Did you know

• Studio Ghibli sent Michael Dudok de Wit an email with two questions: if they could distribute his short film Father and Daughter (2000) in Japan, and if he would make a feature film for them. Dudok de Wit replied answering the first question and saying he did not understand the second, as he was baffled and could not believe it.

• This is Studio Ghibli first international co-production.

• Only six animators from Studio Ghibli worked on this film.
