Hayao Miyazaki To Develop His First CG-Animated Film

The legendary director Hayao Miyazaki has started developing a new short film for Studio Ghibli, and it will be his first CG animated film project.

The news was reported by Studio Ghibli's Goro Miyazaki, who has worked on films such as From Up On Poppy Hill, Ronia the Robber's Daughter, and Tales from Earthsea,. When discussing about his father's project, he said:

"Now, Hayao Miyazakiis trying to make a short with CG to screen at the Ghibli Museum. He gets bored when his goal is maintaining [the Ghibli Museum], so he needs things to fiddle around with."

Although Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature-length films, he said that he still wants to continue making short films for the Ghibli Museum. When talking about the art of animation and the state of tradition hand-drawn work:, he said:

"I think talent decides everything. More than the method, what's important is the talent using it. There's nothing inherently wrong or right about a method, whether it be pencil drawings or 3-D CG. Pencil drawings don't have to go away, but those who continue to use the medium lack talent. So sadly, it will fade away."

I hope we'll get to see the short films he creates. Would you like to see a CG-animated film from Miyazaki?
