Watch the colorful trailer for When Marnie Was There, Studio Ghibli's latest confection

Anime fans, take note: Studio Ghibli, the company that brought you whimsical films like Spirited Away and Ponyo, is set to deliver yet another dreamy animated movie. When Marnie Was There hits theaters stateside on May 22, and now we have a new trailer:
After the film was released in Japan last summer, longtime producer Toshio Suzuki said the Oscar-winning studio would be pausing production on new movies and downsizing its staff.
"What should Ghibli do?" Suzuki asked on a Japanese TV show. "Right about now, we will take a breather and think about what's next."
