It was a beautiful sunny morning when I found a piece of paper in my post box with a note that some package is waiting for me in a post office. There was no mention about the origin of the package, nor sender details.

So I walked to a post office to figure out what it’s all about.
Post-office worker looked at the piece of paper and gave me a long box. Imagine my amazement, when I looked at the box and found “Studio Ghibli” label on it. The package was sent by maintainer of OpenToonz Shun Iwasawa – he is working at “Studio Ghibli” at this time.

I took the package to our studio and unpacked it together with all students who attending our animation workshops.
The box was heavily packed with souvenirs from Studio Ghibli!

I really love Morevna Proyect!, open source, the next generation of animators are such a nice splash of fresh water, the smiles and emotions are simply overwhelming to me, as an older animator, congrats!
