Studio Ghibli and magazine Animage has had a close relationship and regularly runs exclusive articles about the studio and its members in a section titled "Ghibli Notes." On the cover of the magazine, all the artwork from Ghibli's films and other works are frequently featured.
In October 2001, the Ghibli Museum opened in Tokyo. All the exhibits based on Studio Ghibli films and shows animations, including a number of short Studio Ghibli films not available elsewhere are all display in there.
When they're licensing their films abroad, they have a very strict policy in "no-edits" that is well-known for the company. When "Nausicaä of the Valley of they Wind" was released in the America in dub, it was called the "Warriors of the Wind". The film was heavily edited and Americanized, with significant portions cut and the plot rewritten. The "no cuts" policy was highlighted when Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein suggested editing Princess Mononoke to make it more marketable. However, The Studio Ghibli producer respond by sending a katana with a simple message: "No-cuts".
