FunTranscript
00:00A year later, Goro decided to take another shot at making a film after Tales from Earthsea,
00:06with From Up on Poppy Hill, based on the manga of the same name by Tetsuro Sayama and Shizuru Takahashi.
00:15It's the story of Umi Matsuzaki, who meets and goes through the whole romance story with a boy named Shun.
00:23But then they discover one huge problem.
00:27Umi's father, who died in the Korean War, might actually be the same dad as Shun's.
00:34But while that's happening, the school clubhouse, the Cartier Latin,
00:39is about to be torn down to make room for the 1964 Summer Olympics.
00:44So now Umi, Shun, and the rest of the guys in the clubhouse must find a way to save the Cartier Latin.
00:51For the voices of the characters in the original Japanese version,
00:55Goro brought in Junishi Okada to play Shun and Aoi Teshima to play Umi's friend, Yuko.
01:02Both actors have previously been with Goro to provide the main voices in Tales from Earthsea,
01:08with Okada as Eren and Teshima as Teru.
01:11Originally, Goro really wanted to capture the realism and the historical significance of the city of Yokohama.
01:19But the only problem with it is just that making something look real is one thing,
01:25but to make it look beautiful is another playing field.
01:29So instead, he depicted the city from the eyes of the characters, a place that's entirely covered with life.
01:37On March 11th, 2011, a great disaster occurred in the east of Japan.
01:44One of the biggest earthquakes that hit the country occurred,
01:47and caused a powerful tsunami that traveled up to 10 kilometers.
01:51It would then hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and resulted a meltdown in three of its six reactors.
01:59It was an event that seriously affected the whole country, including what happened to Studio Ghibli.
02:05During that time, they were faced with a series of rolling blackouts,
02:10and to help minimize any delays in their progress, the animators would also work night shifts.
02:15The heads at Ghibli say that the animation was about 50% complete when asked by the press.
02:21However, without the disaster, they would have been more than 70% done.
02:27Goro did state that even if no one was really affected by the disaster directly,
02:32some did have to take some time in order to recover mentally.
02:36When it was released on July 16th, 2011,
02:40it really didn't do as well as the other Ghibli films with just 6.3 billion yen at the box office.
02:47This was due to competition with other major films released at the time,
02:51like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II,
02:54and a double feature of the Pokemon film, Victony, and the black hero Zekrom, and the white hero Reshiram.
03:02But in terms of critics, it actually went much better than last time with Earthsea,
03:07saying that it's gentle and nostalgic.
03:10From Up on Poppy Hill is one of Studio Ghibli's sweeter efforts,
03:14and if it doesn't push the boundaries of the genre,
03:17it remains as engagingly lovely as Ghibli fans would come to expect.
03:22For the first time since the deal in 1996,
03:26the English version was not done nor distributed by Disney.
03:31This time, Ghibli had to deal with G-Kids in order to release the film in the U.S.
03:36with award-winning sound designer Gary Rydstrom as director of the English dub,
03:41which was later released in limited theaters on March 15th, 2013.
03:47The movie would go on to be nominated and win several awards during the years prior,
03:52like winning Animation of the Year at both the Tokyo Anime Award and the Japanese Academy Awards,
03:58and was nominated for an Annie for Best Writing.
04:06Afterwards, Hayao Miyazaki decided to take a new step in his filmmaking career
04:11by taking his signature fantasy element on the side
04:14in order to make room to tell a kinda true biographical story with The Wind Rises.
04:21It's the life of Jiro Horikoshi, an airplane designer who actually existed
04:27and is known to make the Mitsubishi A6M Zero.
04:31Throughout his whole life, all Jiro wanted to do was to make airplanes,
04:36not for the purpose to help his country or because the pay was good,
04:40but because he has the enthusiasm of an artist
04:43and all he wants to do is to create flying pieces of beauty,
04:47even when the world was preparing itself for World War II.
04:51Like I said before, the project all began when Miyazaki was thinking of making a sequel
04:57to Ponyo, but his producer and good friend Toshio Suzuki suggested instead
05:03to make a movie based on one of his recent mangas, The Wind Has Risen.
05:08You see, back in 2009, Miyazaki made a short-lived manga
05:13that tells the story of a fictionalized biography of Jiro Horikoshi
05:17when he was making the Mitsubishi A5M in 1935 for Model Graphics Magazine.
05:24The extra elements he added for the manga were dreamlike encounters with Jiro's hero Giovanni Bastia Caproni
05:31and some scenes taken from the autobiographical novel of the same name by Tatsuo Horii,
05:37where we also see his love life, which unfortunately ended with his wife passed away from tuberculosis.
05:44As for the title, Horii took a quote and translated it from the Paul Valéry poem Le Cimetière marin.
05:52In fact, even the movie would often quote the poem as one of the central themes.
05:57Le Vent s'élève? It's a French poem.
06:01Il faut tenter de vivre.
06:03Speaking of the film, at first Miyazaki wasn't really too keen on making The Wind Rises
06:09since he only makes mangas as a hobby and there are some subject matter that aren't really suitable for kids.
06:16However, he changed his mind after someone suggested to him that kids should be exposed to things that they don't understand,
06:24which is really true when you think about it, but too bad this mentality only exists in Japan.
06:32Another reason why Miyazaki decided to make the film came from a quote from Jiro himself saying,
06:38all I wanted to do was to make something beautiful.
06:41For the character of Kastroff, some speculate that he's actually based on the real-life Soviet spy Richard Sorge,
06:48since both were working undercover as a journalist and are against Nazi Germany.
06:53This is also evident by how Kastroff gave out secret information to the Germans' plans
06:58and how he ended up being arrested in Japan just like Richard.
07:02For the voice of Jiro, the heads at Ghibli were thinking of having a non-actor,
07:07someone who can act, but not an actor professionally.
07:12As a joke, they suggested animator Hideaki Anno,
07:16but the more Miyazaki thought about it, the more that it actually sounded like a good idea.
07:22So when they brought in Anno for the part, not only did he say yes, making it the first movie where he was acting,
07:29but also his animation company, Studio Kara, came to help with the animation.
07:35Originally, it was supposed to be in surround sound with all the airplane noises coming from everywhere,
07:41but Miyazaki thought that it would be too distracting to what's happening on screen
07:46and decided to keep the movie in mono.
07:49Once the film was completed and had its first screening,
07:52Miyazaki admitted that it was his first time that he cried when watching his own movie.
07:58When it was released on July 20th, 2013,
08:01the movie didn't make as much as Miyazaki's previous works with just 16.8 billion yen at the box office,
08:08but still counts as the highest grossing film in Japan of 2013.
08:13Also, the critics seem to have highly enjoyed the film,
08:17saying that The Wind Rises is a strongly artistic look at a man who has revolutionized Japanese aviation
08:23with the beloved animation that only Studio Ghibli can deliver,
08:27a deep and powerful story, and realistically human characters.
08:32However, despite what the critics say,
08:34the movie found itself into quite the controversy with politics and anti-smoking groups.
08:40It didn't help either that Miyazaki added fuel to the fire
08:44when he publicly criticized Japan's Liberal Democratic Party for proposing to change the constitution of Japan.
08:50Since Jiro Horikoshi was responsible for creating the warplanes used during World War II,
08:56some have accused Miyazaki for making a film that looks positively on a man that created killing machines.
09:03When Disney was taking charge of the English dub,
09:06Gary Rydstrom once again returned as the director with a cast that features
09:11Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiro,
09:13Emily Blunt as Naoko,
09:15Martin Short as Kurokawa,
09:17William H. Macy as Satomi, and many more.
09:21The English version was released in selected theaters on February 21st, 2014,
09:26and then had a wide release a week later under the Touchstone Pictures label,
09:31since it did get a PG-13 rating.
09:33The movie would go on to earn several awards and nominations,
09:37some of them being from the big-name academies,
09:40including the Japanese Academy Awards for Animation of the Year,
09:44an Annie Award for Best Writing,
09:46plus two nominations for Best Character Animation and Best Animated Feature,
09:50a nomination for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film,
09:54and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature,
09:58which it lost to Disney's Frozen.
10:00On September 6th, 2013, after he was done with The Wind Rises,
10:05Hayao Miyazaki made a press conference to announce that he is officially retiring
10:10from making any more animated features.
10:13Mm-hmm. Yeah, sure.
10:15Just like how you retired after Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.
10:19Come on, Miyazaki-san, what's your plan for the next movie?
10:22It's not like Disney will advertise The Wind Rises like it's your last movie!
10:32Oh.
10:34Y-You're actually serious, aren't you?
10:37But...
10:38But we don't want you to stop.
10:40What are we gonna do with that-
10:42Ooh, look at that! The tale of the Princess Kaguya!
10:45It's the story of a bamboo cutter
10:48who finds a little girl in a bamboo shoot
10:50and decided to take her as his own.
10:52Believing that her and other surprises from the bamboo are divine gifts bestowed upon him,
10:57the bamboo cutter and his wife believe that she is destined to be a princess
11:02and heads out to the capital to do so.
11:05Now Kaguya must live her life as a princess
11:08by taking etiquette classes and dealing with suitors she doesn't like,
11:12even though all she wants to do is just live.
11:17Before the film,
11:18Iseo Takahata had never worked on a movie since the 1999 My Neighbor the Yamadas.
11:24But you might be wondering, why?
11:27Did he retire?
11:28Did he go on a career change?
11:30Actually, it's because he's just so hard to work with!
11:35You see, Takahata hates working on cell animation.
11:39He always wanted to find a different way to make his version come to life.
11:44However, cell animation is what Studio Ghibli does best.
11:49They can't just make an entirely new system for creating their features
11:53when the old one is not only fine, but works extremely well.
11:58Because of his new system,
12:00the production of the Yamadas had been nothing but pure chaos for the animators,
12:04and the movie ended up becoming a flop.
12:07Thus Takahata decided to call it quits.
12:10Ever since then,
12:11there had been plenty of producers who tried and failed to get Takahata back to work.
12:17But then came Yoshiaki Nishimura.
12:20He was determined to get another Takahata film out there,
12:24and the old director decided to do it after 18 months of convincing.
12:29Now, since Nishimura knew very well about Takahata's non-traditional approach,
12:35it's not like he could just go and get some of Ghibli's animators to work for him.
12:39I mean, I think everybody learned their lesson with the Yamadas.
12:43So he decided to go open up a new facility for Studio Ghibli
12:47with 80 freelance animators to make the film.
12:51So, with an entirely new crew at his disposal,
12:54what does Takahata had in mind for his next feature?
12:58Well, he decided to have it based on Japan's oldest folk story,
13:02The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
13:04and he wants the animation style to look like the storyboards of Osamu Tanabe coming to life.
13:09The catch?
13:11He meant that, literally,
13:13have no clean version of the animation and keep the sketches up on display.
13:19Another catch on Takahata's new style is to have the backgrounds be painted in light watercolor,
13:25which sounds easy at first,
13:27but the thing with watercolor is that it is much less forgiving than cells.
13:33It was even proven to be a major challenge for longtime Ghibli background artist Kazuo Oga.
13:39Heck, it was also tricky to do the coloring,
13:42where it could take up to 6 hours to choose the colors in one cut,
13:47in a movie that requires 1423 cuts!
13:52As you can imagine, this is the kind of system that requires a huge amount of trial and error.
13:58But this would also come with a big problem.
14:02Originally, it was going to be released at the same time as The Wind Rises,
14:07a moment where it would have been the first time that a Miyazaki and Takahata film
14:12would have been released at the same time since My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies in 1988.
14:18However, because the production was way behind schedule,
14:22and the storyboards weren't even close to be finished,
14:25the movie was delayed for the fall of 2013.
14:29In fact, there was a moment that Nishimura had to close down the facility
14:33so that Takahata and Tanabe could focus on finishing the storyboards.
14:38Soon afterwards, when looking for a composer,
14:41Takahata thought about having Shinichiro Ikebe to score the film,
14:46but then he decided to go with veteran Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi.
14:51The total running time for this film is 138 minutes, or 2 hours and 18 minutes.
14:58This makes it the third longest animated feature ever,
15:02behind 1983's Final Yamato and 2010's The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya,
15:08which are 163 and 164 minutes respectively,
15:14or approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes each!
15:20Ain't nobody got time for that!
15:22When it was released on November 23rd, 2013,
15:25it was unfortunately a flop by making only half its budget with 2.5 billion yen at the box office.
15:33But on the bright side, it did receive universal acclaim with critics saying that
15:38by boasting narrative depth, frank honesty, and exquisite visual beauty,
15:43the tale of the Princess Kaguya is a modern animated treasure with timeless appeal.
15:49On October 17th, 2014, GKids replaced Disney again to be the North American distributors
15:56with a cast that features Chloe Grace Moretz as Kaguya and Lucy Liu as Lady Sagami.
16:02It also has James Caan and Mary Steenburgen as the voice of the bamboo cutter and his wife,
16:08whom both previously played husband and wife in the 2003 holiday comedy Elf.
16:14The film went on to get several awards and plenty of nominations,
16:18including Best Music and Animation of the Year nominees at the Japanese Academy Awards,
16:24losing the latter to Miyazaki's The Wind Rises,
16:27three Annie nominees for Best Music, Best Directing, and Best Animated Film,
16:32and an Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature,
16:36but lost again to Disney for Big Hero 6.
16:40Satisfied with making his magnum opus at the age of 78,
16:44Takahata can officially relax and mark this as his final animated feature.
16:54As the two co-founders finally made their last animated feature,
16:58it was the moment that when 2014 came along,
17:01Ghibli was about to face some changes much bigger than they expected.
17:06Along with the retirement of Miyazaki and Takahata,
17:10Toshio Suzuki decided to finally retire as producer and take on the role as the studio's general manager,
17:17with Yoshiaki Nishimura taking his old position.
17:20On July 19th, 2014, they released another film by Hiromasa Yonebayashi,
17:26called When Marnie Was There,
17:28based on a novel of the same name by Joan G. Robinson,
17:32which Ghibli did make a small profit from.
17:35However, it would be the final film that Yonebayashi would make with the studio before he decided to quit.
17:41Also, they teamed up with Polygon Pictures to create their first CG animated series,
17:47Ronya the Robber's Daughter,
17:49with Goro Miyazaki as the director,
17:52and the first episode premiered on October 11th, 2014.
17:56However, going back a bit on August 3rd of that year,
18:00the whole world went in panic.
18:03A Ghibli fan page on Tumblr revealed that Toshio Suzuki had a meeting,
18:08and revealed that the studio is closing down.
18:12However, shortly afterwards,
18:14it turned out that Suzuki was mentioning that Ghibli needed some major changes,
18:19due to the fact that they weren't getting as much profit as they used to,
18:22and that they would go on a hiatus from making any more feature films.
18:27Huh, at least that gave out a bit of relief.
18:30But you know the biggest problem with that was?
18:32The fact that people actually believed something they read on Tumblr!
18:36Seriously, who uses Tumblr as their news source?
18:40That's like ordering at a fast food joint,
18:42and then you ask for a diet soda because you're trying to lose weight!
18:46But anyways, as it's pulling itself together during its hiatus,
18:50the studio is now taking time to work on smaller projects with Miyazaki,
18:55including some animated shorts for the Ghibli Museum.
18:58But no matter what the future holds for the studio,
19:01there is one thing that is certain.
19:04With all three of their founders retired from animated features,
19:08this officially marks the end of an era for both Studio Ghibli and animation.
19:31You weren't even listening!
19:58Nope.
