Despite winning an Oscar in 2003 for "Spirited Away," Japan's Studio Ghibli and its generally excellent work often goes unnoticed by the film-going population stateside.

Hayao Miyazaki, one of the founders of Studio Ghibli, is an unquestionable film legend, having proven his mastery of animation with top films such as "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke."

The studio's latest release, "From Up on Poppy Hill," coming out Friday, is written by Hayao Miyazaki, and is directed by his son, Goro. It follows a high school girl and her pals in 1960s Japan who are trying to save their clubhouse.
