I just thought I’d share a link to a post by Alec Nevala-Lee who takes a look at Hayao Miyazaki and how his films are fundamentally different from anything put out by a regular studio and why he will be extremely difficult to replace. It’s well worth a read.

Woops, I almost forgot about this in my quest for tomorrow’s topic, but today is the birthday of the one and only Hayao Miyazaki, whose now 70 years young!
All I can say is that I love this guy’s films. After catching a few on Cartoon Network some years back, it was love at first sight. He’s by far one of the best animation directors alive and his film Spirited Away is perhaps my most favourite of all. On top of all that, he’s served as an inspiration for countless animators on both sides of the Pacific for which he is rightly acknowledged for through his friend, John Lasseter.
Happy Birthday to Mr. Miyazaki! Read More »
