Hell yeah! I love all of their movies.. except that one earwig and the witch.. even my kids thought it was hot garbage… the most bizarre outlier considering how great everything else is

The name Ghibli for a Japanese animation studio has always been something curious to me.
From Grok:
Studio Ghibli's name comes from the Arabic word "ghibli," meaning a hot desert wind, specifically the sirocco wind in North Africa. Hayao Miyazaki, one of the studio's co-founders, chose the name to symbolize their goal of bringing a fresh, dynamic energy to the animation industry, blowing new life into it like a gust of wind. The term was also inspired by the Italian Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli, a World War II aircraft, reflecting Miyazaki's fascination with aviation.
