on April 23, 25, 27, and May 2.
Tyler Treese: Spirited Away is one of the most acclaimed and beloved anime movies. Tell me about your history with the film. When did you first see it and when did you first get this idea that it could be turnedWell, I’ve loved the Miyazaki films all my adult life. I’ve seen them as they’ve come out, largely because I have three half-Japanese children and my wife, Maoko [Imai] was a passionate lover of the Ghibli output. So our children watched them from a very young age.
When I met Miyazaki at Ghibli Studios, I had a lovely, delightful meeting with Hayao and Toshio Suzuki. I made my little pitch, which was just two or three minutes of just talking about how I imagined how exciting I thought it could be in a theater. And Miyazaki just smiled and said, “Okay, go for it.” I said, “What, really?” And then he said, “How the hell are you going to do it?” [Laugh]. That’s the moment I thought, “Oh my God, I’ve got to do it now.
You’ve been doing such great work in Japan for decades now. You spoke a little bit about the theater scene there, how they do more shows. What has really stood out about that specific region and their theater scene compared to England and elsewhere that you’ve worked?
