I see everyone liking and sharing this, and I think it’s important to recognize Miyazaki is a grouch because he’s a rabid anti-nationalist and pacifist with socialist leanings who absolutely-hated Shinzo Abe, hated Japan’s denial of its past, he hates Trump, Boris Johnson, and Hilary Clinton.
The man and his work get painted as a “vibe”, when meanwhile it’s actually complex textured storytelling. He threw out so much of his old work because he felt it was disrespectful to ape the style of other cartoonists and animators. He fucking hates Walt Disney, just totally hates him.
