Peter Debruge Variety 12/14/2018
An affectionate look at the master's inextinguishable impulse to create that's all the more enchanting for its casual familiarity. Go to Full Review

As we see, for an artist whose own hand was integral to the way the images were created, giving in to using CGI is not as easy as one might think. Go to Full Review

Kyle M 01/11/2024 A formal portrait on the magnificent storyteller Hayao Miyazaki, detailing his creative strive with enrichingly insightful wisdom advocating his mastered form while reminiscing his past works. (A-) See more spencer p @s_plewe 04/27/2022 A nice catch-up in-between Miyazaki's latest feature films, Never-Ending Man is also a study on an aging artist facing the struggle of whether to let go of his medium. See more 05/17/2021 The man with an apron and the years that he has blessed us with the god-tier animation. A short documentary about the legendary Hayao Miyazaki: his retirement, philosophy, dealing with the dying industry and the taking over of computer animation. The crew of the movie was close to Hayao, so we could see him up close and see parts of his daily life. And I definitely had a better understanding of Hayao's ideals, drive, and demand. Even though his old age is getting the better of him and his old crews, his passion for the industry was still unyielding. It's also interesting to see how he worked the new crew to make Boro the Caterpillar, his first CGI animated film (it's only available at the Ghibli Museum, which was sad). Overall, even though the documentary was slow at times, I felt that I knew more about the man behind the animation. Despite the limitation of hand-drawn animation, Studio Ghibli would always has the best animation, and it will live on for generations. 8.5/10 See more Read all reviews
