This website is a result of "Data Lovers Project", idealized and proposed by Laboratoria's Bootcamp. There were some themes available to treat data, like League of Legends, Pokémon, Rick and Morty and Studio Ghibli. We, the developers of Studio Ghibli Catallogue, both love the animations produced by Studio Ghibli, so the choice was easy for us. Our intention is to bring a easy and fast way to consult and access the main information about movies and its characters developed by Studio Ghibli, like release date, director's name and name and age of our beloved characters, like Totoro. We really hope that you like the experience of use our project website. If you have any feedback, suggestions and ideas, please contact us, we will be happy to hear and think together to enhance its performance.
