The new short A Night in the Valley of the Witches is at Ghibli Park

Read...
The web is always abuzz with news of new productions from Studio Ghibli. And the new short is the first made exclusively for the Ghibli Park, expected this summer.
The animated short film is titled Majo no Tani no Yoru (A Night in the Valley of the Witches) and is directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of Hayao Miyazaki, and Akihiko Yamashita (Modest Heroes).

The short is the sequel to Studio Ghibli's CG feature film Earwig and the Witch (2020), also directed by Goro Miyazaki, but unlike the latter, it will be made using classic 2D animation.

The premiere is scheduled for July 8 at the Orion Cinema, located inside Ghibli Park, the Ghibli-themed amusement park opening in Japan in 2022.

Here's the poster:
