Editorial Policy

Last updated: 24 July 2026

StudioGhibliMovies.com is an independent fan publication covering Studio Ghibli films, characters, themes, viewing guides, rankings, news, and related recommendations. This policy explains how we aim to earn and keep reader trust.

Editorial independence

Our editorial choices are based on reader usefulness, relevance, source quality, and genuine interest in Studio Ghibli. Rights holders, streaming services, retailers, advertisers, and affiliate partners do not control our conclusions or rankings. Sponsored or affiliate relationships will be disclosed where relevant.

Research and sources

We prefer primary and official sources for factual claims, including official Studio Ghibli announcements, film materials, distributors, streaming providers, and recognised press sources. Commentary and interpretation are clearly editorial in nature. We aim to distinguish confirmed facts from opinion, fan interpretation, and speculation.

Recommendations and rankings

Rankings and recommendations are subjective, but should explain their reasoning and help readers make a useful choice. Commercial relationships should not determine whether a film, product, or service is included or how it is ranked.

Corrections

We correct meaningful factual errors when they are identified. If you spot an error, missing source, broken link, or outdated availability detail, send the page URL and supporting information through our Contact page. Material corrections may be noted within the affected article where appropriate.

AI and digital tools

Digital tools may support research, drafting, fact-checking, image preparation, publishing, and site operations. They do not remove the need for editorial judgement, source checks, original writing, or corrections. Generated imagery, when used, should not be presented as official Studio Ghibli artwork.

Images and intellectual property

We aim to use supplied, official, licensed, credited, embedded, or otherwise appropriate editorial media. Studio Ghibli and third-party intellectual property remains the property of its respective owners. Rights or credit concerns can be submitted through our Contact page.
