		Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is one of the most famous and respected creators of anime, or Japanese animated films.
		Miyazaki's first film as a director was The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), a light adventure film based on Lupin III, an extensive Japanese TV series and movie franchise.
		Miyazaki was also influenced by his political background in the ANPO Hantai (see U.S.-Japan Security Treaty) and labor movements of the 1960s.

		Miyazaki is rather different from a lot of his contemporaries in anime, such as Mamoru Oshii ("Ghost in the Shell") and Katsuhiro Otomo ("Akira" and "Steamboy"), and, certainly, from the makers of shows like "Pokémon," "Digimon," and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" His characters don't have that big-eyed, anime look.
		Miyazaki seems to have definite feelings about the world today, in terms of technology and the environment and the effect they have on the way in which we perceive and live life.
		Miyazaki doesn't seem to have any problem with being perceived as a director who makes films primarily for children—he just thinks they should be sophisticated, good films in their own right.

	village voice > film > Mononoke maestro Hayao Miyazaki by Elisabeth Vincentelli
		Not content merely with character design, Miyazaki is also a director's director, an expert at pacing who knows when to speed up the action and when to sit back and contemplate light refracting in a stream or foliage rustling in the wind.
		Miyazaki is a keen observer of transitional moments, and most of his movies feature children or adolescents.
		Miyazaki may have the soul of an idealistic revolutionary, but his movies avoid the pitfalls of romanticism.

	Miyazaki
		Miyazaki settled for a photo-technician's course at a junior college and, after graduation in the spring of 1983, went to work at a printing plant owned by an acquaintance of his father.
		Miyazaki grabbed her by the throat and straddled her, holding her kicking body down with his weight as he strangled her.
		Miyazaki's parents, who visit once a week to replenish his supply of comics, shut down the _Akikawa Shimbun_, and went into hiding soon after their son's confessions were made public.

		Miyazaki took that character as the inspiration for his Princess Nausicaä, but their worlds could not be further apart.
		Underscoring the book's deep ecological messages, Miyazaki's Nausicaä is a passionate defender of the natural world, and her ability to commune with the creatures of the forest appears almost magical.
		Miyazaki is one of the master storytellers of all times, and this series may be one of his crowning achievements.

	Hayao Miyazaki @ Filmbug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hayao Miyazaki has forged his own unique style that transcends the limits of both ordinary animation and live-action with dramatic, action-packed narratives; viscerally naturalistic details, characters who evoke poignant emotions and a lyrical beauty that recalls the world of watercolor paintings and dreams.
		The film that first brought Miyazaki to international attention was the 1984 "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa)," an eco-fable about a young girl's struggle to survive in a poisoned world inhabited by warring tribes and giant mutant insects.
		Miyazaki is currently contemplating his next project, which may well become Ghibli's first of the twenty-first century.

	Intersections Review, Spirited Away by Miyazaki's Fantasy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In many ways, Miyazaki is chiefly interested in exploring the rites of passage of girls, a subject more frequently associated in western cinema as being the domain of male concerns.
		The post-industrial age for Miyazaki is tempered by a sense of loss, not so much of innocence, but of origin where the importance of space, place and context needs reinvigoration.
		Miyazaki's films are mostly quite literally journeys (Laputa: Castle of the Sky, Porco Rosso, Kiki, Totoro, Mononoke) which revel in depicting travel (particularly flight) yet simultaneously illustrate an internal, emotional voyage as much as the external exploration depicts familiar and alien terrains.

		Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli was set up in the wake of the film’s success, and much of the talent involved with the movie’s production became the founders of the studio.
		Miyazaki himself claims to be ignorant of the popularity and effects of his works outside Japan, and stated in a recent interview that "the films I am working on now will be even more difficult for non-Japanese to understand" (Miyazaki, Rough Cut).
		Miyazaki draws from a numerous and eclectic body of sources for the inspiration and references in Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind.

	Midnight Eye review: Howl's Moving Castle ('Hauru no Ugoku Shiro', 2004, Hayao MIYAZAKI)
		For more than a decade, the latest works of Ghibli's two main driving forces, Hayao Miyazaki and the oft-overlooked Isao Takahata, alongside their team of imaginative and highly-skilled animators, have taken the domestic box office by storm.
		This decision to break with Miyazaki's own storytelling tradition of using adolescent girls as protagonists may be an attempt to forestall some of the prurient conjecturing his works have received in some quarters, but these cute young audience identification figures, nevertheless, remain a crucial element of the appeal of his work.
		The constant shadow of war permeates the story, as it is through the mediations and interactions of these central characters, rather than that of the high up powers that engage in a power struggle way outside of the interests of the general citizens, that any possible solution looks set to be found.

	Hayao Miyazaki
		For most of his career, Miyazaki has been revered as an optimistic purveyor of family entertainment, a mildly eccentric flying buff who in his spare time draws watercolors of imaginary aircraft for aviation magazines.
		For the gleaming metal and glass surfaces of the "mecha" school, Miyazaki substituted the bulges and bristles, the drifting spores and spurting fluids, of natural phenomena.
		The meticulous detailing extends to the way Miyazaki's worlds are constructed, the way the pieces interlock---the plausibly offset stones in an ancient wall, the cottony clumping of leaves at the top of a tree.

		She went on to explain that Miyazaki's personal history has shaped his movies and led to their themes of parental loss and a struggle for liberation.
		Miyazaki's lead characters struggle with the loss of a parent because the filmmaker's mother, whom she described as woman with a stern side but a sense of fun, spent a long time hospitalized with spinal tuberculosis when Miyazaki was five years old and just starting school.
		Miyazaki was a union organizer at his first animation job, and took to leftist politics.

	Interview with Miyazaki
		MIYAZAKI: Yes, but looked at another way, a boring period can be seen as a time for building up the energy needed for the next leap; a time for staffers to build up frustration.
		MIYAZAKI: What I meant was that I discovered that my work was a product of a Japanese historical perspective and sense of nature, much more so than I myself had originally thought.
		However, despite the fact that Miyazaki subsequently declared to the Japanese (and, by extension, the world) press that Mononoke Hime may be his "last and greatest work," surely the greatest acclaim for this artist is yet to come, as the world outside Japan becomes more aware of his unique filmmaking genius.

	Castles in the Air - Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle touches the sublime. By David Edelstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Miyazaki's work is set in a nature that's positively saturated with spirits, and you can feel that animism in the animation itself—not just in the creatures that materialize out of the shadows, but in the waving of grass, the trees, even the bend of light.
		Miyazaki's latest film, Howl's Moving Castle (Walt Disney Pictures) is based on a novel by England's prolific fantasy writer Diana Wynne Jones, but the director has made the story his own: It features vividly detailed panoramas, creatures both ordinary and bizarre, and flabbergasting machines that carry the industrious heroine into another realm.
		Miyazaki is like a soulful cartographer of the soul, mapping our inner landscape, leaving us bedazzled.

	Slashdot \| Miyazaki Talks to the Guardian
		Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli were so pissed off that they asked fans to forget the existence of the film and adopted a strict "no edits" clause for any future foreign licensing deals.
		Miyazaki's films are great because he first of treats them as films and not simply as "anime" (or "animation", which is all that word means in Japan), and second of all because he understands what filmmaking is really all about.
		`Miyazaki came in person, carrying with him a tape of the film, an interpreter and sundry other shadowy figures (all this was supposed to be secret for fear of the Japanese media, who then descended on me afterwards, so I couldn't mention it beforehand) and we had a private showing at the Watershed cinema.

	The What and Why of Hayao Miyazaki
		As I began to realize how much popularity Miyazaki’s films are enjoying both inside and outside of Japan, I began to wonder what inspired him to use his creative talents in the film (and more specifically, animation) industry.
		Since most of Miyazaki’s movies are targeted at a young audience, they are most often compared with Disney’s films here in the States.
		Therefore, through research and my own experiences with Miyazaki films, I have come to believe that his works enjoy great popularity because they show reality through fantasy, show human beings as human beings and nothing more, and provide a hopeful outlook for the future.
