No, you've done plenty.

118

00:
14:01,690 -- 00:14:07,170

Lately I've been so busy in the rice paddies,

I only did a bit of dusting...

119

00:
14:08,454 -- 00:14:11,119

What have you done to your hands?

120

00:
14:11,120 -- 00:14:13,499

Makkuro Kurosuke got away...

121

00:
14:13,500 -- 00:14:15,530

Your feet, too!

122

00:
14:20,500 -- 00:14:22,370

Mine are black, too!

123

00:
14:30,699 -- 00:14:33,019

Those must be from soot sprites.

124

00:
14:33,020 -- 00:14:34,527

Soot sprites?

125

00:
14:34,528 -- 00:14:39,209

Those little, black, fuzzy things that fly?

126

00:
14:39,210 -- 00:14:40,680

That's right.

127

00:
14:40,824 -- 00:14:44,069

They breed in empty old houses,

128

00:
14:44,070 -- 00:14:47,910

and cover them with soot and dust.

129

00:
14:48,870 -- 00:14:52,150

I could see them when I was little.

130

00:
14:52,490 -- 00:14:56,289

Now you can too, huh?

131

00:
14:56,290 -- 00:14:57,880

Are they like goblins or something?

132

00:
14:58,380 -- 00:15:02,459

Nah, nothing so scary.

133

00:
15:02,460 -- 00:15:08,750

If you keep smiling,

they'll soon leave the house.

134

00:
15:09,510 -- 00:15:13,760

They're probably deciding

where to go next, right now.

135

00:
15:19,520 -- 00:15:21,479

Mei, they're going away.

136

00:
15:21,480 -- 00:15:22,519

That's no fun.

137

00:
15:22,520 -- 00:15:25,529

What happens if a huge one comes out, like this?

138

00:
15:25,530 -- 00:15:27,109

I'm not scared!

139

00:
15:27,110 -- 00:15:31,440

Okay then, I won't walk you to the bathroom at night.

140

00:
15:33,080 -- 00:15:38,329

Okay, cleaning time.

Could you get some water from the stream?

141

00:
15:38,330 -- 00:15:39,419

From the stream?

142

00:
15:39,420 -- 00:15:40,930

I'm coming, too!

143

00:
15:44,421 -- 00:15:46,060

Mei, wait there.

144

00:
15:55,584 -- 00:15:57,380

Did you get a fish?

145

00:
16:09,123 -- 00:16:11,319

Granny, it's coming out!

146

00:
16:11,620 -- 00:16:16,598

Good, keep pumping 'til the water gets cold.

147

00:
16:16,599 -- 00:16:18,160

Okay!

148

00:
16:59,920 -- 00:17:03,600

Oh, it's you.

May I help you?

149

00:
17:04,060 -- 00:17:07,650

F-From my Mom... for Granny.

150

00:
17:08,930 -- 00:17:10,320

Yes?

151

00:
17:16,150 -- 00:17:18,070

Wait, what is it?

152

00:
17:18,860 -- 00:17:20,810

Is that you, Kanta?

153

00:
17:22,400 -- 00:17:28,119

You live in a haunted house!

154

00:
17:28,120 -- 00:17:30,090

Kanta!

155

00:
17:39,500 -- 00:17:42,589

I did the same kind of thing when I was his age.

156

00:
17:42,658 -- 00:17:44,528

I hate boys.

157

00:
17:44,529 -- 00:17:47,790

But I really love Granny's rice cakes!

158

00:
17:48,116 -- 00:17:50,190

Eat as much as you want.

159

00:
17:50,810 -- 00:17:52,420

Thank you!

160

00:
17:55,310 -- 00:17:57,340

Thank you very much for your help.

161

00:
17:58,480 -- 00:18:00,680

Goodbye!

162

00:
19:15,250 -- 00:19:18,570

Father, the house is going to fall down.

163

00:
19:20,500 -- 00:19:23,810

I hope not, we've only just moved in.

164

00:
19:58,560 -- 00:20:02,090

Come on, let's laugh to keep the bogeymen away!

165

00:
20:04,044 -- 00:20:06,240

I'm not scared.

166

00:
20:07,239 -- 00:20:09,310

I mean it. I'm not scared!

167

00:
20:52,900 -- 00:20:55,501

One-two, one-two.

168

00:
20:55,502 -- 00:20:56,263

One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, one...

169

00:
20:56,264 -- 00:20:59,840

Come on, keep up the good work...

170

00:
21:04,860 -- 00:21:07,990

Okay! Washing finished!

171

00:
21:17,267 -- 00:21:19,690

Here we go!

172

00:
21:36,280 -- 00:21:38,900

Granny!

173

00:
21:39,410 -- 00:21:41,449

Hello!

174

00:
21:41,450 -- 00:21:43,210

Hard at work?

175

00:
21:43,500 -- 00:21:46,263

Where're you all heading?

176

00:
21:46,264 -- 00:21:49,180

To visit Mommy in the hospital!

177

00:
21:49,258 -- 00:21:54,550

That's nice.

Give her my regards!

178

00:
21:54,551 -- 00:21:56,140

Ok!

179

00:
22:12,244 -- 00:22:14,140

This way.

180

00:
22:41,140 -- 00:22:42,128

Hello.

181

00:
22:42,129 -- 00:22:43,520

Hello there.

182

00:
22:45,230 -- 00:22:46,349

Mommy!

183

00:
22:46,350 -- 00:22:48,979

So glad you came, Mei.

184

00:
22:48,980 -- 00:22:51,439

Father took the wrong road.

185

00:
22:51,440 -- 00:22:54,229

Really? Hello.

186

00:
22:54,230 -- 00:22:56,069

Today is the Harvest Holiday.

187

00:
22:56,070 -- 00:22:57,569

How nice.

188

00:
22:57,570 -- 00:23:00,279

Father is talking to the doctor.

189

00:
23:00,280 -- 00:23:02,779

It's so good to see you all.

190

00:
23:02,780 -- 00:23:05,990

Have you settled into the new house?

191

00:
23:11,540 -- 00:23:13,140

A haunted house?

192

00:
23:13,750 -- 00:23:16,089

Mom, do you like ghosts?

193

00:
23:16,090 -- 00:23:19,549

Of course I do!

I can't wait to see them.

194

00:
23:19,550 -- 00:23:21,250

See, I told you Mei.

195

00:
23:22,050 -- 00:23:25,719

Mei was worried that you wouldn't like ghosts.

196

00:
23:25,720 -- 00:23:27,019

What about you two?

197

00:
23:27,020 -- 00:23:27,929

I love them!

198

00:
23:27,930 -- 00:23:30,070

I'm not scared of them!

199

00:
23:32,190 -- 00:23:34,819

Are you fixing Mei's hair, Satsuki?

200

00:
23:34,820 -- 00:23:36,029

Yeah.

201

00:
23:36,030 -- 00:23:39,140

It's really good.

Lucky girl, Mei.

202

00:
23:39,990 -- 00:23:42,199

But she always gets mad at me.

203

00:
23:42,200 -- 00:23:44,079

That's 'cuz you won't stay still.

204

00:
23:44,080 -- 00:23:46,250

Come here, Satsuki.

205

00:
23:46,660 -- 00:23:48,539

Isn't yours too short?

206

00:
23:48,540 -- 00:23:49,869

No, I like it like this.

207

00:
23:49,870 -- 00:23:52,028

Mine too, mine too!

208

00:
23:52,029 -- 00:23:53,390

Wait your turn!

209

00:
23:53,460 -- 00:23:58,379

Wavy hair, just like mine when I was your age.

210

00:
23:58,380 -- 00:24:02,320

Will it be like yours when I grow up?

211

00:
24:02,760 -- 00:24:06,590

Probably. You take after your Mom.

212

00:
24:24,160 -- 00:24:26,171

Mom looked really well.

213

00:
24:26,172 -- 00:24:30,350

You're right. The doctor says she'll be home soon.

214

00:
24:30,710 -- 00:24:32,619

Soon? Like tomorrow?

215

00:
24:32,620 -- 00:24:34,839

There she goes again with "tomorrow".

216

00:
24:34,840 -- 00:24:37,299

Tomorrow is a little too soon.

217

00:
24:37,300 -- 00:24:40,549

Mother says she wants

to sleep together with me again.

218

00:
24:40,550 -- 00:24:44,759

Weren't you saying you're big enough to sleep alone?

219

00:
24:44,760 -- 00:24:47,000

Mom is special!

220

00:
25:08,450 -- 00:25:12,530

Father, time to get up!

221

00:
25:14,540 -- 00:25:15,709

Hey!

222

00:
25:15,710 -- 00:25:18,370

Wake up!

223

00:
25:23,550 -- 00:25:25,259

Sorry, I overslept again...

224

00:
25:25,260 -- 00:25:27,400

I've got to bring a box lunch today.

225

00:
25:27,600 -- 00:25:30,059

I totally forgot about it.

226

00:
25:30,060 -- 00:25:32,729

It's all right.

I've made something for all of us.

227

00:
25:32,730 -- 00:25:33,599

It's burning.

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…
