The film is 30 minutes long and consists primarily of Naohisa Inoue's fantasy paintings of the Iblard world. Studio Ghibli digitally animated portions of the paintings and integrated original elements into the scenery. There are 8 separate segments, each featuring a different painting or landscape and instrumental musical piece.
Music
The
original soundtrack for the film was composed byKiyonori Matsuo . The release of Iblard Jikan includes a bonus soundtrack CD with 8 tracks performed by Matsuo.Critical reception
Chris Beveridge of Anime on DVD noted that the film is quite calming and relaxing, and provides a great showcase of Ghibli "eye candy," but its appeal would likely be restricted to those seeking to complete their collection of Ghibli pieces due to its focus on "looking through the window" rather than telling an overarching story.
