- Another banger from Hayao Miyazaki & his team of incredible artists!
This video explores the significant impact of Miyazaki's latest film, especially in the context of Disney's centennial celebration of animation. I delve into why "The Boy and the Heron" stands out in the realm of hand-drawn animation, challenging the current trends dominated by 3D animation. This analysis not only highlights Miyazaki's unique approach to storytelling and animation but also questions Disney's strategic decisions in abandoning traditional 2D animation techniques.
My discussion extends beyond just comparing Studio Ghibli and Disney; it delves into the broader implications of these choices on the animation industry. I examine the historical context of Disney's shift from 2D to 3D animation, the rise of photorealistic animation, and the growing trend towards simplification in mainstream animated films. This video offers a critical perspective on the evolution of animation, drawing parallels between the thematic depth of Miyazaki's work and the perceived stagnation in contemporary animation styles. By analyzing "The Boy and the Heron," I uncover the timeless appeal of hand-drawn animation and its ability to convey profound, multi-layered narratives. This video is a must-watch for animation enthusiasts and anyone interested in the artistic and cultural significance of animated films in shaping our understanding of storytelling.

I'm producing a spatial animation for VR, and it's basically Miyazaki + Film Noir + robots. It's called New Venice, and if you're interested you can check out the launch video for this project here! --> czcams.com/video/e4F4NTiVlAM/video.html
Guess what, Boy and the Heron won its well deserved Oscar
I’d love to work audio for you! I actually work in 3D/ immersive audio programming and design.
Black Spider-Man is good but Arcane was given more rewards and praise
Hello, Ghibli has used 3D tools in some of their works. From that interview it seemed that an AI that can Draw is what deeply disappointed Myazaki. I believe the way this vedio frames this is misleading.
@@SOLO.DANDELION *video, not “vedio”
I wonder what will happen to Ghibli after Miyazaki has passed on...the world of cinema needs the continued existence of Ghibli.
Hot take perhaps but I don’t think so. Cinema needs creators and visionaries, not their companies. Miyazaki’s legacy will outlast him for centuries perhaps, but what I’m more intrigued by are the next generation of animators, possibly inspired by this movie, and what they choose to create
Probably the same thing that happened to Disney
It'll probably does which is better than a Disney situation where they molest the corpse and make garbage
@@samsturdi That's almost too sad to consider :(
@@samsturdiI think otherwise. Ghibli has stepped into 3D before and it failed miserably. If things go on and they want to try 3D again, I think there will be separated into two branches: one with focus on 2D and one with 3D. Also, 2D is still very relevant to Japan so there’s not a really big push to rush into 3D.
"The movie is done when the movie is done". I wish all studios lived by this.
Sadly 99% can't be allowed to follow this.
Miyazaki can cause he's a super big name and mega star with a reputation for quality.
Everybody else must listen to executives, investors and business people who say "we want profit NOW".
Mappa be like to their animators: "Your work is done when you can see your families again, which is never lol."
for a perfectionist, that already means a lot
Besides Miyazaki, the only other movie director I can think of that is allowed the freedom to take his precious time and release his movie whenever he feels that it’s ready is James Cameron, with his “Avatar” sequels.
@@magnusm4agreed. A lot of the reason why they don’t want 2D is that they can’t edit the movie and make abrupt changes. Ignoring that Pixar essentially makes movies the old way where stories are mostly finished before the animation starts
Gosh...Miyazaki would probably be so mad to be called the "Walt Disney of Japan" lol
Some people are not capable of understanding a concept unless it is compared to something they’re already familiar with. Yeah it’s a cringe way to introduce him but if it’s what gets someone genuinely interested in Miyazaki’s works and opens up a new world for this person, I’d say let it be
that title goes to Tezuka
I feel like you have twisted Miyazaki's words a tad bit here at minute 6:24 . No, he has not decried 3D animation as a whole, but rather the lazy use of said 3D animation. Keep in mind that the very first project he worked on right after he came out of retirement was a CGI animated short film called "Boro the Caterpillar." This demonstrates that he sees value in CGI, but simply feels more comfortable with 2D animation.
O Yes!!! This need to be said more.
There is no reason to hate 3d animation, but just the short sighted and lazy perspective of it. That it would grab everyone's attention and the company will get all the customer money. NO!!!! 3d animation is another form of art. The artists still need to make a great story to combine it with 3d, to make everything shine. Otherwise, we are just left with Pretty looking pixels, nothing more
this video overall is weird
@@Farhan-RizulExactly. 3D is incredibly hard if you need to animate things like strands of hair and fur. There's a reason Nanaki/Red XIII was only a cameo in FFVII Advent Children.
@@Farhan-Rizul Nah 3D sucks it's makes people lazy. It's really bad in the artist community the hilarious part to me is those same "artists" complain about AI. Can't get mad if AI makes better works than them. People need to go back to the fundamentals again and not rely on blender, maya, etc. I like Miyazaki's work because he's not married to 3D like the west. Some 3D can supplement 2D in some aspects but nothing beats 2D imo.
@@grimsonforce7504 i also have a 2d preference, but you have clearly never tried to animate or model in 3d before if you think it's easy lol. 2d and 3d are just different skillsets, both can look bad/cheap if the artist is unskilled
Miyazaki is less the Disney of Japan, and more the Spielberg of anime.
And Takahata is the Kubrick of anime.
Spielberg is not a good director.
You'd be surprised to learn about Miyazaki's opinion on Spielberg movies
@@matthieuwojcik6609 Yeah. Ironically, he is close friends with Kathleen Kennedy.
@@tomg9550That one has to be the worst hot take i had ever read...
@@arkestudios I bet you would prefer a hot dog. Spielberg is cinematic fast food.
Congratulations to the Boy and the Heron for winning the Oscar!
Proof that they give out Oscars for reputation alone because TBATH was shit, not a true ghibli movie.
Although it doesn't change much his stance on the use of certain technologies, the "I feel this is an insult to life itself" quote is taken out of context. He was shown an animation of a "monster" that reminded him of a dear friend of his who is disabled, and that is what he found truly insulting, taking the characteristics of disabled people and making them monstrous.
Miyazaki is not the Walt Disney of japan, hes the Hayao Miyazaki of the world.
Hiyao Miyazaki had more of an impact on my childhood than Disney did. While I liked some Disney stuff and compulsively watched films like Mulan and Pocahontas, those were really some of the only Disney films I liked. Hiyao Miyazaki transported me, as a child, into a world of magic, while creating a solid but slightly fluid storyline my parents could follow. When I grew old enough to understand, I began to enjoy the storyline too. Especially Ponyo, Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, and more. Studio Ghibli in general encompassed my childhood, including Grave of the Fireflies, the Secret Life of Arrietty, Whisper of the Heart, the Cat Returns, When Marnie Was There, and Ocean Waves. The works of the studio and many of Miyazaki’s were inspiring and brought me to a happy place.
Yup! Even as a kid I gravitated towards the more adult nature of Ghibli's films. They have substance that Disney lacks. They're amazing, beatiful, full of meaning and filled with magic, that isn't just a fairy tale. Disney is mostly just pure entertainment with some simplistic morals slapped on top. It isn't bad, and Disney's movies can still be a joy to watch but uhhhh. Yeah.
@@antares3030, Agreed. Ghibli films were just so much better written than Disney movies. They had more depth and room for deep thinking/ feeling.
Same Miyazaki inspired me to become a artist and writer
Me too
same same
This film is now an Oscar-winning film as this is the second win for Hayao Miyazaki since “Spirited Away”!
Imagine comparing this trash film to a god tier film like Spirited Away.
I heard a rumor that in Wish there's a scene when King Magnifico rides a horse, they did not knew how to animate a horse running so only king Magnifico and half of the horse body can be seen in the scene. Besides, the director said that 2D was too hard to animate, thats why they prefer 3D.
I've never thought I would see a day where a Disney left 2D behind for being to hard to deal with.
that's what happens if you hire based on diversity rather than talent. many of the best animators are reclusive male nerds yet they'd be rejected over some women quota. (I'm a woman btw and love 2D drawing myself.) This is the harsh truth.
This is obviously false. Yes animating a horse can be difficult, but all you need is some time and to study some reference and you are fine. Disney still has plenty of genuine talent in their studio.
I mean the main animal companion is a goat for pete's sake, that rumor is absurd on so many levels
@NoctLightCloud No, this is what happens when you shut down studios, fire animators, and time crunch for corporate shareholders. I know it’s cool and hip to call anything with minorities ‘woke’ these days but can we please maintain some semblance of logic
@@imjustJordie-jj1fe logic when you force companies to hire based on race or gender rather than talent? I refuse to accept such a way of thinking. If a Japanese is better for the job, hire them. No need to artificially "diversify".
@@NoctLightCloudMerit-based will always be better than fulfilling a diversity quota. If they're not good at the job, don't hire them.
One of the reasons I'm passionate about animation is the essentially unlimited avenues you have for storytelling. Regardless of it being 2D or 3D. You can have gorgeous animation, but a boring story, or sub-par animation with an amazing story. One of the many reasons I'm pursuing animation
Thanks for the video, dude :)
Exactly! It’s not about the exact medium necessarily, but about what kinds of stories you can tell. 2D is just as valid as 3D and I wish (American) animation studios understood that. Glad you feel the same way about animation!🤘
I think Wolfwalkers in 2020 proved that 2D animation isn’t dead. I just wish it got a theatrical release I would’ve loved to see in in cinemas
One of my favourite movie ever! This inspired me into making a 40 second animation for my final project for college in visual art.
I was lucky that there was a dip in lockdown restrictions here in the UK when wolfwalkers came out, and I got to see it in the cinema. It was brilliant.
Compared to the fellow-2010s Zarafa the Giraffe, Long Way North and April & The Extra Ordinary World then Mebh and Robyn absolutely made the cut to celebrity status.
@@blackbird3456 Fun Fact:The Xeroxed animation of One Hundred and One Dalmatians was the inspiration for the film's art.
@@orangeslash1667 That’s cool! I didn’t know that!
As much as I love Ghibli, I have to say that there are other Japanese animation studios that have caught upto to them and absolutely embarrasses current Disney. On the top of my head I can point out to the movies made at Madhouse like Redline, every Satoshi Kon movies, Studio Bones with their Sword of the Stranger (has the best 2d animated action scene in ALL of cinema.), Studio Trigger and their movie called Promare, Kyoto Animation with their movies such as A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird etc.
2D animation is very much alive and there are studios that are capable of carrying Miyazaki's legacy. Many of his students/subordinates are major creatives in the studios I mentioned above.
I definitely wouldn't say any of those studios have caught up to ghibli. Like the sheer amount of fantastic films made under ghibli is comparable to all those studios you mentioned combined.
Satoshi Kon under madhouse is a good point but still not comparable.
@@ben99ny69dude I would honestly say that something like tatami galaxy which is only 11 episodes long so like a 3 hour movie imo is far better than any ghibli movie ever made. Ghibli has beautiful animation and some great stories but I don’t think that any of there stories have ever been just truly spectacular. And for a movie example I do much prefer satoshi kon to Miyazaki myself even if yes he has made far more great movies. In terms of anime fans for the most part studio Ghibli I don’t think is held in as high regard as just general movie fans though I have no idea the reason for that other than most anime fans preferring shows. I also just absolutely loath there adaptation of earth sea so maybe I’m bias 😂
I consider Miyasaki a master but i prefer Satoshi Kon's vision and even animation style. He left us way too soon.. 😢
Been getting tired of seeing people say that 2D is dying 😞 Look at all the animated films from all other parts of the globe and you'll see that it's very much alive and continues to make masterpieces. I can't even count the amount of amazing films from different Japanese animation studios alone.
@@danielgwynne7266 watched the Tatami Galaxy huh? Well at least someone has taste. Have you watched Life is Short Walk on Girl? Also, I think Kaiba is Yuuasa's best work.
I don’t care if an animated film is animated in 2D, 3D, CGI, Stop Motion etc. as long as the story and characters are well written.
FACTS
I... actually care. When I see 2D I immidiately have more respect just for animation alone. Well, if it looks good I mean. Not every 2D animation is beautiful of course. But there's not a single 3D animated movie that made me say "THIS LOOKS STUNNING". Well, maybe only Spider-verse movies but it's more for the creativity than for the picture itself (also they try to make animation look kinda sketchy and 2D-ish so it also helps)
I don't know what but something in 2D animation makes it so alive, so lovely, so magical... I don't know how to put my feelings into words.
And the art and music is good.
@@olgabutorina4156
Arcane? Argument aside, I think there is a charm in seeing well animated 2D like the entirety of The Boy and the Heron with lifelike 2D animation so realistic you can't tell if it's 3D animation or 2D. Of course 2D won't last forever but I'm glad it's still being made in this day and age.
The fact that the best animated picture nominees this year are all, apart from elemental, far and away some of the most stylized, creative, and complex animations this year not only in terms of animation but storytelling compared to Disney’s output in the animation department is extremely telling in the direction that audiences and critics want animation to move in.
Traditional animation was never dead, and it never will be.
It did. It won the Oscar
Ghibli films made by Miyazaki are the epitome of "Let bro cook".
Interesting how Disney is a business dependent on Art and they seem to have forgotten that. They completely miss the point when they impose what they think the consumer wants on their creative group when what made them big is exactly letting creativity flow and produce incredible things
Disney seems to belive they're too big to truly fail, and maybe they're right, but only time will tell, and ppl seem to be more and more fed up with the mouse so we'll see if they hold as much power in 10 years as they do now.
In the documentary ‘Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki’, he dislikes an AI animation (the strange video zombie) but he tried to use CGI for his new short film ‘Boro, the caterpillar’. So I don’t think he doesn’t like CGI, just he prefers 2D animation.
True. The problem begins when you completely detach from reality like those guys that showed him model of a zombie crawling by supporting his weight with his head. That is not how human anatomy looks like. Plus A.I doesn't have emotions. Therefore it ought to be a tool not a creator
Just got back from seeing Miyazaki win ANOTHER OSCAR!!!
Disney obviously didn't understand that another of the children that enjoyed their most successful films of the Renaissance, are the same adults who grew up watching anime. Animation of Japan is a thing all its own and we love it for that. It's not just the story alone but it's the attraction of the 2D world that pulls all it's elements together: animation, characters, story, world, and lore. ❤ Hayao Miyazaki will always be one of the greatest artists and storytellers of all time.
I like the point you're trying to make, but it is rather unlikely Hayao Miyazaki had the motive of "I'm going against a world of 3D with 2D" because, yes, there is a strong focus on 3D Animation currently IN THE WESTERN WORLD, but in East Asia, the grand number of animated pieces is made in 2D, only using CGI/3D as a tool to simplify or quicken the process but in general, the animation landscape of Japan, Korea and China is dominantly 2D, Ghibli is just "that" traditional in their approach, that they reject any kind of CGI and 3D as long as it is possible to achieve what they plan to portray
“cinematic sugar rush” THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT INTO WORDS
Great comment on the parallels between Disney 3D animation and Ghibli 2D animation. I think that saying Miyazaki came out of retirement to challenge the status quo of 3D animation is a far stretch, since 2D is the standard in Japan, and Miyazaki has implemented 3D and compositing into his films since princess mononoke, but with very subtle implementations. This new film is about himself. Nevertheless this Ghibli film feels like something made from another era, as Miyazaki ages and accepts the fact that his legacy might not continue the way he wanted, because Ghibli is very tied to himself.
I felt for a while, the world went through a phase where we did indeed look at 2d animation as outdated with the rise of 3d animation and incredible storytelling.
I think the oversaturated market of 3d animation has now stained itself as generic for most audiences as it's been done over and over. Most of us now understand the difficulties of 2d and 3d animation, but mainly that 3d animation has a much quicker process and includes technological shortcuts where 2d animation generally doesn't.
Films like spiderverse, puss in boots the last wish and TMNT mutant mayhem shows that people are now interested in artistic style that differentiates itself from the generic style of Disney's 3d animation.
I can't believe how safe they played it with Wish. It should have been the opportunity for something bold, fresh and exciting. Though, all we got was a run of the mill story with the exact same visuals they've been doing for the last year with a little bit of watercolour textures and outlines that honestly made it look more unfinished in my opinion. I didn't think it was a terrible film, I did find some enjoyment. But myself and my girlfriend both said we wouldn't be in any rush to watch it again and will likely forget about it as it's far too similar to all of their recent stuff.
I just hope that Disney will return to hand drawn for sure. And with the help of a few stories that are guaranteed to change their landscape forever.
Everyone has proved Disney wrong at some point, but that doesn’t mean they will ever care nor change
He won . Literally. Oscar goes to Miyazaki ❤️🥹
Society has common sense ❤
The message of the movie was so visceral to me as an aspiring animator. Especially with the recent development of AI generated video. We need faith in humanity now more than ever.
Studio Ghibli 2D Animation is always Timeless and it’s Clean and Colorful and life like.
"A project is done when it is done." Beautiful words.
A quick note you could've pointed out was the marketing for the film in Japan. I remember when it was first announced and during its initial release there were NO marketing materials or trailers aside from a simple poster and a title. Just the fact alone that it was a Miyazaki film carried so much more weight in Japan that people were curious about the film. We just don't have that in the US. The only directors I can think of who can pull it off is maybe Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg, or Walt Disney himself of he was still alive.
I find it interesting that when Disney projects are announced without a title, it’s always “Untitled Disney Animation” or “Untitled Pixar Animation”. It’s never “Untitled Pete Docter Animation”, or “Brad Bird”, or “Andrew Stanton”, or “John Musker and Ron Clements”.
Disney sells itself on its brand first and foremost, not its directors.
Miyazaki and Takahata have more talent in their little fingers than any at Disney 💥
Now that’s just rude, and probably false.
It probably is false, but its my opinion and its not rude@@quangamershyguyyz7166
@@quangamershyguyyz7166 that's not being rude. It's speaking facts considering what Disney has been producing for the last 5 years
Apart from his magic stories, the visuals on his films are beautiful using only old school 2D. It’s called ART, something that Disney has lost.
@@quangamershyguyyz7166Not really. Their downfall started with remake of Lion King that failed to portray animal emotions. It is not that they haven't made good movies coz Miraculous Ladybug was amazing (story starts progressing from 3rd season but message is awsome), Cruella was visually beautiful and it was a decent backstory for the villainess, Alladin was good although you can notice cheapness and fakeness of costumes, Encanto was amazing. But that would be it. From then nothing good
Miyazaki’s hostile comment about an “insult to life” were directed towards the AI generated simulations of lifelike behavior that he was presented with. He has been pretty favorable towards 3D animation in general and has suggested that his son has found success with it. He’s not interested in opposing 3D animation as such.
There should be a balance with it. Using Chat GPT to write scripts is lazy. At that point, you should write scripts if you can't write using the one tool you need, your mind.
I am a Japanese studying English, but I found it very interesting where I could understand. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could add Japanese subtitles.
Welp, Miyazaki's film won the Oscars for 2024
What a great video! Disney firing all 2D animators was such a horrible move and Boy And The Heron really proved that. 2D has something that very few 3D animated films have achieved
👍🏻
The difference between Disney and Ghibli is the difference between doing business and creating art.
Thank you for this awesome video No, it’s was so great and I’m excited for the opportunity to see this new Ghibli masterpiece!
Another fantastic video. I share a lot of the sentiments you echoed here. Miyazaki is an unmatched master
I really enjoyed your video! The background music was distracting though-you have such valuable things to say and I feel that they could hold my attention on their own
I don’t think any creator should be pursuaded that when one tool is chosen the others should be discarded. 2D or 3D, it’s the story that interests me. I think it was the content of that zombie rendering that repulsed Miyazaki. He explained that he had a friend with a muscle degeneration and I think he found WHAT they animated inconsiderate and insulting, rather than declaring the 3D and computer animation technologies stupid: quite the opposite, actually. I think he has always considered them a useful tool in moderation and something to be developed further for the future. As you know, since Howl’s Moving Castle, he has used digital retouching and enhancements in his movies. He probably always struggled with balancing the quality of his hand-drawn movies with the financing and paying his employees fairly. I think he thought computers could aid in this regard. That said, I like your interpretation that connects the 2D movie to letting go of a desire to control the animation industry.
Just came across your channel. You are a legend!
Thank you for that considération. But its not only Miyazaki! Its the whole japanese anime-tradition with current names as Mamoru Hosada, Naoko Yamada or Makoto Shinkai etc. They are all made basicly drawn 2D (but helped by 3D-in the backgound). Look at "Belle", "A Silent Voice" or "Your Name".
Glad to see Miyazaki kind of got back into his elements ^ ^
This aged super well, considering BatH beat Disney at the Oscars
Not bad, eh?
6:30 In that particular case, it's not that they brought a 3D tool that angered him, it's because they made an animation of a humanoid "monster" that walks with its head and shoulder. Miyazaki said that he has a friend who had a cerebral palsy who could not even lift his hand to high-five. The fact that the studio thought to make a human who could not walk "normally" into a monster in a horror game was insulting to life itself, he said.
Ponyo really introduced me to animated Japanese films and eventually anime, I really honor Miyazaki
Hopefully Disney will eventually give in and both bring back 2D traditional animation and use other animation styles besides only CGI such as 2.5D (the hybrid animation the Spider-Verse uses) and claymation/stop-motion once in a while
He's a far better man than Walt

Thank you!! I’m excited about it✌️
I think a good example of animation that is absolutely for an adult audience is movies by Ralph Bakshi. His movies are raunchy, with very adult topics, but they're fun to look at because he pushes what 2d animation can do.
Hey NO! Have you seen a pixar short film called Smash and Grab, it's about two robot that are friends that fight for their freedom on a futuristic world, it's on disney plus, and the concept amd animation are super cool, I would love it if pixar made a whole move about it, way better than elemental.

i wanna add another thing why these Ghibli movies are just that good. The animation is top notch. like some of their movies are from the 80's and they look like they could be made in the modern day. it is pretty crazy to just think of how well of their major movies still look that good. One of my favorite of these Ghibli movies are "Spirited away" and "the living castle". As both these movies are just filled with a message i vibe with in some way it makes me feel something in the pit of my chest. a strange emotion i just can't discribe
Studio Ghibli is my favorite studio of all time. I've cried in more of their films than any Western animation or Pixar. Pixar is overrated IMO.
Saying Ghibli is Japans Disney is an insult. The fact that Disney is starting to incorporate AI on their franchise.
It's cheaper and cost less for them. At least Miyazaki cares and creates a hand-drawn masterpiece straight from the heart. That's something in a world where the easy way out makes some of the worst films ever. I'm referring to Chat GPT and AI.
@@AntThePianoManEspecially when it comes to remakes.
If Miyazaki found out you compared him to Walt Disney, nobody would find your body
Great talk, thank you!
I really like Miyazaki's animation for decades now but I hate the fact that every character in his movies look like every other character in his other movies. The same face for the same role pretty much every time. I am convinced now, he can not draw any other face for those characters anymore.
Don’t fix what ain’t broken. Anime studios work on a budget of 2 noodle packs so they’re cutting corners where they can. Drawing same face with different hair isn’t any artistic choice or shortcoming of the creators, it’s just literally faster and cheaper. I thought it was common knowledge huh
this might have more to that those characters are written and drawn to be Japanese, tell me would be able to stand in the middle of Tokyo and be able to tell one person from another? to any Japanese person this characters probably look very different from one another.
u hit it on the nose every time man 👏🏻👏🏻
Weeeeee thanks Mira!! ✌
3:25 You really got me there lmao
speaking of Japanese animation, I really feel you should check out the 2017 anime "Land of the Lustrous/Houseki No Kuni", a fully 3D made anime that was made at the peak of the time when 3D in anime was shunned upon, which I recall reading that it went on to inspire certain animation scenes in some form for Into the Spider-Verse, and then the animation studio in 2023 released Trigun: Stampede that went even further in improving the animation
Were I in Miyazaki's seat, I'd commission a low-res 3D for an assist to animators with pencils.
In all fairness, Walt Disney himself was always pushing the envelope and trying new technologies.
First sound animation
First color animation
First feature length animation
First surround sound
I think he would have gone all in on 3D animation
If he was still alive today, he'd be throwing tantrums over how bad and lazy his corporation has gotten.
@@MrBrineplays_ that is very true
"The Boy and the Heron," did indeed win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and I look forward to seeing it for myself.
The world is slowly changing it's view on animation finally.
At 6:44 It's not just because it's 3D, but because they were glorifying the sick and twisted idea that someone would want to see an ugly dying body in a hyperealistic state of being such as a zombie. If they wanted to not be gross and truly do something hyperealisic they would have done something beautiful like nature. That's what Miyazaki ment. If they did something like flowers or a tree I think he would have been more on board with the idea of 3D.
I was reintroduced into the beauty of animation by Castlevania on Netflix. It's bloody and dark, but also beautiful. There was more nuance in every frame of that show than any animation I've seen lately, save for a few outliers.
The movie won a Golden Globe award, so there could be a chance for the movie to win an Oscar too. I for one hope it dose, Miyazaki won an Oscar for Spirited Away, he deserves another.
He won

@@dreamguardian8320Yeah, but Bluth stopped making films and filed for bankruptcy. Ghibli might just stop altogether as the big three that founded it are just 2 and it's Suzuki and Miyazaki.

@@AntThePianoMan Just like it won't be the same without Akira Toriyama.

Agree with all of that. I've cried in more of his films than Disney. I'm a Disney guy but I realize how much they ripped off from Miyazaki and how he does it better. I don't trust Disney anymore.
One fool on IG somewhere says the Boy and Heron is a terrible film and nearly everyone liked and agreed with him, smh.
Never thought 2D was Dead !
So this on day 1 then saw it again a week later, it was a beautiful movie. Only other movie I did this for was Kubo and the Two Strings. Movies like this that take skilled artists and writers are the only reason I go to the movies.
Ghibli ❤
I just think disney should keed the 2D animation
i saw this when it first came out and i was extremely happy ecstatic and joyous when finally a japanese animation won for miyazaki even though its the second one lets look at howls magic castle which was another magical movie🙂🙂🙂🙂
Disney don't have the creativity that hayao Miyazaki has, even if they made 2d cartoon, they couldn't hope to match Miyazaki's unrivalled art.
100% correct. I cry more and get shocked by the level of artistry and had drawn painted beauty of Studio Ghibli. Everything Miyazaki touches feels distinctively and entirely human. His stories and characters feel entirely human and real to me. The struggles are real and the process.of creating these films takes longer than CGI animation.
“The purpose of art is not to compare art to another of art”
I almost fell out of my chair laughing 😂

I still don't knoe why, instead of showing him literally anything else like those AI generated dream world looking landscapes, they chose the unnatural movement zombie
