“All That’s Left Now Is My Worn-Out Self”: Ghibli’s Miyazaki Appears on Video for Oscars Message

Studio Ghibli co-founder and director of The Boy and the Heron Hayao Miyazaki has revealed his relief at finally finishing the film after seven long years of production.The comment was made during a livestream panel of the 96th Academy Award nominees for Best Animated Film, later uploaded to YouTube. Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli’s president, were not present at the panel in person but sent a video message answering a few short interview questions about their nominated film, The Boy and the Heron. Suzuki asked Miyazaki what about the film he was happy with, to which Miyazaki thought for several moments before replying, “I’m glad that I made it all the way to the end. All that’s left now is my worn-out self.”Miyazaki had previously stated that after the production of The Boy and the Heron, he would be retiring. This was Miyazaki’s fourth retirement announcement since 1997 (after the production of Princess Mononoke), none of which have stuck. Studio Ghibli Vice President Junichi Nishioka revealed during an interview with CBC at the Toronto International Film Festival that Miyazaki is currently working on ideas for a new film and still coming into his office every day.
