Miyazaki is the legendary founder of Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli, and the director of many of its most popular and iconic films. The breakout film for Miyazaki in the west was Princess Mononoke, a fantasy film that displayed some of Miyazaki?s most persistent themes, most notably his pacifist and environmentalist leanings. His earlier works include the Lupin III film The Castle of Cogliostro, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which was an adaption of his own manga of the same name.
