over four decades, Hayao Miyazaki has been enchanting audiences of all
ages. His animated films, often featuring children navigating unfamiliar
and challenging worlds, offer timeless explorations of youth and what
it means to grow up. Celebrated and admired around the globe for his
artistic vision, craftsmanship and deeply humanistic values, Miyazaki
has influenced generations of artists. The universal appeal of his
evocative natural settings and complex characters, many among them
strong girls and young women, cuts across cultural boundaries.<br>
<br>
This book is published on the occasion of the inaugural exhibition at
the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, opening September
30, 2021, and is produced in collaboration with Studio Ghibli in Tokyo.
It accompanies the first ever retrospective dedicated to the legendary
filmmaker in North America and introduces hundreds of original
production materials, including artworks never before seen outside of
Studio Ghibli’s archives. Storyboards, character designs, layouts,
backgrounds and production cels from his early career through all 11 of
his feature films, including <em>My Neighbor Totoro</em> (1988),<em> Kiki’s Delivery Service</em> (1989), <em>Princess Mononoke</em> (1997),<em> Spirited Away</em> (2001) and<em> Howl’s Moving Castle</em> (2004), offer insight into Miyazaki’s creative process and masterful animation techniques.</span></p>
