Just as visionary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki wins awards for his latest feature animation 'The Boy and the Heron' (2023), Imo and James decide to conduct a curated retrospective of the Studio Ghibli canon.  Picking their favourites from the director's oeuvre (and yes, it's their own subjective choices!), the anime addicts discuss their first steps into the magical world(s) of Miyazaki. They explore the now classic Ghibli themes of childhood, environmentalism, metaphysics, and love in a film from each of the last four decades: 'My Neighbour Totoro' (1988), 'Princess Mononoke' (1997), 'Spirited Away' (2001), and 'Arrietty' (2010). What is the spirit of Miyazaki? And will it be conjured again in his newest amazing animation?

A world of sprites and spirits encountered by childhood sisters in the 1988 animated feature film by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) and Studio Ghibli has become a hit stage adaptation for the Royal Shakespeare Company. The original composer Joe Hisaishi worked with playwright Tom Morton-Smith and Director Phelim McDermott and the production returns to the Barbican this autumn. Chris Harding and guests look at how this story of Totoro relates to Japanese beliefs about ghosts and nature, and how Miyazaki used ideas of childhood innocence to critique post-War Japanese society. Chris Harding is joined by the playwright Tom Morton-Smith, Michael Leader from the podcast Ghiblioteque, Dr Shiro Yoshioka, Lecturer in Japanese Studies at the University of Newcastle, and Dr Xine Yao, co-director of qUCL at University College London, and a Radio 3/AHRC New Generation Thinker.

As the Olympics start in Tokyo, we're focusing on Japanese artists who are examining history, re-inventing tradition and telling new stories. Visual artist Meiro Koizumi tells presenter Mariko Oi about the importance of capturing lost war stories and his artistic take on the Olympic torch relay. Koizumi's prize-winning video installation The Angels of Testimony brings to life the darker side of Japanese history. Centred around a 99-year-old veteran's experiences of perpetrating violence in China during WWII, young people are filmed performing his shocking words on the streets of Tokyo. Studio Ghibli is one of the biggest names in animation, famous for films such as My Neighbour Totoro and the Oscar-winning Spirited Away. Since the company's founder Hayao Miyazaki retired in 2014, his son, Goro Miyazaki has emerged as a new leading creative force at the iconic Japanese anime house. Our reporter Anna Bailey speaks to Goro ahead of the release of his third film, Earwig and the Witch. Japanese singer Hatis Noit creates atmospheric, multi-layered music using her soulful voice. One of her most haunting tracks is the piece she created in response to the Fukushima disaster. She performed the piece, Inori, at a ceremony when many of the evacuated residents were allowed to return home. Hatis talks to Mariko about her belief in the power of the human voice and her musical tribute to Fukushima. As international teams gather in Tokyo to compete, one artistic project is representing more than 200 countries in the form of Kimono. Every traditional Japanese robe has been beautifully crafted to reflect the climate, culture and countryside of each place. Designer Maki Yamamoto speaks about the details and purpose of the Imagine One World Kimono Project.

This week, The Cultural Frontline explores family, legacy and creativity. Studio Ghibli is one of the biggest names in animation, famous for films such as The Wind Rises, My Neighbour Totoro and the Oscar winning Spirited Away. For years, Studio Ghibli was led by its co-founder, the visionary director, Hayao Miyazaki. Since Hayao‘s retirement in 2014 there have been changes at the iconic animation house, with the emergence of Hayao's son, Goro Miyazaki as a new leading force. Our reporter Anna Bailey speaks to Goro about the challenges of continuing his father's legacy and his new film Earwig and the Witch, a story about magic and family. Is there a work of art - a song, a poem or a film that makes you think of your family? The music producer Fatima al-Qadiri shares the story of how the soundtrack to her favourite game evokes the memories of her childhood in Kuwait during the First Gulf War. Two mothers determined to do what's right for their children. That simple premise is the starting point for the new novel What's Mine and Yours, a multigenerational story of race, family and identity in America by the acclaimed writer Naima Coster. Chi Chi Izundu speaks to Naima about how her novel was shaped by her experiences of childhood and motherhood. Family history, identity and voicing the challenges faced by young working class women, that's the focus of the poetry collection, Where the Memory Was, by British-Somali poet Hibaq Osman. For The Cultural Frontline, Hibaq shares the influences that shaped her writing and reads one of her poems. Presented by Chi Chi Izundu (Photo: Earwig and The Witch. Credit: Studio Ghibli)

Princess Mononoke, or Mononoke Hime to give it its Japanese name, could have been covered in February for the anniversary along with Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro or Spirited Away, but honestly I'm glad I can devote a whole regular-sized episode to it, because it's so jam-packed full of greatness. As much as I love all the aforementioned movies from the legendary writer/director Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke really is something more epic.It's more adult, more complex, more violent and graphic, and while Mr Miyazaki himself would never admit to it being a masterpiece, it truly is.With an English dub written by Neil Gaiman, it's widely considered one of the best translations of the original Japanese script. While Ghibli loved Gaiman's work, his name was removed from the credits and the U.S. release of Princess Mononoke was purposely ruined by real-life villain and nasty piece of work Harvey Weinstein, who gets mentioned several times just for being a massive a-hole when Disney appointed Miramax the distributor. No surprise there.Princess Mononoke, though, is a masterclass of character and world building, all encompassed in a beautiful shell of traditional animation, with the minimal of CGI (in places you wouldn't expect!) and doesn't actually have a true antagonist. Every character struggles with being consumed by hate, even the empathetic Ashitaka - one of few male lead characters featured in Miyazaki's stories, but who remains a force for good, despite the evil growing within him.We all have the power to co-exist with each other, and with the natural world. Now, more than ever, the demon of hate is threatening to consume modern society. Princess Mononoke might be set during feudal Japan, but its message of love, acceptance and co-existence is more relevant now than it has ever been.Whole Hog Theatre's incredible stage production of Princess Mononoke can be found hereJoshua Garrity's video can be found hereI would love to hear your thoughts on Princess Mononoke!

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney and with special guests Graham Day and Bríd Martin, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This year, we are proud to continue the tradition of Anime May, a fortnight looking at two of the animated Japanese films on the list. This year, we watched a double feature of Hayao Miyazaki's Tenkû no shiro Rapyuta and Hauru no ugoku shiro. We'll also be covering a bonus on a recent entry on the list, Naoko Yamada's Koe no katachi. This week, the first part of the double bill, Miyazaki's Tenkû no shiro Rapyuta, the first official Studio Ghibli film. Perhaps overshadowed by the movies either side of it - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind preceding it and My Neighbour Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies following it - Castle in the Sky is in some ways an archetypal Hayao Miyazaki film. What begins as a chance encounter between a lonely boy and a girl who falls to Earth evolves into a fable about the perils of militarism and the importance of environmentalism. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

The feature still stands the test of time and it's spotlight on Setsuko and Seita's journey is a tale that shouldn't be missed. I'm joined by the incredible Sean Mullen, one of the creative leads of Giant Animation. He recently co-directed The Overcoat, producing the CG portion of the short.

All aboard the Catbus, as Christopher and Dan meander their way through four films from the legendary Studio Ghibli, helped along the way by playful imp; Ersin Ali. First stop: MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO, also calling at: GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES, HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE, and finally WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE. It's the second in our 2016 Summer of Specials, and the boys are celebrating all things Ghibli to mark the apparent end of the studio's output. A bittersweet journey.

Så er TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN tilbage med endnu en vaskeægte klassiker, Hayao Miyazakis fantastiske Min nabo Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro / Tonari no Totoro, 1988).       Anime-, Miyazaki, Japan-eksperten Helen McCarthy er med via Skype, og Helen og jeg snakker om baggrunden for Totoro hvor den var en del af en dobbelt-feature med Isao Takahatas Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka) og hvordan Totoros succes voksede sig så stor at den blev logo for Studio Ghibli. Men vi dykker også ned i filmens brug af Shinto-religion og Japans kultur.       Sidst i podcasten kigger jeg nærmere på karakterdesign og animation af både de to hovedroller, pigerne Mei og Satsuki — samt selvfølgelig Totoro selv.Derfor ser episode 43 af TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN sådan ud:0:00:00 Intro0:04:09 Anmeldelse af Find Nemo blu-ray0:09:09 Interview med Helen McCarthy: My Neighbour Totoro vs.Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro-merchandise og Totoros voksende popularitet0:22:29 Interview fort.: Shinto-religion og japanske traditioner i Totoro0:36:31 Interview fort.: Totoro som dødsgud (en teori vi ikke tror på!)0:48:29 Karakterdesign + animation: Satsuki og Mei0:56:22 Karakterdesign + animation: Totoro1:02:36 OutroTak til...TEGNEFILMPODCASTENs temamusik er af tyske Beat.Bourdeaux.
