Get ready for Studio Ghibli Fest 2017

Fans of animated film are familiar with Studio Ghibli. Especially with the films made by director Hayao Miyazaki.

Among his many international awards, Miyazaki won an Oscar in 2003 for his film "Spirited Away." But Miyazaki has been working in animation since 1963 (when he was just 22) and has been directing his own works since 1979.

Beginning on Aug. 27, six of those films — "My Neighbor Totoro," "Kiki's Delivery Service," ""Castle in the Sky," "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind," "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spirited Away' — will screen as part of Ghibli Studio Fest 2017.

The movies will be available in both dubbed-in-English and original language prints. Click here for more information on the opening feature.

Critics have been overwhelming Miyazaki fans. Here is the late. critic Roger Ebert on why Miyazaki has been so successful:

"Miyazaki says he made the film specifically for 10-year-old girls. That is why it plays so powerfully for adult viewers. Movies made for 'everybody' are actually made for nobody in particular. Movies about specific characters in a detailed world are spellbinding because they make no attempt to cater to us; they are defiantly, triumphantly, themselves."

And for Miyazaki fans, that is more than enough.
