Miyazaki Prepares Next Animation Classic
Let's face it: When the director of "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke," and a whole bunch of other brilliant pieces of animation announces that he's about to start a new project ... it's pretty exciting news. So here it is...
From Variety: "Hayao Miyazaki has started production on his latest as-yet-untitled toon, according to Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli. Release is skedded for summer 2008 -- four years after the bow of his last feature, 2004's "Howl's Moving Castle," which grossed $170 million in Japan alone.
Studio Ghibli, which has produced every Miyazaki toon since 1985, is releasing only the odd tidbit about the new pic, such as the July excursion of Miyazaki and his main staff to scout locations in Kobe, a port on Japan's Inland Sea, and Miyazaki's use of watercolors for his storyboards -- a departure from his B&W norm."

on Oct 03 2006 06:18 AM I haven't seen "Howl's" yet, but "Princess Mononoke" is probably my all-time favorite animated movie. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 03 2006 09:31 AM In reply to this comment (#845610) "Howl's" is worth seeing if your a fan of Miyazaki, but it is definitly not on the level of "Mononoke" or "Spirited Away". It lacked the wonder of his previous films, as well as a good narrative. The visuals were well drawn, but were very obvious and on-the-nose, not that imaginative at all. The talking fireball was simply pathetic Myazaki is the greatest animator in the world, I hope his next film will be an improvement (Reply to this) |

on Oct 04 2006 05:42 AM Yes, as mentioned, every news about a new Miyazaki film is great. He keeps saying he'll stop and retire, but he always comes up with a new idea for another film. I loved Mononoke, for its immersion into the story and background. Spirited Away was a little too non-sensical for me, although very mesmerizing. (Reply to this) |
