Previously I've seen a few mentions about the new film that state it will definitely be the caterpillar thing that got talked about a while ago, but I never saw a clear source. This isn't actually saying that either, but it does suggest that his new work is likely to be aimed at children.

It also suggests that this time he really means to make it his last. Of course, you never really know.

Now that Your Name has become such a great hit. it is quite interesting if it will have some effect. In my opinion it is quite possible that studio ghibli might not be a big thing now anyway.

And that article says that miyazaki was never a familiy person. To me its confusing that he said something like that.

For me i think it will be an irony if it is not considered something cool by the grandson himself. I have seen many examples where the gesture of someone is often downplayed by the person who it was intended.

I would have been more interested if it was another samurai as he was starting to draw. I dont think he has the mental ability nowadays to deliver something soft and pure for the kids. Ponyo was not in my opinion upto his mark. Although the caterpiller is kind of cool premise to work. I dont think it is possible as all the people in the studio left.

Still who knows maybe something awesome will happen, but i wont hope for it

this is kind of up-side down, under your pov the act of acceptance is the real gift.

The only example that I can give for myself is that when a grandchilds birthday or Christmas is approaching, I try to find out what that child is 'in to" from their mother or observation. Example was the latest b-day... Mommy said the X was "in to" unicorns so I was able to find a nice necklace and another small gift with a unicorn saying on it.

ah, but I mean, of course, cases where even less thought is given. like, let's give them this nice painting that I liked. or this nice nerf gun that I would love to have myself on my birthday, but since that never happened I will make it happen for someone else. things like that.

I understand what you're saying, makc

While I try to get some input on what the child wants, I usually just think about what the kid may want by his/her age, a young child would probably like something colorful/flashy and maybe even noisy (that part is usually aimed at the parents, lol)

In the past, I have usually just sent a visa gift card and let the child get what he/she wants with their parents helping.. The biggest reason for that is the expense of the gift giving on my budget. They live so far apart from me that this is costly to buy a gift and then have to mail it to them. And of course I try to be fair in my giving. I saw in my own kids the favoritism given to one child over another by their grandparents and I called them on it... "Oh no, we're not doing that, it just happens that one gift is costly and one is much much cheaper" Once in awhile I can see this happening, but not consistently over the years. And it wasn't just in the gifts, but the treatment...example: one child being taken on a mountain camping/hiking trip and the others, when they were the same age, simply ignored...

The child may not be aware of it, but it hurts the parent to see this. For that reason, I have tried as much as possible to treat ALL of my grandkids, and 2 nieces and nephew, as equally as it is in my power to do so, male or female. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do this with my Saudi grandchildren as I have wished, mainly by a misunderstanding of their cultural and religious mores over there. Also, a lack of a mailing address to send to. I still have given my love to them and they have returned it as much as has been possible. I once sent a 5-pound box of a candy that means something to them and I from our two chances of physical visiting with one another. That 5-pound box cost over $50 USD to send... This is an example of the tremendous cost of shipping to there, when I even had a postal address that I could address them to.

It does hurt that I cannot give to them as I have been able to give to my other grandchildren...

The age of 18 is when I give my last present to them all, as I did with my own children. I do send a card and my love, but as they get closer to 18, they are aware of this. I tell my children to not buy me anything in the nature of a gift and they usually comply. I figure that they have enough to deal with giving to their own kids and I know of their love and affection (I am so blessed, OK, my eyes are watering, time to stop).

Anyway, those are my sentiments.... Damn 'soggy eyeballs' (my kids nickname for their dad's tendency)...

I'm pleased. A full length "Boro" would not have interested me at all (I have never watched "Ponyo" ) but a film based on a piece of 1930s classic literature sounds much more intriguing, especially given the period in which it was written.

I'm actually happy it'll be something of more substance than the caterpillar. While Boro may have worked as a short, I was worried a full movie on it would lack the traditional Miyazaki epic scale.

I'm curious how the movie will turn out. It looks like it'll be similar to The Wind Rises in tone.

I'm very pleased to hear this.

I didn't really think it would be Boro the Caterpillar. So much time had passed since that was hinted, and if that was the plan I don't see why he wouldn't say more about it sooner. So I figured it would be something else, though I didn't particularly expect it would be another realistic film. Anyway, I think this sounds good.

__________________

lets see what happens, i thought that Boro will be awkward for him, but to make something similar to Wind Rises, hmm in my opinion that is not going to be very different. The Wind Rises has already all the message he wanted to give. i dont see anything he can add more. And japanese people live a long life, so him being dead although definitely possible but not a certainty.

and @makc thanks for sharing the info, you have been adding great content to the site

There is a reason people get angry at you. You can help yourself by changing how you behave.

You are quite right, there is a reason, but that reason is within you

In the Akkosa Sutta, a man named Akkosa found out that one of his clansmen had just become a disciple of the Buddha. Outraged, Akkosa went to the Buddha to give the Buddha a piece of his mind – he hurled abuse and insults at the Buddha, telling the Buddha what he thought of him in no uncertain terms.

The Buddha was unmoved in the slightest by this barrage of insults and just asked a question in return:

“Do you sometimes receive visitors as guests?”

“Yes I do” replied Akkosa.

“And when they come, do you offer them food and drink and courtesies?” asked the Buddha.

“Yes, sometimes I do” Akkosa said.

“So what if your guests don’t accept what you offer to them – where do the food, drink and courtesies return to?”

“They return to me of course!” Akkosa answered.

“Akkosa, you came here today, hurling insults and abuse at me. I do not accept what you have offered. So where do these insults and abuse return?”

The point of this story here is, be more like Buddah. Suck it up and post more cool stuff.

Come on kids, settle down. If you can't stop derailing threads by arguing then I'll have to remove posts so we can get back on track.



Any other opinions regarding Miyazaki's new film? How long do you think it'll actually take before it's completed?
