Lucasfilm x Studio Ghibli
This was very unexpected xd
I thought I was going to do something longer, but ok. This short film was nice.

If this one turn out to be a teaser to a SW Visions Ghibli project, this got my interest.

There's not very much to talk about, it just exists.

I knew it was going to be a short before I watched it (it was stated as being one in the announcement). So I was expecting something between 3 - 5 min. long, and that was essentially what we got. Going in knowing that likely impacted my impression on the short.

Anyway, my thoughts on it:

It was both adorable and relaxing. The animation was lovely and the art style cute. The music was fitting for a zen experience, and the short watch time made it feel like I was indulging in a small, afternoon sweet.

The short did what it set out to do: tell a cute, little interaction between Grogu and some dust bunnies. It did that and put a little smile on my face. That's basically all I need from Grogu content, tbh.

From a technical standpoint, the animation it's quite impressive. But that's all there is here, no substance nor any redeeming values in entertainment. It's just a shameless ad for the SW franchise.

Well, this is... a thing. I dunno why they didn't just upload this to Ghibli's official YouTube channel or somethin'. I mean, for something that was announced/advertised on social media as part of a premium streaming service and raised a fair amount of hype/speculation (particularly about whether or not Miyazaki would be involved), this was ultimately kind of a nothingburger tbh.

This was quite a nice surprise, I didn't even know this got released and saw it on Disney+ which I thought and found strange as why would Grogu be in the same thumbnail as Dust Bunies from Studio Ghinbli, especially after a good time not seeing much or anything at all from Studio Ghinbli, so honestly this was a really lovely surprise to see and I really enjoyed it.

Bridging the gap between anime and Star Wars is something I really lovely so this certainly makes it have a special place for me!

Why. Why did they do this. When I think of Ghibli and Star Wars, you know what I think of? Fucking Grogu holding a flower. Epic right? God.

I saw this a few times and it does not feel like a Ghibli project, it lacks the heart of a Ghibli film, but rather just something nonsensical which somehow is going to cause the audience to like it because it has Star Wars in it.

If you really want a wholesome short production watch an episode of Luo Xiao Hei, Chi's Sweet Home, Hamtaro or Little Charo or something, Zen is just plain underwhelming.
