Me, who still hasn't watched Howl's Moving Castle: Put some hairclips on your messy bangs!
The best reason why to not use Ai Art. By Draw like a Sir
What?... "It wouldn't make sense for The Legend of Zelda to be in Studio Ghibli's style"??????? You mean the game franchise about exploring natural landscapes, that Miyamoto said he based off his childhood spent exploring forests and caves...and the anime studio famous for their environmentally conscious story themes and focus on depicting nature...? THOSE TWO THINGS WOULDN'T MESH??????????????

Already seeing people say that the reason they wanted 'Heron to win was because they thought it would be Miyazaki's last movie. NEVER BELIEVE THAT MAN WHEN HE SAYS HE'LL RETIRE! HE ALREADY SAID HE'D RETIRE THREE TIMES BEFORE!!! And a Studio Ghibli animator at the 51st Annie Awards already said they saw Miyazaki working on a new project that will likely become ANOTHER movie. And a Forbes article corroborates that. I'm telling you, Miyazaki is an animated film storyteller to his bones! That man cannot NOT do animated storytelling. And he'll always have the clout to make full-length movies, whenever he wants.
I just really wish, that if the Oscars really are just a marketing device and a record for posterity of a specific year's zeitgeist, then the awards go to movies/performers more specific to the year that the Oscar award says that they are labelled for. And to movies, studios, and performers who actually need that marketing push. 'Heron literally had posters that only said Miyazaki's name and that was enough to confidently carry the entire marketing campaign in Japan.
Miyazaki will always make more of his films, and they will always be the same level of impressive skill, in the same impressive style. I don't ever doubt that.
Across The Spiderverse and Nimona were more indicative of 2023.
The Oscars just keep doing this. They give awards to someone's entire body of work, when they feel an actor has been snubbed too many times, even though someone else's performance in the specific year that the award is supposed to be for, was much better than the specific performance of that same specific year of the legacy-snubbed actor/director/etc. And I always feel really bad for the actually snubbed actor whose performance for that specific year was actually much better, because so many coincidences of skill and pertinence to the cares of society for the specific year being cited, have to happen. That may be the one best performance an actor/director/writer/etc. may have, and it may reflect that specific year's point in Time, much better than the overall legacy of a long-snubbed actor. This is why I've thought for a while that the Oscars should give more lifetime achievement awards, or make a similar award that doesn't have to wait for someone to have lived the minimum average lifespan, before all their frequent nominations and snubs get recognized.
