said that his films truly have “universal appeal”.
Miyazaki does not believe in doing the same things twice. Each subsequent film of his introduces a unique theme. His plots are hardly redundant, his characters never cardboard. He refuses to put out shoddy work. He abstains from targeting a specific demographic. Perhaps most of all, he is not a minimalist. The above makes him a preserver of originality.
(Thanks to imdb.com, www.midnighteye.com, toonzone.net, film.guardian.co.uk /lff2001/news/0, 1555,604658,00.html, and finally google.com. They have all provided invaluable material on these animators, who changed our perspective on things and perhaps, life.)
