I've seen only one Studio Ghibli movie, and that was Porco Rosso, one of the earlier features of Studio Ghibli. I like behind-the-scenes documentaries and The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness is a maudlin, very insightful look at Hayao Miyazaki and his thoughts and philosophy about animation. I especially liked the juxtaposition with the loyal cat at the Studio, the outside greenery, the transmission towers. It's sort of a stream of consciousness and we get an insight into one of the great animation directors of our time.
We also see Hayao's loyal PA and the other staff members, who take exercise breaks led by Hayao.
Seeing the lights go out on the Studio was sad and reminded me when the tents folded for good in the M*A*S*H.
