Paris: Legendary Japanese animators Studio Ghibli will receive an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May, organisers announced on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning studio, co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki 40 years ago, is beloved worldwide for its masterpieces like "Spirited Away", "My Neighbour Totoro" and "Howl's Moving Castle".
It will mark the first that that Cannes gives an award to a collective, rather than an individual.
Miyazaki makes few public appearances and his long-time collaborator Isao Takahata died in 2018.
The other founder, producer Toshio Suzuki, said he was "truly honoured and delighted" to be receiving the award.
