Nayao Miyazaki

Oh man! i love his work,it is just amazing i was reading a book by Helen McCarthy, title " nayao miyazaki Master of japansese Animation" and in the chapter Nausicaa of the valley of wind,i notes down the following:-

• he inspired by:-
  
  
  
  • Issac Asimo's - Nightfall
  
  
  • Brian Aldiss's -Hothouse
  
  
  • Ursula Le Guin's-Earthsea books
  
  
  • J.R.R. Tolkein's -Lord of the rigns
  
  
  
  


• Nasicaa of the valley of wind of often compared with Frank herbert's -dume for the very similar looking large insects



• McCarthy(2002,pp 76)states that Miyazaki feels that nature is the source of intresting involving storis.


• McCarthy(2002,pp 76) highlight an article in Hong kong magazine A-club, according to which Miyazaki said"only if nature exists can mankind exist, so only nature makes wars and all those other moving stories possible.Because of this, I don't feel interested in outer space movies, since there's noting much in space but darkness.So all my animation and comics involve land,Sea and Sky- they all revolve around what happens on Earth".
