Two Ghibli created shorts about the happenings in fictional animation studio, presumably based to some extent on their own. The first was aired during a TV special about Ghibli, the second shown in theatres alongside 'The Cat Returns'. Note that the animation studio in these shorts is not spelled ジブリ (hepburn: 'jiburi'), but ギブリ (hepburn: 'giburi'), so pronounced with the hard 'gi' of 'give' rather than the 'ji' of 'jigsaw' used for Ghibli.

Where it came from
The Ghiblies was produced in 2000 as a short-form experimental project for Japanese television. Created by Studio Ghibli, the film was designed to provide the studio's staff and animators with a creative outlet outside of their major feature-length productions. It serves as a humorous, self-referential look at the eccentric lives of the people working within the studio walls.
The short was directed by Yoshiyuki Momose, who utilized a distinct, minimalist aesthetic that differed significantly from the lush, detailed backgrounds typically associated with the studio’s main output. By blending realistic office scenarios with exaggerated, surreal characterizations, the film was intended as a lighthearted inside joke for fans of the studio's culture, eventually leading to a more widely released sequel, Ghiblies Episode 2, in 2002.
