Studio Ghibli Without Hayao Miyazaki, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

According to CNN, the legendary animator, Hayao Miyazaki, retired from the company "Studio Ghibli." He had worked for this studio for approximately three decades and was even the co-founder. Studio Ghibli has stated that it will be "changing the way [they] make (animation)," which I personal find disappointing due to Miyazaki's work playing such a large part of my childhood. There were even talks of completely shutting down the firm. Even if the animation company did close, however, there are still all of the award winning movies created by the legendary Miyazaki. These movies include the likes of "Spirited Away," "My Neighbor Totoro," "Princess Mononoke," and "Howl's Moving Castle." Miyazaki's final film, "The Wind Rises" was submitted for Best Animated Feature Oscar, just proving how strong his animations are even after 30 years and against those who are considered the absolute best in the industry who use the newest techniques, while Hayao Miyazaki still uses the same techniques he used when he started. Miyazaki is the number one animator in the world in my personal opinion. His animations played a massive role in my childhood. His retirement will definitely change the face of animation forever.
