Support me on Patreon! ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/notherobot Another banger from Hayao Miyazaki & his team of incredible artists! This video explores the significant impact of Miyazaki's latest film, especially in the context of Disney's centennial celebration of animation. I delve into why "The Boy and the Heron" stands out in the realm of hand-drawn animation, challenging the current trends dominated by 3D animation. This analysis not only highlights Miyazaki's unique approach to storytelling and animation but also questions Disney's strategic decisions in abandoning traditional 2D animation techniques. My discussion extends beyond just comparing Studio Ghibli and Disney; it delves into the broader implications of these choices on the animation industry. I examine the historical context of Disney's shift from 2D to 3D animation, the rise of photorealistic animation, and the growing trend towards simplification in mainstream animated films. This video offers a critical perspective on the evolution of animation, drawing parallels between the thematic depth of Miyazaki's work and the perceived stagnation in contemporary animation styles. By analyzing "The Boy and the Heron," I uncover the timeless appeal of hand-drawn animation and its ability to convey profound, multi-layered narratives. This video is a must-watch for animation enthusiasts and anyone interested in the artistic and cultural significance of animated films in shaping our understanding of storytelling. --------------- Click to subscribe: https://bit.ly/3ZYQbWo My equipment!
