    • Abstract:
      Producer Toshio Suzuki reflects on Hayao Miyazaki's decision to come out of retirement to make the film "The Boy and the Heron." Suzuki initially believed that they wouldn't be making any more films together after Miyazaki's retirement announcement, but after seeing the storyboards and Miyazaki's determination, he decided to support the project. "The Boy and the Heron" received critical acclaim and became the highest-grossing original Japanese animated film in North America. The film follows a young boy who enters an alternate world after losing his mother, and Miyazaki wanted to tell his life story through the film. Suzuki believes that if Miyazaki hadn't made this film, he wouldn't have been able to die a happy man. [Extracted from the article]
