edit

The Hayao Miyazaki Web, an early and significant fan collective, argues that many of the animators working at Topcraft moved to the newly formed Studio Ghibli when Topcraft shuttered its feature film production studio mid-1985 (Team Ghiblink n.d.).

... (for more, see Clements and McCarthy 2006). ... Miyazaki co-founded his Studio Ghibli at the behest of Tokuma shoten in 1985 only after that initial film’s success (see Yoshioka, this collection).
