FILM 1224: GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES
TRIVIA: Isao Takahata was the only
living animator involved on the project who had survived bomb blasts.
The fruit drops that Setsuko eats
were made by the Sakuma Confectionary Company, which in real life was
established in 1949 (four years after the events in this movie took place). A
few years ago, Sakuma released limited edition tin cans that resembled the one
seen in the movie. Some variations of these tins also had a picture of Setsuko
looking through her tin for the last drop.
This is the only Ghibili theatrical
feature film to not be part of the Disney-Tokuma deal.
