Trivia
ADD TRIVIA-
Miyazaki once saw "Snezhnaya Koroleva", a Russian animation film directed by Lev Atamanov, at a time when he was unhappy about his job and wondering if he should continue working as an animator. Miyazaki was so moved by it, he "decided to continue working on animation with renewed determination". He says that he learned that characters in animation can act if they are animated well enough, and animation can move people as other media can do.
-
Miyazaki built a new studio, "Butaya" (Pig House), near Studio Ghibli as his "retirement place", in 1998.
-
Miyazaki says that having children really changed his work. He said he had always tried to make his anime to please his children while they were growing up.

ADD QUOTES-
Hayao Miyazaki: Personally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future. Because I can't tell that child, 'Oh, you shouldn't have come into this life.' And yet I know the world is heading in a bad direction. So with those conflicting thoughts in mind, I think about what kind of films I should be making.
-
Hayao Miyazaki: Well, yes. I believe that children's souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It's just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy.
-
Hayao Miyazaki: I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films. They became very conservative in the way they created them. It's too bad. I thought 2-D and 3-D could coexist happily.
