# An Art History of Studio Ghibli
I went to this fascinating talk about Studio Ghibli by the very knowledgeable Helen McCarthy last night. It was organised by Seed Talks who do various talks like this around the country. Helen touched on a lot of topics including history of animation in Japan, biographies of the key Ghibli people, artistic influences, and animation techniques. She was funny and engaging so made for a good speaker. Funny thing is I'm not even that into Ghibli films, but watched a few with the kids when they were younger but can see they are a cultural phenomenon.
