Today this dude is the subject of my blog post. Why? Because he is, in my personal opinion, one of the BEST animators out there in the world today. All of his stories are genuinely unique in their own way, not to mention both fun and something that really makes you think about life in general. Hayao Miyazaki is one of those directors/writers where, no matter what the movie is, I will definitely be going to see it; you may be asking yourself: Derek, why are you so into seeing animated movies? Well the answer to this one is simple: Hayao Miyazaki does it best.
ALL of his movies are genuine pieces of art; they are not only thought provoking, but also highly entertaining filled with many themes that children and adults alike will recognize. I seriously doubt anyone who sits down watch one of this films will be disappointed- they are just that good. Hayao Miyazaki 's style comes from a popular style of animation in Japan, dubbed Anime. Anime is another one of those things that really has something for everyone; a lot of people misjudge it to being with. You may already be familiar with some anime and not even realize it: certain TV shows like Sailor Moon and One Piece, which are featured as children's shows in America, are done in the anime style.
IN truth, anime is NOT for Children- a lot of the shows brought over here from are cut and reformed to be made okay for child TV. While there are different genres, like in everything you watch or read, and some are cutsie and fun, a lot of the anime prevalent has many adult themes in them. One of the reason's I think Hayao Miyazaki is so great is that he seems to blend the child and adult themes flawlessly- he can make a genuine piece of art that is both entertaining for a child AND genuinely entertaining for the adults as well. In my personal opinion Hayao Miyazaki is not someone you should just overlook as another "children's animator" and not see his movies; go see a Miyazaki film today- you will not be sorry you did.
