Along with the release of the collection, there will be something fun for Studio Ghibli fans of all ages at a series of special events. A film festival commemorating the collection with free screenings of six Studio Ghibli films will start at the Golden Village cinema at Bugis+ in Singapore from August 17. For a limited time, Bugis+ will also host a stamp rally, feature photo spots with famous scenes from “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Spirited Away”, and display large models of such popular characters as Totoro and Ponyo. Some Southeast Asian stores will additionally offer kids opportunities to sketch one of Ghibli’s iconic Dust Bunny characters and add them to an art wall, and take part in Ghibli’s Hide & Seek games.
