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…
