Just saw this today in LA Times Calendar: In 1980 Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle of Cagliostro" so opened my cinematic eyes & imagination to the vast possibilities within the 2D animation I would later direct: X-MEN & GI JOE:The Movie. More influences: Area 88, Project A-KO, Giant Gorg
What I love about Miyazaki's films is the same thing I love about fairy tales, they are not only infused with magic but are deeply rooted in reality. They don't shy away from darkness, but, in the end, hope always triumphs over despair.
Here is the final drawing from today. Inspired by Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. I drew a turtle creature with castles on their backs. Floating islands in betwixt to get from one to the other. I'm only 16 followers away from a 700-headed Garf. Please follow me on Twitch!
One of Hayao Miyazaki's pre-Ghibli masterpieces has been secured for an English release by @GKIDSfilms, and it requires your attention.

Good night, dear magical Twitter folk. Tonight I will leave you with Hayao Miyazaki's watercolors concept art for My Neighbor Totoro.
Every year, when Hayao Miyazaki's birthday rolls around, Youtubers make retrospectives of Studio Ghibli & completely skip or barely gloss over everything he did before 1986.
2)An unwise person claims Luca "Out Hayao Miyazaki's the man himself" (paraphrase)
I don't agree with that tone, but Luca has some elements that seem inspired by him, but I feel they are their own thing and give respect to the man. So don't let that silly statement turn you off
Encountered while researching TF VHS sales data: the 1985 US poster for Miyazaki's Nausicaä. Huh.
(VHSの販売情報を求めて、古い雑誌を調査しています。TFとは関係ありませんが、自分でこの画像を見てショックを受けました。これは「風の谷のナウシカ」の1985年のアメリカのポスターです。)
Since it's #WorldOceanDay here are underwater images from Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo (2008)
Hayao Miyazaki's watercolors for Rowlf, based on a comic by Richard Corben, about a princess who's kidnapped by demons. Miyazaki had wanted to adapt it into a film in 1980. Corben, who's comic was grittier, didn't like the softer style & more childlike concept Miyazaki proposed.
Hayao Miyazaki's graphic novel, JOURNEY OF SHUNA ,1983 was inspired by a Tibetan folktale, "The Prince who became a Dog". In the story, Shuna leaves a hostile land and travels to the land of long lost species and god men to save his land .
