Ghibli making a movie of The Borrowers

Fuck yes.
I read the shit out of the entire series as a kid. Even went to see the movie with Jim Broadbent as the Dad -- was actually pretty damn good, not that anyone else saw it.
Should fit right in with Ghibli's style, too.

Isao Takahata directing Taketori Monogatari

The absurdly late hours I'm keeping have their benefits, as I managed to browse past a few news sites reporting that Studio Ghibli's better half, Isao Takahata, is finally making another film. Every bit as brilliant a director as Miyazaki, Takahata hasn't made a film since the criminally great My Neighbors the Yamadas ten years ago.
Taketori Monogatari/The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is one of the more famous Japanese legends -- it's sort of hard to watch much anime without tripping over the thing. After all, they have a god damn holiday about it.
A baby found in the woods who turns out to be a princess from the moon sounds like exactly the sort of material Studio Ghibli excels at.
