    The untold story of Hayao Miyazaki: the soul behind the master of animation
    Latest blog post

    The untold story of Hayao Miyazaki: the soul behind the master of animation

    Explore the lesser-known history of Hayao Miyazaki, his creative process and philosophy, from his beginnings at Toei to the founding of Studio Ghibli.. To talk about Hayao Miyazaki is to talk about one of the most influential creators in the history of animation. Founder of Studio Ghibli and author of classics such as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke, his films have transformed the way the world understands cartoons: not as children's entertainment, but as an artistic language capable of exploring human emotion with depth and beauty. But behind the master is a man full of contradictions: obsessive, idealistic, sentimental and, at the same time, radically critical of the world around him. This article reveals Miyazaki's less told story: his way of working, his influences, his initial failures and the philosophy that shaped his poetic universe. The content is inspired by the documentary The Never-Before-Told Story of Hayao Miyazaki and the key stages of his early career.
