Finally, wrapping up the talk, the producer was asked whether he would be producing the full-length Kemushi no Boro feature film proposed by Miyazaki.
What many fans won’t know, however, is the fact that Miyazaki had a number of reservations about the release.
Tomohiko Ishii has also written a book, called Jibun Wo Suteru Shigoto Jutsu, which loosely translates to The Throw Yourself Away Work Technique. As Suzuki’s long-time assistant, Ishii has worked as assistant producer on a number of Studio Ghibli films, including Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away.
When you think of Studio Ghibli, a number of internationally acclaimed anime feature films come to mind: My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and of course, Japan’s highest-ever grossing movie, Spirited Away.
