or something.

Now I have to replace this screen.

Where do we keep them?

Are you all right?

Maybe you should take

some of your medicine.

Thanks, Haru.

I feel fine.

The nesting season, eh?

Have yourself

a nice long rest now.

Papa...

- I told you to stay away.

- I'm sorry.

I wanted to do

something to help.

But he didn't see me.

You put your family in danger.

I won't say it again.

Understand?

Yes.

We'd better start looking.

It's time.

Pod...

"You forgot something"

Afternoon! Package for you.

Thanks again ma'am.

It's pretty hot out there.

Listen, know any good

pest control companies?

Pest control?

Here's one. "Squeaky Klean Service."

Squeaky Klean Service?

Let me just write that down.

Haying problems with mice?

Maybe it's mice,

or maybe it's something else.

Between us, it's little people.

I've seen them myself.

A crow tried to

fly into your room?

I hope it didn't scare you.

Don't worry, Aunt Sadako.

Haru chased it out.

I was so astonished!

I never saw such a huge...

Excitement's the worst thing

in the world for his heart.

He came here for peace and quiet.

If anything were to happen

before the operation...

I know, I know.

I realize his mother's

terribly busy at work.

But to go abroad on business

and leave a sick child?

It must be terribly hard for you

without your mother.

I don't mind.

I suppose the divorce

couldn't be helped.

But why can't she be here,

when he needs her so?

Aunt Sadako, who made

that little house in my room?

It's amazing.

You mean the doll house?

That doll house

belongs to your mother.

She left it here

when she moved out.

It was hers?

My father had it

made to order in England.

It was for the little people.

My father claimed he'd seen them.

He waited for so many years.

He always said that house

was a present for them.

But I'm afraid they never

showed themselves again.

Not in my father's lifetime,

nor in mine.

Young Master, did you happen to see

any little people in your room?

Unfortunately... no.

It's been in our family

for four generations.

If you like it,

it will be yours someday.

You mean it?

Yes.

Have you looked inside?

It's quite beautiful!

- Haru, could you turn off the lights?

- Yes'm.

This is the living room.

All the furnishings were hand made

by a real furniture maker.

Isn't it wonderful?

Here's the library on the first floor.

There's even a bathroom.

But the next room

is my personal favorite.

Haru, could you open that up?

Let's see,

I think it opens this way.

Everything is so detailed!

Detailed and just like

the real thing.

That's a real oven.

You could use it for baking.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

What a pity Father's dream

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
