Goro Miyazaki wishes for both 2D and 3D projects

Hello all!

I wanted to make a little post that came from the Roger Ebert website, where they interviewed Goro Miyazaki about his new 3D CG film: Earwig and the Witch.

In the interview, they asked Goro about the future of 3D-animated films. This is what he had to say:

So, according to Goro, both hand-drawn and 3D will be mainstays with the studio! Win-win for all?

It's been my belief from the beginning that Ghibli branching out into 3D isn't a bad thing. I believe it won't affect the story at all, and any doubts should be directed at Goro as a director himself, since his track record is iffy depending on who you ask. The reviews that have come out pretty much say the same thing, where the faults are with the story rather than the animation.

I'd still implore you all to give this movie a chance, and that 2D Ghibli animation isn't over!

If only we'd get news on How Do You Live now...
