It seems that the next film from Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli will be Tales from Earthsea based on the book series by Ursula K. Le Guin called Earthsea (never heard of it). This is so exciting, Miyazaki's films are on my why i am happy to be alive list. There are very few works that appeal to children and adults while not making me either a) puke or b) snicker at the pandering to adults (see Shrek for this phenomena). I don't know how Miyazaki does it but his films have a magical aura about them that i can never really describe. After watching a bunch of his films, i can explain in technical terms the re-occurring troupes and themes but that really wouldn't explain why his films are so special.
*Also TCM has began showing Miyazaki films every Thursday night this month, i would highly recommend checking out the Miyazaki Fest. *
*Also Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan.
