Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985 and made animation into art. “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” “Princess Mononoke,” “Howl’s Moving Castle”—his films blend environmental themes, strong female protagonists, and stunning hand-drawn animation. He draws every frame himself, obsessing over details until they convey emotion without words. His movies trust children’s intelligence, never condescending or simplifying. They’re about growing up, environmental destruction, pacifism, and finding wonder in small moments. He’s announced retirement repeatedly then returned because making films is what he does. He won an Oscar at 75 and is still drawing.
