Studio Ghibli Distributor Champions ‘Princess Mononoke’ Box Office at ‘A Time When Technology Tries to Replicate Humanity’


Studio Ghibli distributor Gkids praises "Princess Mononoke" release over OpenAI

In a statement, Chase Huskey, VP of distribution for GKids, said, “In a time when technology tries to replicate humanity, we are thrilled that audiences value a theatrical experience that respects and celebrates Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece in all its cinematic hand-drawn glory.” The statement comes just one day after OpenAI launched its latest image generation technology, which quickly went viral as users started to apply the legendary studio’s style to their vacation snapshots and family portraits. In comments filed with the Trump administration ‘s Office of Science and Technology Policy earlier this month, more than 400 filmmakers, actors, musicians and others objected to what they said was lobbying by OpenAI and Google “for a special government exemption so they can freely exploit America’s creative and knowledge industries.”
