It was announced that an animated film based on Mary Stuart's book The Little Broomstick will premiere in Summer 2017.

Synopsis
It is Tib the black cat who leads Mary to the strange flower in the woods. When she discovers a little broomstick shortly afterwards, she is astonished to feel it jump into action. Before she can gather her wits, it is whisking her over the treetops, above the clouds, and into the grounds of Endor College, where: "All Examinations Coached for by A Competent Staff of Fully-Qualified Witches." Here she discovers evidence of a terrible experiment in transformation—deformed and mutant animals imprisoned in cages. In the moment after her broomstick takes off, she realizes that Tib has been captured. Returning to the College the following day, she manages to free the animals, but not before the Head of the college, Miss Mumblechook, and her colleague, Doctor Dee, have seen her. Mary manages to flee ...but the evil pair are in hot pursuit! (Source: Amazon, edited)

This looks really nice, glad to see these people left Ghibli to do their own stuff, kind of like the rebellious Trigger guys.

This too much resembles Studio Ghibli.. It's a good and a bad thing at the same time.

Certainly can't wait for this.

Also funny to see all people going "Omg this looks like Ghibli" considering for all intents and purposes this studio IS most of relevant Ghibli people to have split. That's like saying that MAPPA looks like Madhouse or Trigger looks like Gainax.

By former ghibli people but they don't have the studio name recognition, so it may bomb.

Hiromasa Yonebayashi isn't a very good writer and director. While I enjoyed Marnie, it didn't have the same magic as Miyazaki and Takahata's movies and also wasn't as impressively animated. I remember finding Arrietty a bit better, but Miyazaki co-wrote that. I hope they can find their way without following in his shadow.
