Man kann die schönen Exponate anschauen und entdecken, wie Animationsfilme entstehen. Nachdem man sich über den Filmprozess informiert hat, kann man die Vorführung von kurzen, musealen Filmen verfolgen. Die Kinder werden es lieben, im Plüschkatzenbus von Mein Nachbar Totoro zu spielen, und später kann man den Dachgarten besuchen, um die sieben Meter hohe Statue des Robotersoldaten von Laputa Castle in the Sky zu sehen. Man sollte das Ghibli-Museum besuchen, um mehr über ein ikonisches Animationsstudio zu erfahren.
