H

HAYAO MIYAZAKI• Co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a

film and animation studio.• Born in Bunkyo Tokyo,

Miyazaki • Began his animation career in

1963, when he joined Toei Animation.

• Famous Artwork: Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Howl’s Moving Castle

I'm not going to make movies that tell children, “You should despair and run away.” I would like to make a film to tell children "it's good to be alive".

QUOTATION

• Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

• We live in an age when it is cheaper to buy the rights to movies than to make them.• But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for

making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.• At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors

waving swords around as well, but the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these.

• I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners.

THE END

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
