The recent blurring line between reality and fantasy has fascinated audiences all across the globe by resulting in live-action adaptations dipped in animated scenes. It has become the new horizon for storytelling. This approach has been exhibited well in films likeSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Here, animations flow very seamlessly into a live-action setting and vice versa.

Now just imagine the untold magic that would emerge if the anime world gets onto this trend, staring at the legendary Hayao Miyazaki as animation director! It will certainly be a promising cinematic experience like no other, one that would break every record and redraw the future of anime.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Thoughts on The Recent Outgrowth of Live-Action X Animation Media

From aresurfaced interviewwith the world-renowned director Hayao Miyazaki, as he visited Toronto in 2002, we got to know his opinions on the evolving landscape of this kind of animation. Miyazaki reported that live-action elements were increasingly becoming a part of animation and generally going into dissolving the lines between the two mediums. His words reflected a future in which the word “animation” is going to be an all-encompassing term that would have its own various techniques and styles.

In a way now, live action is becoming part of that whole soup called animation. Animation has become a word that encompasses so much.

My animation is just a little tiny dot over in the corner. It’s plenty for me.

In this vast animation universe,Miyazaki believeshis influence on the medium is quite significant. His amusement was easily noticeable, as live-action/animation hybrids kept popping up with growing frequency. Miyazaki’s vision of an inclusive, boundary-pushing animation universe inspires generations of filmmakers, and his legacy reaches far beyond the tiny dot that he so modestly described.

Miyazaki’s animation style of traditional 2D has left an indelible mark on this industry. With much detailing and his focus on the hand-drawn technique, Miyazaki injected warmth and humanity into his films. His dedication to preserving traditional animation techniques inspired a new generation of artists.

Miyazaki, in the world of 2D animation, is simply unmatched in bringing landscapes as captured inNausicaa, or the whimsical world ofSpirited Away. The uniqueness of his storytelling and development of characters have raised the bar for the art form so high, with his skillful blends between fantasy and reality.

For many, this would be heaven to see a live-action collaboration with Miyazaki’s core hand-drawn animation. His ageless techniques blended with modern filmmaking will make for a completely eye-captivating experience. With Miyazaki at the helm, it would be epic for such a project to converge the best of both worlds into a cinematic masterpiece.
