Hayao Miyazaki painting classic Ghibli heroine, talking about returning to her world excites fans

New documentary ends with scene of Miyazaki painting scene of not-yet-adapted source material from his manga masterpiece.

Anime director Hayao Miyazaki has, famously, “retired” twice, first after the release of Princess Mononoke in 1997, and then again following The Wind Rises in 2013.

Here’s the thing though: back in 1997 and 2013, it was Miyazaki himself saying that he was done with making feature-length theatrical animation.
