Rumors about the closure of acclaimed Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli shutting down, spurred by a translated news report of an announcement by GM Toshio Suzuki, were somewhat clarified over the weekend. The translation was posted on an unofficial Ghibli fan blog, and Variety followed up to find that the report was either exaggerated or badly translated. Suzuki, who has been with the studio since 1990, referred to the need for changes in operations and discussed taking a break from production to develop a plan for Ghibli going forward.
