One of the reasons I'm passionate about animation is the essentially unlimited avenues you have for storytelling. Regardless of it being 2D or 3D. You can have gorgeous animation, but a boring story, or sub-par animation with an amazing story. One of the many reasons I'm pursuing animation Thanks for the video, dude :)
Exactly! It’s not about the exact medium necessarily, but about what kinds of stories you can tell. 2D is just as valid as 3D and I wish (American) animation studios understood that. Glad you feel the same way about animation!🤘
Tezuka Osamu is more Walt Disney of Japan. He mentored a whole new generation of comic book writers and animators in Japan. There wouldn't be Japanese animation without Tezuka.
Some people are not capable of understanding a concept unless it is compared to something they’re already familiar with. Yeah it’s a cringe way to introduce him but if it’s what gets someone genuinely interested in Miyazaki’s works and opens up a new world for this person, I’d say let it be
I feel that’d only bother him if he was referred as such by people in Japan. I’m sure he has some respect for Disney and knows of its importance in American cinema and knows why it’s said. It’s just a good way to say his films are some of the biggest and most respected films in Japan, just like Disney USE to be in America.
Stampylonghead introduced me to this thing called a “Studio Ghibli” literally by calling it exactly that in his Ni-No Kuni let’s play. I wonder how Hayo Miyazaki would think of that….
Hiyao Miyazaki had more of an impact on my childhood than Disney did. While I liked some Disney stuff and compulsively watched films like Mulan and Pocahontas, those were really some of the only Disney films I liked. Hiyao Miyazaki transported me, as a child, into a world of magic, while creating a solid but slightly fluid storyline my parents could follow. When I grew old enough to understand, I began to enjoy the storyline too. Especially Ponyo, Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, and more. Studio Ghibli in general encompassed my childhood, including Grave of the Fireflies, the Secret Life of Arrietty, Whisper of the Heart, the Cat Returns, When Marnie Was There, and Ocean Waves. The works of the studio and many of Miyazaki’s were inspiring and brought me to a happy place.
Yup! Even as a kid I gravitated towards the more adult nature of Ghibli's films. They have substance that Disney lacks. They're amazing, beatiful, full of meaning and filled with magic, that isn't just a fairy tale. Disney is mostly just pure entertainment with some simplistic morals slapped on top. It isn't bad, and Disney's movies can still be a joy to watch but uhhhh. Yeah.
I heard a rumor that in Wish there's a scene when King Magnifico rides a horse, they did not knew how to animate a horse running so only king Magnifico and half of the horse body can be seen in the scene. Besides, the director said that 2D was too hard to animate, thats why they prefer 3D. I've never thought I would see a day where a Disney left 2D behind for being to hard to deal with.
that's what happens if you hire based on diversity rather than talent. many of the best animators are reclusive male nerds yet they'd be rejected over some women quota. (I'm a woman btw and love 2D drawing myself.) This is the harsh truth.
This is obviously false. Yes animating a horse can be difficult, but all you need is some time and to study some reference and you are fine. Disney still has plenty of genuine talent in their studio. I mean the main animal companion is a goat for pete's sake, that rumor is absurd on so many levels
@NoctLightCloud No, this is what happens when you shut down studios, fire animators, and time crunch for corporate shareholders. I know it’s cool and hip to call anything with minorities ‘woke’ these days but can we please maintain some semblance of logic
@@imjustJordie-jj1fe logic when you force companies to hire based on race or gender rather than talent? I refuse to accept such a way of thinking. If a Japanese is better for the job, hire them. No need to artificially "diversify".
As much as I love Ghibli, I have to say that there are other Japanese animation studios that have caught upto to them and absolutely embarrasses current Disney. On the top of my head I can point out to the movies made at Madhouse like Redline, every Satoshi Kon movies, Studio Bones with their Sword of the Stranger (has the best 2d animated action scene in ALL of cinema.), Studio Trigger and their movie called Promare, Kyoto Animation with their movies such as A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird etc. 2D animation is very much alive and there are studios that are capable of carrying Miyazaki's legacy. Many of his students/subordinates are major creatives in the studios I mentioned above.
I definitely wouldn't say any of those studios have caught up to ghibli. Like the sheer amount of fantastic films made under ghibli is comparable to all those studios you mentioned combined. Satoshi Kon under madhouse is a good point but still not comparable.
@@ben99ny69dude I would honestly say that something like tatami galaxy which is only 11 episodes long so like a 3 hour movie imo is far better than any ghibli movie ever made. Ghibli has beautiful animation and some great stories but I don’t think that any of there stories have ever been just truly spectacular. And for a movie example I do much prefer satoshi kon to Miyazaki myself even if yes he has made far more great movies. In terms of anime fans for the most part studio Ghibli I don’t think is held in as high regard as just general movie fans though I have no idea the reason for that other than most anime fans preferring shows. I also just absolutely loath there adaptation of earth sea so maybe I’m bias 😂
Been getting tired of seeing people say that 2D is dying 😞 Look at all the animated films from all other parts of the globe and you'll see that it's very much alive and continues to make masterpieces. I can't even count the amount of amazing films from different Japanese animation studios alone.
@@danielgwynne7266 watched the Tatami Galaxy huh? Well at least someone has taste. Have you watched Life is Short Walk on Girl? Also, I think Kaiba is Yuuasa's best work.
Although it doesn't change much his stance on the use of certain technologies, the "I feel this is an insult to life itself" quote is taken out of context. He was shown an animation of a "monster" that reminded him of a dear friend of his who is disabled, and that is what he found truly insulting, taking the characteristics of disabled people and making them monstrous.
I... actually care. When I see 2D I immidiately have more respect just for animation alone. Well, if it looks good I mean. Not every 2D animation is beautiful of course. But there's not a single 3D animated movie that made me say "THIS LOOKS STUNNING". Well, maybe only Spider-verse movies but it's more for the creativity than for the picture itself (also they try to make animation look kinda sketchy and 2D-ish so it also helps) I don't know what but something in 2D animation makes it so alive, so lovely, so magical... I don't know how to put my feelings into words.
@@olgabutorina4156 Arcane? Argument aside, I think there is a charm in seeing well animated 2D like the entirety of The Boy and the Heron with lifelike 2D animation so realistic you can't tell if it's 3D animation or 2D. Of course 2D won't last forever but I'm glad it's still being made in this day and age.
I was lucky that there was a dip in lockdown restrictions here in the UK when wolfwalkers came out, and I got to see it in the cinema. It was brilliant.
Compared to the fellow-2010s Zarafa the Giraffe, Long Way North and April & The Extra Ordinary World then Mebh and Robyn absolutely made the cut to celebrity status.
The fact that the best animated picture nominees this year are all, apart from elemental, far and away some of the most stylized, creative, and complex animations this year not only in terms of animation but storytelling compared to Disney’s output in the animation department is extremely telling in the direction that audiences and critics want animation to move in.
Interesting how Disney is a business dependent on Art and they seem to have forgotten that. They completely miss the point when they impose what they think the consumer wants on their creative group when what made them big is exactly letting creativity flow and produce incredible things
Disney seems to belive they're too big to truly fail, and maybe they're right, but only time will tell, and ppl seem to be more and more fed up with the mouse so we'll see if they hold as much power in 10 years as they do now.
In the documentary ‘Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki’, he dislikes an AI animation (the strange video zombie) but he tried to use CGI for his new short film ‘Boro, the caterpillar’. So I don’t think he doesn’t like CGI, just he prefers 2D animation.
True. The problem begins when you completely detach from reality like those guys that showed him model of a zombie crawling by supporting his weight with his head. That is not how human anatomy looks like. Plus A.I doesn't have emotions. Therefore it ought to be a tool not a creator
Disney obviously didn't understand that another of the children that enjoyed their most successful films of the Renaissance, are the same adults who grew up watching anime. Animation of Japan is a thing all its own and we love it for that. It's not just the story alone but it's the attraction of the 2D world that pulls all it's elements together: animation, characters, story, world, and lore. ❤ Hayao Miyazaki will always be one of the greatest artists and storytellers of all time.
I like the point you're trying to make, but it is rather unlikely Hayao Miyazaki had the motive of "I'm going against a world of 3D with 2D" because, yes, there is a strong focus on 3D Animation currently IN THE WESTERN WORLD, but in East Asia, the grand number of animated pieces is made in 2D, only using CGI/3D as a tool to simplify or quicken the process but in general, the animation landscape of Japan, Korea and China is dominantly 2D, Ghibli is just "that" traditional in their approach, that they reject any kind of CGI and 3D as long as it is possible to achieve what they plan to portray
Great comment on the parallels between Disney 3D animation and Ghibli 2D animation. I think that saying Miyazaki came out of retirement to challenge the status quo of 3D animation is a far stretch, since 2D is the standard in Japan, and Miyazaki has implemented 3D and compositing into his films since princess mononoke, but with very subtle implementations. This new film is about himself. Nevertheless this Ghibli film feels like something made from another era, as Miyazaki ages and accepts the fact that his legacy might not continue the way he wanted, because Ghibli is very tied to himself.
The message of the movie was so visceral to me as an aspiring animator. Especially with the recent development of AI generated video. We need faith in humanity now more than ever.
I felt for a while, the world went through a phase where we did indeed look at 2d animation as outdated with the rise of 3d animation and incredible storytelling. I think the oversaturated market of 3d animation has now stained itself as generic for most audiences as it's been done over and over. Most of us now understand the difficulties of 2d and 3d animation, but mainly that 3d animation has a much quicker process and includes technological shortcuts where 2d animation generally doesn't. Films like spiderverse, puss in boots the last wish and TMNT mutant mayhem shows that people are now interested in artistic style that differentiates itself from the generic style of Disney's 3d animation. I can't believe how safe they played it with Wish. It should have been the opportunity for something bold, fresh and exciting. Though, all we got was a run of the mill story with the exact same visuals they've been doing for the last year with a little bit of watercolour textures and outlines that honestly made it look more unfinished in my opinion. I didn't think it was a terrible film, I did find some enjoyment. But myself and my girlfriend both said we wouldn't be in any rush to watch it again and will likely forget about it as it's far too similar to all of their recent stuff.
6:30 In that particular case, it's not that they brought a 3D tool that angered him, it's because they made an animation of a humanoid "monster" that walks with its head and shoulder. Miyazaki said that he has a friend who had a cerebral palsy who could not even lift his hand to high-five. The fact that the studio thought to make a human who could not walk "normally" into a monster in a horror game was insulting to life itself, he said.
Miyazaki’s hostile comment about an “insult to life” were directed towards the AI generated simulations of lifelike behavior that he was presented with. He has been pretty favorable towards 3D animation in general and has suggested that his son has found success with it. He’s not interested in opposing 3D animation as such.
There should be a balance with it. Using Chat GPT to write scripts is lazy. At that point, you should write scripts if you can't write using the one tool you need, your mind.
What a great video! Disney firing all 2D animators was such a horrible move and Boy And The Heron really proved that. 2D has something that very few 3D animated films have achieved
A quick note you could've pointed out was the marketing for the film in Japan. I remember when it was first announced and during its initial release there were NO marketing materials or trailers aside from a simple poster and a title. Just the fact alone that it was a Miyazaki film carried so much more weight in Japan that people were curious about the film. We just don't have that in the US. The only directors I can think of who can pull it off is maybe Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg, or Walt Disney himself of he was still alive.
I find it interesting that when Disney projects are announced without a title, it’s always “Untitled Disney Animation” or “Untitled Pixar Animation”. It’s never “Untitled Pete Docter Animation”, or “Brad Bird”, or “Andrew Stanton”, or “John Musker and Ron Clements”. Disney sells itself on its brand first and foremost, not its directors.
I am a Japanese studying English, but I found it very interesting where I could understand. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could add Japanese subtitles.
It looks more like cell shaded and some of the shits look cheap and half finished. I will afmit that type of animation worked well with the spiderverse and puss n boots, but with wish, it looked half assed.
@@quangamershyguyyz7166Not really. Their downfall started with remake of Lion King that failed to portray animal emotions. It is not that they haven't made good movies coz Miraculous Ladybug was amazing (story starts progressing from 3rd season but message is awsome), Cruella was visually beautiful and it was a decent backstory for the villainess, Alladin was good although you can notice cheapness and fakeness of costumes, Encanto was amazing. But that would be it. From then nothing good
Just one thing to add, Studio Ghibli is Hayao Miyazaki’s personal anime studio that has become world famous. That’s why they can invest in near unlimited amount of time and resources into a single film. Unlike Disney where you have shareholders, Miyazaki owns and runs nearly everything in the studio.
Thank you for that considération. But its not only Miyazaki! Its the whole japanese anime-tradition with current names as Mamoru Hosada, Naoko Yamada or Makoto Shinkai etc. They are all made basicly drawn 2D (but helped by 3D-in the backgound). Look at "Belle", "A Silent Voice" or "Your Name".
Hopefully Disney will eventually give in and both bring back 2D traditional animation and use other animation styles besides only CGI such as 2.5D (the hybrid animation the Spider-Verse uses) and claymation/stop-motion once in a while
At 6:44 It's not just because it's 3D, but because they were glorifying the sick and twisted idea that someone would want to see an ugly dying body in a hyperealistic state of being such as a zombie. If they wanted to not be gross and truly do something hyperealisic they would have done something beautiful like nature. That's what Miyazaki ment. If they did something like flowers or a tree I think he would have been more on board with the idea of 3D.
It’s interesting how you compare Mahito to Miyazaki himself. In a Japanese documentary about the production of this film, Miyazaki mentions that he created Mahito based on his own childhood. It’s such a deeply personal and beautiful film.
I really enjoyed your video! The background music was distracting though-you have such valuable things to say and I feel that they could hold my attention on their own
i wanna add another thing why these Ghibli movies are just that good. The animation is top notch. like some of their movies are from the 80's and they look like they could be made in the modern day. it is pretty crazy to just think of how well of their major movies still look that good. One of my favorite of these Ghibli movies are "Spirited away" and "the living castle". As both these movies are just filled with a message i vibe with in some way it makes me feel something in the pit of my chest. a strange emotion i just can't discribe
I think a good example of animation that is absolutely for an adult audience is movies by Ralph Bakshi. His movies are raunchy, with very adult topics, but they're fun to look at because he pushes what 2d animation can do.
Howl’s Moving Castle wasn’t really mentioned as an example of Studio Ghibli using computer animation (to move all the different components of the castle). So they do use it and the automation it offers, but never as a replacement for the difficult creative decision of hand-making everything.
The movie won a Golden Globe award, so there could be a chance for the movie to win an Oscar too. I for one hope it dose, Miyazaki won an Oscar for Spirited Away, he deserves another.
It's cheaper and cost less for them. At least Miyazaki cares and creates a hand-drawn masterpiece straight from the heart. That's something in a world where the easy way out makes some of the worst films ever. I'm referring to Chat GPT and AI.
speaking of Japanese animation, I really feel you should check out the 2017 anime "Land of the Lustrous/Houseki No Kuni", a fully 3D made anime that was made at the peak of the time when 3D in anime was shunned upon, which I recall reading that it went on to inspire certain animation scenes in some form for Into the Spider-Verse, and then the animation studio in 2023 released Trigun: Stampede that went even further in improving the animation
I really like Miyazaki's animation for decades now but I hate the fact that every character in his movies look like every other character in his other movies. The same face for the same role pretty much every time. I am convinced now, he can not draw any other face for those characters anymore.
Don’t fix what ain’t broken. Anime studios work on a budget of 2 noodle packs so they’re cutting corners where they can. Drawing same face with different hair isn’t any artistic choice or shortcoming of the creators, it’s just literally faster and cheaper. I thought it was common knowledge huh
this might have more to that those characters are written and drawn to be Japanese, tell me would be able to stand in the middle of Tokyo and be able to tell one person from another? to any Japanese person this characters probably look very different from one another.
Pakistan is releasing its FIRST 2D Hand drawn Animation Movie "The Glassworker" and its Trailer is out!! After 8years of making! Its releasing this July 26th please do a Review on its Trailor ! Its absolutely mesmerising!
It's kind of surreal to know that during my childhood I got to witness an era of fantastic 2d animation, both in the actual movie theatre with classics like The Lion King, and on VHS with ones like The Land Before Time, Brave Little Toaster, and The Great Mouse Detective. The 3d stuff is being used for shortcuts and hamstrung by the mentality that every movie nowadays needs to cater to Tiktok attention spans and never get very serious because it might get in the way of another fart joke.
Hey NO! Have you seen a pixar short film called Smash and Grab, it's about two robot that are friends that fight for their freedom on a futuristic world, it's on disney plus, and the concept amd animation are super cool, I would love it if pixar made a whole move about it, way better than elemental. What do you think?
In all fairness, Walt Disney himself was always pushing the envelope and trying new technologies. First sound animation First color animation First feature length animation First surround sound I think he would have gone all in on 3D animation
And The Boy and The Heron went on to win an Oscar!! Another one for the most deserving Hayao Miyazaki! I love his art, the magic in his animation cannot ever compare to anything else!
Agree with all of that. I've cried in more of his films than Disney. I'm a Disney guy but I realize how much they ripped off from Miyazaki and how he does it better. I don't trust Disney anymore.
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698 strong female protagonists aren’t a ghibli thing though. like ghibli has plenty, but it’s not a trend or writing scheme they invented. it’s just a way of writing stories. having strong female leads isn’t copying lol. and disney has had the mystical element to their movies since the literal 30s.

They're amazing, beatiful, full of meaning and filled with magic, that isn't just a fairy tale. Disney is mostly just pure entertainment with some simplistic morals slapped on top. It isn't bad, and Disney's movies can still be a joy to watch but uhhhh. Yeah.
@@antares3030, Agreed. Ghibli films were just so much better written than Disney movies. They had more depth and room for deep thinking/ feeling.
Same Miyazaki inspired me to become a artist and writer
Me too
same same
This film is now an Oscar-winning film as this is the second win for Hayao Miyazaki since “Spirited Away”!
Imagine comparing this trash film to a god tier film like Spirited Away.
I heard a rumor that in Wish there's a scene when King Magnifico rides a horse, they did not knew how to animate a horse running so only king Magnifico and half of the horse body can be seen in the scene. Besides, the director said that 2D was too hard to animate, thats why they prefer 3D.
I've never thought I would see a day where a Disney left 2D behind for being to hard to deal with.
that's what happens if you hire based on diversity rather than talent. many of the best animators are reclusive male nerds yet they'd be rejected over some women quota. (I'm a woman btw and love 2D drawing myself.) This is the harsh truth.
This is obviously false. Yes animating a horse can be difficult, but all you need is some time and to study some reference and you are fine. Disney still has plenty of genuine talent in their studio.
I mean the main animal companion is a goat for pete's sake, that rumor is absurd on so many levels
@NoctLightCloud No, this is what happens when you shut down studios, fire animators, and time crunch for corporate shareholders. I know it’s cool and hip to call anything with minorities ‘woke’ these days but can we please maintain some semblance of logic
@@imjustJordie-jj1fe logic when you force companies to hire based on race or gender rather than talent? I refuse to accept such a way of thinking. If a Japanese is better for the job, hire them. No need to artificially "diversify".
@@NoctLightCloudMerit-based will always be better than fulfilling a diversity quota. If they're not good at the job, don't hire them.
As much as I love Ghibli, I have to say that there are other Japanese animation studios that have caught upto to them and absolutely embarrasses current Disney. On the top of my head I can point out to the movies made at Madhouse like Redline, every Satoshi Kon movies, Studio Bones with their Sword of the Stranger (has the best 2d animated action scene in ALL of cinema.), Studio Trigger and their movie called Promare, Kyoto Animation with their movies such as A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird etc.
2D animation is very much alive and there are studios that are capable of carrying Miyazaki's legacy. Many of his students/subordinates are major creatives in the studios I mentioned above.
I definitely wouldn't say any of those studios have caught up to ghibli. Like the sheer amount of fantastic films made under ghibli is comparable to all those studios you mentioned combined.
Satoshi Kon under madhouse is a good point but still not comparable.
@@ben99ny69dude I would honestly say that something like tatami galaxy which is only 11 episodes long so like a 3 hour movie imo is far better than any ghibli movie ever made. Ghibli has beautiful animation and some great stories but I don’t think that any of there stories have ever been just truly spectacular. And for a movie example I do much prefer satoshi kon to Miyazaki myself even if yes he has made far more great movies. In terms of anime fans for the most part studio Ghibli I don’t think is held in as high regard as just general movie fans though I have no idea the reason for that other than most anime fans preferring shows. I also just absolutely loath there adaptation of earth sea so maybe I’m bias 😂
I consider Miyasaki a master but i prefer Satoshi Kon's vision and even animation style. He left us way too soon.. 😢
Been getting tired of seeing people say that 2D is dying 😞 Look at all the animated films from all other parts of the globe and you'll see that it's very much alive and continues to make masterpieces. I can't even count the amount of amazing films from different Japanese animation studios alone.
@@danielgwynne7266 watched the Tatami Galaxy huh? Well at least someone has taste. Have you watched Life is Short Walk on Girl? Also, I think Kaiba is Yuuasa's best work.
Although it doesn't change much his stance on the use of certain technologies, the "I feel this is an insult to life itself" quote is taken out of context. He was shown an animation of a "monster" that reminded him of a dear friend of his who is disabled, and that is what he found truly insulting, taking the characteristics of disabled people and making them monstrous.
I don’t care if an animated film is animated in 2D, 3D, CGI, Stop Motion etc. as long as the story and characters are well written.
FACTS
I... actually care. When I see 2D I immidiately have more respect just for animation alone. Well, if it looks good I mean. Not every 2D animation is beautiful of course. But there's not a single 3D animated movie that made me say "THIS LOOKS STUNNING". Well, maybe only Spider-verse movies but it's more for the creativity than for the picture itself (also they try to make animation look kinda sketchy and 2D-ish so it also helps)
I don't know what but something in 2D animation makes it so alive, so lovely, so magical... I don't know how to put my feelings into words.
And the art and music is good.
@@olgabutorina4156
Arcane? Argument aside, I think there is a charm in seeing well animated 2D like the entirety of The Boy and the Heron with lifelike 2D animation so realistic you can't tell if it's 3D animation or 2D. Of course 2D won't last forever but I'm glad it's still being made in this day and age.
I think Wolfwalkers in 2020 proved that 2D animation isn’t dead. I just wish it got a theatrical release I would’ve loved to see in in cinemas
One of my favourite movie ever! This inspired me into making a 40 second animation for my final project for college in visual art.
I was lucky that there was a dip in lockdown restrictions here in the UK when wolfwalkers came out, and I got to see it in the cinema. It was brilliant.
Compared to the fellow-2010s Zarafa the Giraffe, Long Way North and April & The Extra Ordinary World then Mebh and Robyn absolutely made the cut to celebrity status.
@@blackbird3456 Fun Fact:The Xeroxed animation of One Hundred and One Dalmatians was the inspiration for the film's art.
@@orangeslash1667 That’s cool! I didn’t know that!
Traditional animation was never dead, and it never will be.
The fact that the best animated picture nominees this year are all, apart from elemental, far and away some of the most stylized, creative, and complex animations this year not only in terms of animation but storytelling compared to Disney’s output in the animation department is extremely telling in the direction that audiences and critics want animation to move in.
Ghibli films made by Miyazaki are the epitome of "Let bro cook".
The difference between Disney and Ghibli is the difference between doing business and creating art.
Interesting how Disney is a business dependent on Art and they seem to have forgotten that. They completely miss the point when they impose what they think the consumer wants on their creative group when what made them big is exactly letting creativity flow and produce incredible things
Disney seems to belive they're too big to truly fail, and maybe they're right, but only time will tell, and ppl seem to be more and more fed up with the mouse so we'll see if they hold as much power in 10 years as they do now.
In the documentary ‘Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki’, he dislikes an AI animation (the strange video zombie) but he tried to use CGI for his new short film ‘Boro, the caterpillar’. So I don’t think he doesn’t like CGI, just he prefers 2D animation.
True. The problem begins when you completely detach from reality like those guys that showed him model of a zombie crawling by supporting his weight with his head. That is not how human anatomy looks like. Plus A.I doesn't have emotions. Therefore it ought to be a tool not a creator
Disney obviously didn't understand that another of the children that enjoyed their most successful films of the Renaissance, are the same adults who grew up watching anime. Animation of Japan is a thing all its own and we love it for that. It's not just the story alone but it's the attraction of the 2D world that pulls all it's elements together: animation, characters, story, world, and lore. ❤ Hayao Miyazaki will always be one of the greatest artists and storytellers of all time.
It did. It won the Oscar
I think the impact was much larger than just winning a prize.
Just got back from seeing Miyazaki win ANOTHER OSCAR!!!
I like the point you're trying to make, but it is rather unlikely Hayao Miyazaki had the motive of "I'm going against a world of 3D with 2D" because, yes, there is a strong focus on 3D Animation currently IN THE WESTERN WORLD, but in East Asia, the grand number of animated pieces is made in 2D, only using CGI/3D as a tool to simplify or quicken the process but in general, the animation landscape of Japan, Korea and China is dominantly 2D, Ghibli is just "that" traditional in their approach, that they reject any kind of CGI and 3D as long as it is possible to achieve what they plan to portray
Everyone has proved Disney wrong at some point, but that doesn’t mean they will ever care nor change
He won . Literally. Oscar goes to Miyazaki ❤️🥹
Society has common sense ❤
Great comment on the parallels between Disney 3D animation and Ghibli 2D animation. I think that saying Miyazaki came out of retirement to challenge the status quo of 3D animation is a far stretch, since 2D is the standard in Japan, and Miyazaki has implemented 3D and compositing into his films since princess mononoke, but with very subtle implementations. This new film is about himself. Nevertheless this Ghibli film feels like something made from another era, as Miyazaki ages and accepts the fact that his legacy might not continue the way he wanted, because Ghibli is very tied to himself.
“cinematic sugar rush” THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT INTO WORDS
The message of the movie was so visceral to me as an aspiring animator. Especially with the recent development of AI generated video. We need faith in humanity now more than ever.
I felt for a while, the world went through a phase where we did indeed look at 2d animation as outdated with the rise of 3d animation and incredible storytelling.
I think the oversaturated market of 3d animation has now stained itself as generic for most audiences as it's been done over and over. Most of us now understand the difficulties of 2d and 3d animation, but mainly that 3d animation has a much quicker process and includes technological shortcuts where 2d animation generally doesn't.
Films like spiderverse, puss in boots the last wish and TMNT mutant mayhem shows that people are now interested in artistic style that differentiates itself from the generic style of Disney's 3d animation.
I can't believe how safe they played it with Wish. It should have been the opportunity for something bold, fresh and exciting. Though, all we got was a run of the mill story with the exact same visuals they've been doing for the last year with a little bit of watercolour textures and outlines that honestly made it look more unfinished in my opinion. I didn't think it was a terrible film, I did find some enjoyment. But myself and my girlfriend both said we wouldn't be in any rush to watch it again and will likely forget about it as it's far too similar to all of their recent stuff.
I just hope that Disney will return to hand drawn for sure. And with the help of a few stories that are guaranteed to change their landscape forever.
"A project is done when it is done." Beautiful words.
Every frame in "The Boy and The Heron" is filled with magic. Every frame in Disney's "Wish" is filled with "MORE MONEY, PLEASE!".
I swear The Boy and the Heron has to be one of the most beautiful-looking animated films ever.
6:30 In that particular case, it's not that they brought a 3D tool that angered him, it's because they made an animation of a humanoid "monster" that walks with its head and shoulder. Miyazaki said that he has a friend who had a cerebral palsy who could not even lift his hand to high-five. The fact that the studio thought to make a human who could not walk "normally" into a monster in a horror game was insulting to life itself, he said.
Studio Ghibli 2D Animation is always Timeless and it’s Clean and Colorful and life like.
Miyazaki’s hostile comment about an “insult to life” were directed towards the AI generated simulations of lifelike behavior that he was presented with. He has been pretty favorable towards 3D animation in general and has suggested that his son has found success with it. He’s not interested in opposing 3D animation as such.
There should be a balance with it. Using Chat GPT to write scripts is lazy. At that point, you should write scripts if you can't write using the one tool you need, your mind.
What a great video! Disney firing all 2D animators was such a horrible move and Boy And The Heron really proved that. 2D has something that very few 3D animated films have achieved
👍🏻
A quick note you could've pointed out was the marketing for the film in Japan. I remember when it was first announced and during its initial release there were NO marketing materials or trailers aside from a simple poster and a title. Just the fact alone that it was a Miyazaki film carried so much more weight in Japan that people were curious about the film. We just don't have that in the US. The only directors I can think of who can pull it off is maybe Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg, or Walt Disney himself of he was still alive.
I find it interesting that when Disney projects are announced without a title, it’s always “Untitled Disney Animation” or “Untitled Pixar Animation”. It’s never “Untitled Pete Docter Animation”, or “Brad Bird”, or “Andrew Stanton”, or “John Musker and Ron Clements”.
Disney sells itself on its brand first and foremost, not its directors.
I am a Japanese studying English, but I found it very interesting where I could understand. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could add Japanese subtitles.
Welp, Miyazaki's film won the Oscars for 2024
Disney said they couldn't do 2D animation anymore, but just before they released Wish, they released Once Upon A Studio... Which was 2D animated...
It looks more like cell shaded and some of the shits look cheap and half finished. I will afmit that type of animation worked well with the spiderverse and puss n boots, but with wish, it looked half assed.
Miyazaki and Takahata have more talent in their little fingers than any at Disney 💥
Now that’s just rude, and probably false.
It probably is false, but its my opinion and its not rude@@quangamershyguyyz7166
@@quangamershyguyyz7166 that's not being rude. It's speaking facts considering what Disney has been producing for the last 5 years
Apart from his magic stories, the visuals on his films are beautiful using only old school 2D. It’s called ART, something that Disney has lost.
@@quangamershyguyyz7166Not really. Their downfall started with remake of Lion King that failed to portray animal emotions. It is not that they haven't made good movies coz Miraculous Ladybug was amazing (story starts progressing from 3rd season but message is awsome), Cruella was visually beautiful and it was a decent backstory for the villainess, Alladin was good although you can notice cheapness and fakeness of costumes, Encanto was amazing. But that would be it. From then nothing good
Just one thing to add, Studio Ghibli is Hayao Miyazaki’s personal anime studio that has become world famous. That’s why they can invest in near unlimited amount of time and resources into a single film. Unlike Disney where you have shareholders, Miyazaki owns and runs nearly everything in the studio.
People who think 2D is dead don't watch anime.
Miyazaki is Miyazaki. There is no need for comparison to show his greatness.
For some reason, i think hand drawn animation has more soul than 3D animation
Thank you for that considération. But its not only Miyazaki! Its the whole japanese anime-tradition with current names as Mamoru Hosada, Naoko Yamada or Makoto Shinkai etc. They are all made basicly drawn 2D (but helped by 3D-in the backgound). Look at "Belle", "A Silent Voice" or "Your Name".
I love the idea that Miyazaki retires for a month, gets bored, returns to make another banger film and then repeats the process
Another fantastic video. I share a lot of the sentiments you echoed here. Miyazaki is an unmatched master
4:12 to be fair, at the time people DID percieve 2D animation as dated and 3D as novel. Took a couple decades for the nostalgia to kick in.
Thank you for this awesome video No, it’s was so great and I’m excited for the opportunity to see this new Ghibli masterpiece!
This aged super well, considering BatH beat Disney at the Oscars
Not bad, eh?
6:52 We know one reason. Before Michiyo Yasuda passed away she told him: "you have one more story to tell".
Hopefully Disney will eventually give in and both bring back 2D traditional animation and use other animation styles besides only CGI such as 2.5D (the hybrid animation the Spider-Verse uses) and claymation/stop-motion once in a while
Disney is a brand
Miyazaki is the true definition of hard work and dedication he is truly a legend
You know what I realized? The Studio Ghibli movies all have zero sequels.
At 6:44 It's not just because it's 3D, but because they were glorifying the sick and twisted idea that someone would want to see an ugly dying body in a hyperealistic state of being such as a zombie. If they wanted to not be gross and truly do something hyperealisic they would have done something beautiful like nature. That's what Miyazaki ment. If they did something like flowers or a tree I think he would have been more on board with the idea of 3D.
It’s interesting how you compare Mahito to Miyazaki himself. In a Japanese documentary about the production of this film, Miyazaki mentions that he created Mahito based on his own childhood. It’s such a deeply personal and beautiful film.
I really enjoyed your video! The background music was distracting though-you have such valuable things to say and I feel that they could hold my attention on their own

i wanna add another thing why these Ghibli movies are just that good. The animation is top notch. like some of their movies are from the 80's and they look like they could be made in the modern day. it is pretty crazy to just think of how well of their major movies still look that good. One of my favorite of these Ghibli movies are "Spirited away" and "the living castle". As both these movies are just filled with a message i vibe with in some way it makes me feel something in the pit of my chest. a strange emotion i just can't discribe
Studio Ghibli is my favorite studio of all time. I've cried in more of their films than any Western animation or Pixar. Pixar is overrated IMO.
I think a good example of animation that is absolutely for an adult audience is movies by Ralph Bakshi. His movies are raunchy, with very adult topics, but they're fun to look at because he pushes what 2d animation can do.
Howl’s Moving Castle wasn’t really mentioned as an example of Studio Ghibli using computer animation (to move all the different components of the castle). So they do use it and the automation it offers, but never as a replacement for the difficult creative decision of hand-making everything.
Ponyo really introduced me to animated Japanese films and eventually anime, I really honor Miyazaki
Just came across your channel. You are a legend!
Were I in Miyazaki's seat, I'd commission a low-res 3D for an assist to animators with pencils.
I love watching Disney take L after L after L for what they think are great business decisions.
This is great, I would love for you to do a video on the stop motion studio LAIKA - Coraline, Paranorman, Kubo and the two strings etc
The movie won a Golden Globe award, so there could be a chance for the movie to win an Oscar too. I for one hope it dose, Miyazaki won an Oscar for Spirited Away, he deserves another.
He won
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698 I know☺
In addition to VFX, "Godzilla-1.0" director Takashi Yamazaki is one of Japan's leading experts on 3D animation films.
Saying Ghibli is Japans Disney is an insult. The fact that Disney is starting to incorporate AI on their franchise.
It's cheaper and cost less for them. At least Miyazaki cares and creates a hand-drawn masterpiece straight from the heart. That's something in a world where the easy way out makes some of the worst films ever. I'm referring to Chat GPT and AI.
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698Especially when it comes to remakes.
speaking of Japanese animation, I really feel you should check out the 2017 anime "Land of the Lustrous/Houseki No Kuni", a fully 3D made anime that was made at the peak of the time when 3D in anime was shunned upon, which I recall reading that it went on to inspire certain animation scenes in some form for Into the Spider-Verse, and then the animation studio in 2023 released Trigun: Stampede that went even further in improving the animation
I really like Miyazaki's animation for decades now but I hate the fact that every character in his movies look like every other character in his other movies. The same face for the same role pretty much every time. I am convinced now, he can not draw any other face for those characters anymore.
Don’t fix what ain’t broken. Anime studios work on a budget of 2 noodle packs so they’re cutting corners where they can. Drawing same face with different hair isn’t any artistic choice or shortcoming of the creators, it’s just literally faster and cheaper. I thought it was common knowledge huh
this might have more to that those characters are written and drawn to be Japanese, tell me would be able to stand in the middle of Tokyo and be able to tell one person from another? to any Japanese person this characters probably look very different from one another.
Pakistan is releasing its FIRST 2D Hand drawn Animation Movie "The Glassworker" and its Trailer is out!! After 8years of making! Its releasing this July 26th please do a Review on its Trailor ! Its absolutely mesmerising!
Glad to see Miyazaki kind of got back into his elements ^ ^
Asia shows that 2D art and animation isn't dead.
So you’re saying that 2D animation isn’t dead. Disney is.
Basically
It's kind of surreal to know that during my childhood I got to witness an era of fantastic 2d animation, both in the actual movie theatre with classics like The Lion King, and on VHS with ones like The Land Before Time, Brave Little Toaster, and The Great Mouse Detective. The 3d stuff is being used for shortcuts and hamstrung by the mentality that every movie nowadays needs to cater to Tiktok attention spans and never get very serious because it might get in the way of another fart joke.
Hey NO! Have you seen a pixar short film called Smash and Grab, it's about two robot that are friends that fight for their freedom on a futuristic world, it's on disney plus, and the concept amd animation are super cool, I would love it if pixar made a whole move about it, way better than elemental. What do you think?
"The Boy and the Heron," did indeed win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and I look forward to seeing it for myself.
In all fairness, Walt Disney himself was always pushing the envelope and trying new technologies.

Both 2D & 3D can coexist... 2D didn't have to be tossed aside....
I was reintroduced into the beauty of animation by Castlevania on Netflix. It's bloody and dark, but also beautiful. There was more nuance in every frame of that show than any animation I've seen lately, save for a few outliers.
I hate the fact that my husband and friends hated the film. I loved it so much, its fairies, preservation, grief, and quiet all at once.
They didn't understand the hidden meaning and symbolic nature of the film. Ask them to watch it again and see if they feel different, reflecting on their own lives in the process.
