00:
05:11,257 -- 00:05:13,120
Haunted?
39
00:
05:19,510 -- 00:05:21,710
And it's all rotten!
40
00:
05:32,730 -- 00:05:34,503
It's gonna fall down!
41
00:
05:34,504 -- 00:05:36,910
Fall down!

06:11,250 -- 00:06:13,720
It's a camphor tree.
47
00:

00:
06:26,420 -- 00:06:27,920
Oops!
49
00:
06:30,180 -- 00:06:31,470
An acorn!
50
00:
06:33,810 -- 00:06:35,717
Show me.
51
00:
06:35,718 -- 00:06:38,000
Another one!
52
00:
06:43,420 -- 00:06:45,510
It's mine.
53
00:
06:50,870 -- 00:06:54,160
Out of the way, I can't open the screens.
54
00:
06:54,165 -- 00:06:55,329
Acorns!
55
00:
06:55,330 -- 00:06:57,861
There's acorns in the house.
56
00:
06:57,862 -- 00:07:00,310
They dropped from up there!
57
00:
07:03,876 -- 00:07:07,259
Maybe there are squirrels in here.
58
00:
07:07,260 -- 00:07:09,214
Squirrels?!
59
00:
07:09,369 -- 00:07:12,740
Or rats, they like acorns too.
60
00:
07:12,900 -- 00:07:14,930
I'd rather have squirrels!
61
00:
07:15,038 -- 00:07:17,440
Where shall I put this?
62
00:
07:17,441 -- 00:07:19,800
Here, I'll get the door for you.
63
00:
07:19,801 -- 00:07:21,818
Satsuki, would you open the back door?
64
00:
07:21,819 -- 00:07:22,695
Yes!
65
00:
07:22,696 -- 00:07:24,440
You should be able to find it.
66
00:
07:26,701 -- 00:07:28,360
Come on!
67
00:
07:29,395 -- 00:07:31,440
Wait for me!
68
00:
07:32,531 -- 00:07:34,550
Hurry!
69
00:
08:12,037 -- 00:08:13,630
I'm going in.
70
00:
08:25,590 -- 00:08:27,270
The bath...
71
00:
08:32,850 -- 00:08:34,610
There's nothing here.
72
00:
08:36,373 -- 00:08:37,842
That's the bathroom.
73
00:
08:37,843 -- 00:08:39,732
Father, there's something in here.
74
00:
08:39,733 -- 00:08:40,596
A squirrel?
75
00:
08:40,597 -- 00:08:41,667
Dunno.
76
00:
08:41,668 -- 00:08:45,558
A bunch of black things but not roaches or mice.
77
00:
08:45,559 -- 00:08:47,380
Really?
78
00:
08:58,692 -- 00:08:59,990
Can you see 'em?
79
00:
09:01,570 -- 00:09:01,169
Note:
Makkuro Kurosuke - pitch-black blackie
80
00:
09:01,170 -- 00:09:03,593
It must be Makkuro Kurosuke.
81
00:
09:03,594 -- 00:09:06,178
Makkuro Kurosuke?
Like in my picture book?
82
00:
09:06,179 -- 00:09:10,150
That's right. Ghosts don't come out on days like this.
83
00:
09:15,101 -- 00:09:17,737
When you walk into a dark room from outside,
84
00:
09:17,738 -- 00:09:20,856
your eyes dim and so Makkuro Kurosuke come out.
85
00:
09:20,857 -- 00:09:22,620
Oh, I see.
86
00:
09:22,679 -- 00:09:25,960
Makkuro Kurosuke, come on out!
87
00:
09:25,961 -- 00:09:30,340
Or we'll poke your eyeballs out!
88
00:
09:34,897 -- 00:09:36,132
Let's get to work!
89
00:
09:36,133 -- 00:09:40,050
See if you can find
how to get upstairs.
90
00:
09:40,975 -- 00:09:44,207
Get up there and open all the windows.
91
00:
09:44,208 -- 00:09:45,399
Sure!
92
00:
09:45,400 -- 00:09:47,310
I'm coming, too!
93
00:
09:55,530 -- 00:09:57,380
Toilet!
94
00:
09:59,200 -- 00:10:00,530
Not here!
95
00:
10:03,160 -- 00:10:05,827
Not here!
96
00:
10:08,670 -- 00:10:11,240
Not here!
97
00:
10:14,672 -- 00:10:16,120
Not here!
98
00:
10:17,930 -- 00:10:19,090
Nothing here!
99
00:
10:19,640 -- 00:10:21,210
Nothing!
100
00:
10:30,940 -- 00:10:33,330
Mei, it's here!
101
00:
10:39,740 -- 00:10:41,360
It's pitch black!
102
00:
10:41,450 -- 00:10:43,340
Makkuro Kurosuke!
103
00:
10:51,420 -- 00:10:52,910
Another acorn.
104
00:
10:59,050 -- 00:11:03,020
Makkuro Kurosuke, come out!
105
00:
11:42,220 -- 00:11:45,960
Are you there, Makkuro Kurosuke?
106
00:
12:11,540 -- 00:12:15,669
Father, there's definitely something here!
107
00:
12:15,670 -- 00:12:17,310
That's exciting!
108
00:
12:17,420 -- 00:12:21,920
I've always wanted to live in a haunted house.
109
00:
12:24,680 -- 00:12:25,860
I'm coming!
110
00:
13:11,350 -- 00:13:13,930
I got it. Sis!
111
00:
13:27,291 -- 00:13:28,400
Mei.
112
00:
13:38,893 -- 00:13:41,089
You're full of energy!
113
00:
13:41,090 -- 00:13:46,259
This is Granny. She's come to look after the house.
114
00:
13:46,260 -- 00:13:49,429
I'm Satsuki and this is my sister, Mei.
Nice to meet you.
115
00:
13:49,430 -- 00:13:52,480
Nice to meet you both.
116
00:
13:52,560 -- 00:13:59,100
I'd have cleaned up
if I'd known you'd be this quick.
117

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
