"Night in the Valley of Witches" (Majo no Tani no Yoru) is an exclusive, 14-minute animated short film produced by Studio Ghibli that premiered on July 8, 2026, at Ghibli Park in Aichi, Japan. Co-directed by Gorō Miyazaki and Akihiko Yamashita, the short follows a new park employee whose after-hours chores spiral into magical chaos as iconic structures from the park's real-life "Valley of Witches" area—such as Howl's Castle and Kiki's Guchoki Bakery—come to life. The film is accompanied by an exhibition of handcrafted panorama boxes designed by Hayao Miyazaki and can only be viewed in person at the park's Cinema Orion located inside Ghibli's Grand Warehouse.
