About this book
Western study and analysis of anime auteur Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli was in its infancy when this book first appeared in 1999. This revised and extended edition builds on 25 years of greatly extended scholarship, critique and available material, extending its scope to include Miyazaki's 84th year and 13th feature film. This new edition includes fully updated coverage of his career and filmography, new autobiographical material and new commentary from creative partners, scholars and journalists. Its accessible style and wide-ranging research present a picture of an artist who can seem contradictory but remains consistently true to his beliefs and principles.
