Biography

One of the most renowned animators in the world, Miyazaki has frequently produced some of the highest-grossing films in the history of Japanese cinema. His most successful film to date, Spirited Away (2001), became the first non-English-speaking animated film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and his work has been a consistent draw at the Japanese box office, breaking many records. While he began his illustrious career at Toei Animation, the majority of the films he would make in later years would be produced through Studio Ghibli and released by Toho.
