Richard Scarry made jobs look far more fun and appealing than they really are. Is it any wonder I still dream of living in Busytown where I could be an artist driving some fruit or vegetable shaped vehicle?
“I believe that fantasy in the meaning of imagination is very important. We shouldn’t stick too close to everyday reality but give room to the reality of the heart, of the mind, and of the imagination.”
- Hayao Miyazaki
"I try to dig deep into the well of my subconscious. At a certain moment in that process, the lid is opened and very different ideas and visions are liberated. With those I can start making a film."
- Hayao Miyazaki
“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.” – Hayao Miyazaki
I think no better story can equip a child more than a fairy tale. It doesn't shrink back from darkness & death, trauma & trials. It reveals the root of the human heart thru the forms of wolves, witches, devils & dragons. At the same time, it shows a child these can be overcome.

Many of my films have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. Any woman is capable of being a hero as any man.
- Hayao Miyazaki
