Another banger from Hayao Miyazaki & his team of incredible artists!
This video explores the significant impact of Miyazaki's latest film, especially in the context of Disney's centennial celebration of animation. I delve into why "The Boy and the Heron" stands out in the realm of hand-drawn animation, challenging the current trends dominated by 3D animation. This analysis not only highlights Miyazaki's unique approach to storytelling and animation but also questions Disney's strategic decisions in abandoning traditional 2D animation techniques.
My discussion extends beyond just comparing Studio Ghibli and Disney; it delves into the broader implications of these choices on the animation industry. I examine the historical context of Disney's shift from 2D to 3D animation, the rise of photorealistic animation, and the growing trend towards simplification in mainstream animated films. This video offers a critical perspective on the evolution of animation, drawing parallels between the thematic depth of Miyazaki's work and the perceived stagnation in contemporary animation styles. By analyzing "The Boy and the Heron," I uncover the timeless appeal of hand-drawn animation and its ability to convey profound, multi-layered narratives. This video is a must-watch for animation enthusiasts and anyone interested in the artistic and cultural significance of animated films in shaping our understanding of storytelling.

Also, 2D is still very relevant to Japan so there’s not a really big push to rush into 3D.

I feel like you have twisted Miyazaki's words a tad bit here at minute 6:24 . No, he has not decried 3D animation as a whole, but rather the lazy use of said 3D animation. Keep in mind that the very first project he worked on right after he came out of retirement was a CGI animated short film called "Boro the Caterpillar." This demonstrates that he sees value in CGI, but simply feels more comfortable with 2D animation.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

​@@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

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.

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".

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.

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 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

Disney at one time owned the US distribution rights for Studio Ghibli films, and it did one thing with its distribution of Studio Ghibli's films that is far worse than its handling of its own 2D films, and is far beyond unforgivable in my eyes: It refused to release "Only Yesterday", because there was a story beat where the girls in Taeko's class were told about the facts of menstruation (no oogy imagery, just discussion, and Disney got the heebie-jeebies about that. (I wonder if Disney's decision to not release "Red Panda" to theatres was for a similar reason?) Another thing that Disney won't learn from "The Boy and The Heron" - it was the first Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature that received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. If "Grave of the Fireflies" had had a full theatrical release in the United States, and and the Best Animated Feature Oscar was available to be awarded that year, its competition would have been "The Land Before Time", "Oliver and Company", and "Brave Starr - The Movie", * and it very probably would have won as well - and "Fireflies" would have received at least a PG-13 rating, and possibly an R.) Disney never did stretch past PG in any of its animated films, which restricts what stories that it can tell in animation. * - "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a mix of animation and live action, and I am not certain whether AMPAS would have allowed it to be nominated for Best Animated Film - if that was allowed, the odds of "Grave of the Firefiles" winning the Oscar would have been significantly reduced.
