I find it amazing that he incorporates his backstory of the war and his love for flying and airplanes into his works. I am a huge anime and manga fan, but a lot of people see shows like Naruto and One Piece as Japanese and interesting to watch, but not really "american". Anime is loved because it is seen as different. A lot of miyazaki films though are accepted in the US. the movie Ponyo and The Secret World of Arriety were played in movie theatres in the US much like a Disney film and they were accepted. His classics such as Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke are all names that most people have seen or at the very least heard and they are loved in every age range. his art style is amazing and so distinctly his now. I want to go watch Spirited Away now! I heard he came out of retirement to create one last movie that will be coming out soon!Lele10814https://www.blogger.com/profile/02939843498599291488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-2624238807827798332017-02-21T10:55:51.842-08:002017-02-21T10:55:51.842-08:00Miyazaki is certainly an innovator in his field.

It's also interesting to look at how he is influencing animators and designers outside of his context. Just as many of our eminent creatives like Gandhi influenced mass movements of nonviolence, it seems that Miyazaki and the Studio Ghibli brand are also influencing non-Japanese and non-Asian filmmakers. I think it would be worthwhile to explore how contemporary animators find inspiration in Miyazaki's films.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858426010515147808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-33492851170868320812017-02-18T11:08:35.811-08:002017-02-18T11:08:35.811-08:00This is so cool!

I knew about some of his movies, like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away but I just never knew much about his desire to showcase his ideas about war and conflict.Samantha Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066263741959211591noreply@blogger.com
