Okay, So Not Closing

From Variety:

Veteran Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki discussed the famed animation house’s future in a documentary broadcast by the TBS network on its “Jonetsu Tairiku” program on Sunday evening.

Suzuki talked about the need for “big changes in all aspects of our operations.” One possibility he mentioned was a hiatus in the production department and taking what he described as a “short break” to assess the studio’s future.

He added that it “would be possible for us to keep making films indefinitely.”

So they're keeping all options open, and not shutting down. On the other hand, now that Miyazaki has retired, Studio Ghibli's movie grosses have shrunk a bit.

They'll go back to doing other people's work Steve, just like all the rest, it's the way the business works.

Not too many have realized they've been doing other studio's work for years at all, often ranging from in-between animation to backgrounds, photography and the like.
