A FANTASTIC MIND

Hayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After

graduating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation Company. At Toei, he worked on

many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind,

which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start

his own animation company, Studio Ghibli.

One of Miyazaki’s most loved movies is My Neighbor Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children’s movie, but

many adults like it, too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with an enormous, supernatural

animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many fantastic characters such as Cat Bus, a cat

that is also a bus. Miyazaki’s 2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than Totoro. In fact, it made

more money than any other movie in Japanese history.

All of Miyazaki’s movies contain strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in

worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life. He often points out how

humans hurt the natural world. He thinks people should change how they live.

Miyazaki’s movies combine fantasy and reality in an original way. This may be why so many people like his

movies.
