The Two Walt Disney’s Did you know that there is more than one Walt Disney? That not just America has one but Japan as well? Well there is and his name is Hayao Miyazaki. He is the greatest anime artist in Japan just like Walt Disney is in America, which in their skills is very different in comparison. Walt Disney based his films on familiar fairytales that people have already created, but just switched into the way he wanted them to be while Hayao Miyazaki based his films on his own imagination and his own ideas about what he thinks kids should be watching. He wanted kids to go beyond their imagination and explore what’s around them. Sure, Disney did the same but the difference is Hayao wanted them to forget about reality completely and instead …show more content…

He gives kids a wild imagination more than Disney because Disney makes their movies based more on reality with a twist and fairytales that children and adults have known for a while throughout their years. It is nice to see your fairytales come to life, but it’s something you already know about that’s why people need to notice something different and unique that no child or adult would ever think was possible, and that somehow while watching Hayao’s Movies kids will see an opportunity for new things. He will make kids think out of the box of creatures that never seemed to of wake up from their hiding places and once they do people all over the world will wonder why they never were there in the first place. Disney does also inspire kids to draw as well I’m an example actually when I was younger I adored Disney Movies watched almost all of them and started to draw some of his characters like marie from “aristocrats” and mickey, but later on once I got older and watched for the first time one of Hayao Miyazaki’s films called, “Kiki’s Delivery Service” I learned for one thing that unlike Disney’s choice of a witch there are good ones as well not all of them are ugly, vicious, and want to eat kids or kill. After that I started watching more of his films and noticed how detailed the drawings were and how some characters seemed weird and different then Walt …show more content…

When people watch his films there is never a guy who is truly bad but confused and once they figure out what’s bugging them according if they want to change their attitude they will act nicer and seem to almost glow, while Disney films they will always seem to destroy the bad guy completely and won’t at least give the person a second chance or give them a reason to even want to change their ways of evil. One example is Disney’s movie, “Aladdin” and in the first movie the villain is alive but in a magic lamp at the end, but in the second movie he gets destroyed in lava. Kind of sad if you ask me sure he was a bad guy off to destroying the world he could have turned nice later on if the main characters tried hard enough. Hayao doesn’t really believe in violence and action even though one of his films, “Princess Monomoke” was probably the most intense film he’s ever created, but what he believes is peace though his films. In Tom Gratti article Hayao explained that his aim was to “quiet tings down a little bit; don’t just bombard them with noise and distraction. And to follow the path of children’s emotions and feelings as we make a film. If you stay true to joy and astonishment and empathy you don’t have to have violence and you don’t have to have action. They’ll follow you”. (Gratti). Hayao Miyazaki’s characters are confusing but in a good way they make people think
