Miyazaki's Future w/ Disney

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday August 25, 2001 @12:01AM from the wonder-where-this-will-go dept.

An anonymous reader sent us an interesting little article about Miyazaki and Disney. Disney of course owns the rights to distribute his films (like to pick a gigantic example Princess Mononoke) to worldwide audiences. Apparently lackluster profits from Mononoke may jeopradize future Miyazaki titles release in the US, which would be terribly unfortunate considering that in the end, the DVD release of Mononoke was absolutely wonderful (although its a somewhat dark film for Mouse) This is all tied to Spirited Away, his latest film which is apparently doing great things at the Japanese Box Office.

Ignore Disney. by CyanideHD · 2001-08-25 05:38 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Miyazaki needs to ignore horrible corporations such as Disney. Although the distribution would be less. Let's keep this at a grassroots level where people actually enjoy the movie rather than buying it because "my friends have it, so i bought it too". We don't want Disney to also create a trends setting fad with Anime that could die down within a year. That would be disaster to the Anime Industry.
