    Miyazaki’s the man.

    He never fails, it's only sad that he says this is last film, though he has said that before, I think this time he means it.

    The Indiana Jones movie made the top list? Wow. That movie sucked. Maybe they fixed all the cliche and far fetched plot points in the translation.

    Unfortunately, hiding in a fridge to avoid being burned in an atomic bomb blast translates into stupid in almost every country.

    Manga compensates for lack of real talent.

    Disney can learn a lot from miyazaki

    @Dennis0bauer: Miyazaki is a great filmaker but no Disney does not need to learn from Miyazaki. Disney uses 24 cells per second versus 12 cells per second (with each cells used twice) for most japanese cartoons. That is why the action in Disney movies is more lifelike. Also, Disney uses children to dub the childrens voices while the Japaese use adult women to represent boy's voices.

    bishamonten: "He never fails" [Kiki's Delivery Service] is pretty bad. At least there is "Porco Rosso" to compensate

    I think its time WDisney takes over Miyazaki production.

    Point taken, though I did still like Kiki.

    I wouldn’t say that the technical make up of a cartoon is what makes it special or enjoyable. In fact most people are very unlikely to even know what you are talking about. They watch the film, how many cells are used & re-used & who the voices belong to never crosses their minds. Why should it? They came to see a film.

    bishamonten:

    The viewer may not know exactly why but the do see the difference in the lifelikeness of motion and haveing adults try to imitate children voices is one of the most annoying trait in Japanese amination. The story line may be the top selling point but the quality of production is what make the viewing enjoyable.
