It has subsequently produced many of the most popular and acclaimed anime of the last 20 years, including My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Miyazaki's next film, Spirited Away, was the first anime to win a Best Feature Animation Oscar.
The studio became fully independent from Tokuma once more in 2005.
