Studio Ghibli first announced the making of its first full CGI-animated film Earwig and the Witch, also known as Aya and the Witch, back in June. Now, the studio has released the trailer for the highly-anticipated movie.
Earwig and the Witch is an adaptation of Dianna Wynne Jones’ novel of the same name. The plot will follow the protagonist, Aya, who finds out later that she is the daughter of a witch.
The trailer offers a different take into Studio Ghibli animations as it was produced through CGI. The company had long been known for strictly using traditional techniques, like sketches and hand-drawings, until 1997’s Princess Mononoke.
