Piyopiyo Baba
A bewilderingly surreal microshort where Yubaba—the witch from Spirited Away—becomes the star of a beautifully pointless visual gag. The kind of thing that gets a laugh from sheer weirdness rather than clever design.
Ideal if you're looking for peek into the delightfully weird experiments that only Studio Ghibli would dare to attempt.
Part of a series of animated short films shown at the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka called "Film Guru Guru" . Yubaba, a character from Spirited Away, returns in this short. She turns to the front, opens her mouth and laughs, and when she turns 180 degrees and turns backward, a small bird comes out of her hair and screams. When the little bird retracts into her hair, Yubaba turns 180 degrees again, turns to the front, and laughs once more.
