Comments on: And now for something completly different… http://greenmanpress.com/news/archives/83 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:05:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: segundus http://greenmanpress.com/news/archives/83/comment-page-1#comment-87 segundus Wed, 01 Nov 2006 13:08:19 +0000 http://greenmanpress.com/news/archives/83#comment-87 Indeed, Mr. Miyazaki is the most talented cell animators still in the business. Him and Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit). I also quite like Don Bluth's work too. Totoro was the first Ghibli film I saw - back when I was a teenager. At the time I had no idea what the heck it was, and it was shown on television at an ungodly hour, but it stuck in my mind and it was only until 1999/2000 that I managed to figure out what it was and get the region 1 DVD. And here's irony. During the time I went to the King Kong premiere in New York last December, my wife went off to Japan on business and was due to tour the Ghibli studios. I would have given pretty much anything to have done that (as I could have tagged along apparently), but sadly the tour was cancelled at the last moment. Mind you, I did get to meet Richard Taylor, master of modern creature effects. A small consulation. Indeed, Mr. Miyazaki is the most talented cell animators still in the business.

I love Fujur! The Neverending Story is -still- up to date one of my most beloved books, one of those which travel with me everywhere I go. Superb art, as always, Mr Vess It looks fantastic!
