Studio Ghibli has a no-cuts policy
With all of the love and care that Studio Ghibli puts into their films, it makes sense that they wouldn’t want anyone chopping up their works in the editing room. However, the studio’s “No Cuts” policy wasn’t in place initially. In fact, the first Western adaptation of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was heavily edited, with many characters and scenes removed entirely. They even marketed it as an entirely different genre of film. Because of this, when Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein wanted to edit Princess Mononoke to better suit an American audience, Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki sent him a katana with the message “No cuts.” etched into the blade.
