On this past Sunday, Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's premier animated film director officially announced his retirement.Thank you Miyazaki-san for all the laughter, tears, and dreams you have given us, not to mention the inspiration, and all the little characters, from the dust gremlins to Totoro, and even the house that I would so much like to live in. Thank you for giving so many of us the opportunity to be kids again. Sometimes it is good to rest however.
