As previously reported, Studio Ghibli is doing a long-form adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones’ novel Earwig and the Witch. Here is a first look at what the full CG adaptation will look like.
The following screenshots were published by Comic Natalie.
Titled Aya to Majo (Aya and the Witch), the movie will air on NHK in Japan this winter. Hayao Miyazaki is overseeing the adaptation’s planning, while his son Goro, who helmed From Up On Poppy Hill, is directing. Toshio Suzuki is producing.
Previously, Hayao Miyazaki worked on a CG anime 14-minute short called Boro the Caterpillar. This adaptation is the studio’s first full-length CG animation.

I know I’ll have to give it a chance but this has none of the style and charm of all the other Ghibli films.
It’s different for sure, but apart from the 2nd picture which looks a bit generic.. the rest of the shots have heaps of character. Hopefully it looks better in motion
Ew.
Burn it with fire.
I hope that they are still in time to add some texture to skin surfaces to diminish the reflection and gloss, which currently makes them look too hard and plastic-y.
