The thought-provoking, aesthetically pleasing animated films of Hayao Miyazaki attract audiences well beyond the director's native Japan. "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away" were critically acclaimed upon U.S. release, and the earlier "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" have found popularity with Americans on DVD. This critical study of Miyazaki's work begins with an analysis of the visual conventions of manga, Japanese comic books, and anime; an overview of Japanese animated films; and a consideration of the techniques deployed by both traditional cell and computer animation. This section also details Miyazaki's early forays into comic books and animation, and his output prior to his founding of Studio Ghibli. Part Two concentrates on the Studio Ghibli era, outlining the company's development and analyzing the director's productions between 1984 and 2004, including "Castle in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro" and his newest film, "Howl's Moving Castle". The second section also discusses other productions involving Studio Ghibli, including "Grave of the Fireflies" and "The Cat Returns". Appendices supply additional information about Studio Ghibli's merchandise production, Miyazaki's global fan base, and the output of other Ghibli directors. |

This book is full of the wonderful illustration of Miyazaki Hayao's films. It also critically analyses his work. All his films are so intricate and beautiful it's great to be able to see it up close. Miyazaki Hayao is defintely a genius and the stories he tells through the films are powerful and meaningful. His works are amazing and his art is just wonderful!

This will please all lovers of Hayao Miyazaki's work as it covers a wide range of his best films to date, as we see his artwork get more and more fluid we also see alot of his trademarks appear more subtly, such as female heroes, nature as an unstoppable force and wickedly wild aircraft that only he would imagine. This is most certainly a must for fans of all Hayao Miyazaki's artwork.
