(As of November anyway, the 75-year-old says he’s got a “project proposal” for a new feature he wants to make.) After all, Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of the most beloved animated features on the international scene (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo ).
