題公園，繼續擄獲影迷的心。 吉卜力工作室成立於1985年6月15日。工作室的名字發想自宮崎駿，身為飛行器迷的他以二戰期間義大利飛行巡邏隊「吉卜力」（Ghibli）為名，這個義大利文有「從撒哈拉吹向地中海的溫暖氣流」之意。自創立以來，吉卜力有如一股創意暖流，席捲了日本動畫產業。從1984年的《風之谷》到2023年的《安雅與魔女》，吉卜力動畫作品是許多人的成長回憶，也影響了無數創作者，儼然成為動畫史上一座無法超越的山。 今年84歲的宮崎駿從1960年代開始創作生涯，在1979年完成第一部動畫劇情長片《魯邦三世．卡里奧斯特羅城》。當時Animage雜誌的編輯鈴木敏夫是宮崎駿的熱心支持者，邀請他從1982年開始在雜誌上連載《風之谷》漫畫，並於1984年發行動畫長片。後來鈴木敏夫、宮崎駿和他的導師高畑勳三位人物成為吉卜力三巨頭，創立吉卜力工作室，並製作出一部部膾炙人口的動畫劇情長片，奠立了日後的事業版圖。 鈴木敏夫是吉卜力的總軍師，為工作室尋找資金、挖掘人才，想方設法將作品推到國際舞台上。兩位動畫天才宮崎駿和高畑勳，則在他的保護下恣意揮灑才華。宮崎駿的作品以幻想題材著稱，毫不保留地表現對飛行的熱愛、反戰思想、環境意識及世界和諧的冀望；而高畑勳則講求「不辭勞苦地研究」和「一絲不苟的寫實」，畫功考究細節，致力表現風格上自我突破。兩位大師撐起了吉卜力的一片天，也盡力培育工作室年輕一代的動畫師──庵野秀明、西村義明、米林宏昌、片渕須直……日後都成為獨當一面的動畫家。 這本最新的吉卜力電影書回顧吉卜力每一部長片，搭配了大量精美劇照與海報、創意團隊與工作室的照片，帶領讀者推開吉卜力工作室被植物遮蔽的大門，進入吉卜力的魔法世界。 本書改編自廣受好評的Podcast節目Ghibliotheq
