looney tunes animator ben washam, creator of the Big Boy mascot https://t.co/qZUVbyFtgk
the voice acting is supremely adorable (also the animation in this ep is directed by famed artist Manabu Ohashi)
maybe i'll learn to like gundam
miyazaki and his animators had a long history with cartoony tv shows and films and that expressive distortion and humorous ways of staging action still informs their later work
in fact he did a LOT of covers. over a hundred starting in the early 30's
his scratchy style might be a turnoff for some but it allowed him to be really funny and raw
i love william steig's picture books. his writing was as witty as his cartooning
there's a whole lot of extended sequences with pretty art and brooding kenji kawai music which is a big draw imo
costume fun
