Working out of a friendly bakery, she starts an airborne delivery service and gradually confronts self-doubt, loneliness, and the challenge of growing up. Released in 1989, the film became a huge box-office success in Japan and helped cement Studio Ghibli’s reputation worldwide for warm, character-driven fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003ePoster design\u003cbr data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003eThis first-release B2 uses one of the film’s most beloved images.
