With Hayao Miyazaki’s ultimate movie The Boy and the Heron proving to be — oh, wait, it received’t be his final? In information that ought to shock nobody who has adopted the legendary director’s profession, it has been introduced that Hayao Miyazaki will certainly not be retiring.
In a Twitter/X post, the official Studio Ghibli Photos web page wrote the next: “Hayao Miyazaki is not going to be retiring in any case.

Hayao Miyazaki has been chatting retirement on and off for fairly a while now. It was virtually a operating joke, however now that the Studio Ghibli founder is in his 80s, this time it felt about as actual because it might — till the subsequent time, at the least.

Regardless of the minimal promotion — we had been just about left with stills till a teaser popped up a number of days in the past — hype for The Boy and the Heron was extremely robust primarily based on Hayao Miyazaki’s status alone. Actually, there was so little to go on however fortunately TIFF had the next: “Visually, the movie exhibits Miyazaki on the top of his powers, filling the body with attractive compositions, vibrant color, and arresting motion. Because it attracts you deeper into its mysteries, The Boy and the Heron turns into richer, stranger, and extra profoundly stunning. It is a singular, transformative expertise in movie, and to not be missed.”
The Boy and the Heron is Hayao Miyazaki’s first function in a decade, along with his most up-to-date being 2013’s The Wind Rises, whose personal launch additionally prompted the director to announce his retirement. That film earned him a profession third Oscar nomination for Finest Animated Characteristic, following Howl’s Transferring Fort and the 2003 winner, Spirited Away (take that, Treasure Planet!). Exterior of Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli earned nods for The Story of the Princess Kaguya (2013) and The Purple Turtle (2016).
