As a curious fact, this category that awards animated films
was added to the gala 18 years ago and it is the first time that an anime film
takes the trophy. Another titanic achievement of the anime industry after
winning the Oscar award in 2001 with the film Spirited Away.
This is how Toshio Suzuki, co-founder of Ghibli
and who serves as producer of the film, was informed that the film was taken
the award.

In Japan, the film premiered on July 14, managing to sell
more than 100 million tickets and gross around $13.2 million in its first three
days at the box office. It ranked as the 71st highest-grossing film in Japanese
history and was the third most successful domestic film in 2023, amassing a
gross of 8.66 billion yen, around US$61.4 million.
