In Ghibli Animation Studio, there is always a white-bearded craftsman wearing an apron, slowly and carefully carving the works on the side of his hand, creating a fantasy world that will always be favored by artists. This is Miyazaki Hayao. How many people are exposed to Miyazaki Hayao animation for the first time depends on the sporadic broadcast of TV stations and the DVD discs in DVD players. Thirty years later, we can finally go back to the summer of childhood and meet my totoro through the movie screen.

Thank you, Miyazaki Hayao, for making me feel better. My neighbor totoro is an elf in the forest and lives beside us like a neighbor. Only children's innocent hearts can capture their signs. When the wind blows, it may be a cat bus passing by, or a chinchilla greeting on the flying gyro, but adult children can't see it anymore. Back to the summer without a trace of haze, the wind is gentle and the water is clear. If a careless little chinchilla drops an oak tree, and you accidentally find it, you will find that the hole in the tree is all green, and then it falls on the hairy belly of the big chinchilla, and then you fall asleep lazily.

How many children are envious in summer? My totoro went to Neverland again. After making the animated film The Wind, Miyazaki Hayao offered to retire for the seventh time. Pencil lead in his hand has to get softer and softer because of the decrease in grip strength, and he can't cope with the growth of age because of long-term work at his desk. However, Miyazaki Hayao always feels uncomfortable. He came back the year before last and chose to stick to his familiar workbench. He said, "It's better to die on something you pursue than to die." Some people say that this is a fusion of Miyazaki Hayao and Monet styles.

He won the Lifetime Achievement Award again, and critics in Los Angeles said: Miyazaki Hayao's animation has brought audiences all over the world to "a fascinating, indelible and imaginative world". In this wonderful fairy tale world, the lake is blue, wild flowers are everywhere, trees are towering, and everything is given life. There is a small wooden spirit in the forest ("ghost princess"); In the old house, there is a dust elf (my neighbor totoro) ready to migrate; Grandpa Boiler also has a group of coal bugs (Spirited Away) who are busy transporting coal ... These lovely elves are unique and indispensable giant creatures in the animation world of Miyazaki Hayao. There are many lovely elves in Miyazaki Hayao's works.

Besides animism, girls, magic and flying are the most common elements in the Miyazaki Hayao world. Hida came down from the sky wearing a flying stone, and it bloomed with strange light (the city of the sky); Hal leads Sophie to walk in the air and take the scale of waltz (Hal's moving castle); Witch Kiki, with her black cat, rides a broom overlooking the seaside town (Witch Home Delivery) ... It gives us an initial imagination of magic and is deeply engraved in childhood memories. However, this is not a completely beautiful fairy tale world, and the innocence in the lost background is even more valuable. Children and adults can feel warmth and healing here because of their strength and companionship after seeing their weaknesses clearly.
