Animation Quote by Hayao Miyazaki
“I intend to work until the day I die. I retired from feature-length films but not from animation. Self-indulgent animation. It's nice that I have the mini-theater in the museum. Most of the museum visitors attend the mini-theater screenings and we've never had a complaint about the quality of the films. I'd like to continue to make films that leave the audience satisfied, but I also think it's pointless unless I offer them the kind of animation they can't get anywhere else. They're fun to do. They're short so it's less stressful.”

We depict hatred, but it is…” quote by Hayao Miyazaki](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e3b/hayao-miyazaki-3768_happy-ending_pitching-the-proposal-for-mononoke-hime_19924.jpg)
