    Hayao Miyazaki is a brand name, a guarantee of quality. The first time I watched his work was a TV series Heidi, Girl of the Alps. He is responsible of scene design and layout.

    The younger generation knows all about the characters Ruby.

    Linda, It takes an exceptional talent to push a studio to the heights that Ghibli has reached. He will leave a legacy.
