Miyazaki on Ponyo
GhibliWorld.com has translated excerpts from a Miyazaki interview with Yomiuri Shinbun, mostly regarding Ponyo on a Cliff. Very interesting read! Notably Miyazaki decided earlier on not to use any cg in the production of Ponyo; the movie will be fully done in hand drawn animation. I am pretty excited about that, here’s a great quote :”I always tell my staff that if they don’t like to draw by hand deliberately, then they should give up animation. It’s easy to distinguish if pictures are drawn by machines or human hands. If we give up the tough way, we will lose the richness in our art.”
