Studio Ghibli Awarded Honorary Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival - Main Image
Studio Ghibli just made history recently as it was awarded the honorary Palme d’Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. This marks yet another major award for the studio, though it’s quite surprising given that Ghibli has not released any new films since The Boy and the Heron last year.
While the Palme d’Or is the most significant Cannes award, the honorary version can be seen as sort of a lifetime achievement award.
Still, it’s a big honor, especially as Ghibli being given the award is a first in Cannes history in one key way.
Why Studio Ghibli’s Honorary Palme d’Or Is a Big Deal
Studio Ghibli is perhaps one of the most celebrated animation studios in Japan, as its works such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro are beloved across the world.
