Cryptic image sends fans wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re two of the most famous animation studios in the world, albeit with entirely different styles. Studio Ghibli is famous for its traditional, hand-drawn illustrations, while Pixar is the king of CGI world-building. But if a cryptic tweet from the former is anything to go by, they might be about to join forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio Ghibli\u00a0took to Twitter to post a drawing (below) showing a scene from its 1988 hit classic\u00a0My Neighbour Totoro, adapted to feature Michael \u201cMike\u201d Wazowski and James P. \u201cSulley\u201d Sullivan of Monsters, Inc. fame. (You can find every Pixar film on\u00a0Disney Plus \u2013 here’s how to get 15% off<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published with no caption, it’s unclear whether the tweet is a hint at a potential collaboration with Pixar, or simply an affectionate nod to the animation powerhouse. It wouldn’t be the first time the worlds of Pixar and Studio Ghibli have collided \u2013 fans might remember that Totoro had a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while Studio Ghibli is most famous for its traditional animations, the company has recently forayed into computer animation \u2013 albeit with mixed results<\/a>. But if there’s one studio that can help Ghibli achieve CGI greatness, it’s Pixar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not a collab comes to fruition, there’s been plenty for both Ghibli and and Pixar fans to get their teeth into over the past few months, from this terrifying Pixar logo transformation<\/a> to this tantalising secret behind Studio Ghibli’s iconic food animation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
