Miyazaki is a genius! One of my favorite movies of all time is Princess Mononoke

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Right you are Farhad. Great movie - I love how Miyazaki has always had a thread of green preservation in his flicks. This is, I think, his best movie, even though it came out way back in '87. It's also my kids' favorite. (Spirited Away is a bit too freaky for them).
They like to watch the DVD in the original Japanese, even though they don't understand much - because the voice actors are so much better, and the words are cool sounding.
kuro-kuro kurosuke, donguri etc.

Nintendo vs. Grimault
I was just looking for footage from "Le Roi et le Oiseau" an old French film by grimaut with music by Jacques Prévert. This film has some clips from the movie interspersed with nintendo commercials. It might seem really strange at first, but the film was actually the inspiration for Miyazakis animating style, so the film is culturally significant in Japan. At any rate I typically hate amv's but this is really well done. The music is awesome.
You can learn more about "Le Roi et le Roiseau" here in an old blawg post of mine.
Miyazaki vs. Miyazaki at the 45th anual Kendo Championship

Ghost in the Shell 2 - Festival Scene
Both movies were just way above par from anything anyone could ever expect from anime. I love Miyazaki, but the Ghost in the Shell movies opened up a completely unexplored and new avenue for me.
History of Anime
Technically, it also started with american animation, as that was also a greatly influenced early Anime artists like Miyazaki.

It's not a Miyazaki? Wow...I just assumed. I have the Studio Ghilbi box set and I didn't even think to look at who directed the films. I guess I thought since there were so many Miyazaki's that he directed it as well. In retrospect, I should have known. It is such a heartbreaking film, and I remember thinking how amazing it was that Miyazaki took such a plotline. (I won't spoil it, just in case) Now I know why...because he didn't.
Thanks for the recommendation. I have Pom Poko in the box set, but I haven't had a chance to see it. I thought it was a Miyazaki, too. That'll teach me not to read the back.

Actually Daphne you are mistaken, the background of Grave of the Fireflies is more tragic in reality, the anime is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister. And was written and directed by Isao Takahata for Studio Ghilbi. Hayao Miyazaki wasn't directly involved in this, something I could clearly make out as he would never make a story that's this tragic.

Hayao Miyazaki is the Hans Christian Anderson of the animated medium. When I first discovered his films, not only was I blown away by their plot lines and quality but the sheer number of them... Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle...
If you liked Grave of the Fireflies I would highly reccomend, Pom Poko by Isao Takahata.
By the way I watched Grave of the Fireflies only once in my life. But it's effect was so deep that I cannot bear to watch it again anytime soon.

Oh, thank you for reminding me of Hotaru no Haka...I love Miyazaki. Wept and wept and wept. I think I'll go watch that again tonight.
That's a good film recommendation.
