These issues range from environmental depletion, the horrors of war, the iniquities of totalitarian regimes and people’s enslavement to commodity fetishism, to the setbacks entailed by personal development, the loss of innocence and the cultivation of the values of loyalty, gratitude, courage, self-sacrifice and love. A firm believer in the wisdom of children, Miyazaki has consistently tackled grave issues without ever sanitizing or sentimentalizing their import, let alone dishing out definitive resolutions. This book will function as an introduction for audiences as yet only marginally familiar with Miyazaki’s oeuvre, while deepening the understanding of the director’s life, thought and creative process for those who are acquainted with his movies and are eager to move beyond the propaedeutic stage. Preface The escalating appeal of Hayao Miyazaki’s films across the continents, matched by the record-breaking box-o‡ce performance of his most recent productions, calls for an up-to-date evaluation of his accomplishments in a directing capacity and of his contributions to works involving other animation practitioners attached to his company, Studio Ghibli.
