User:Ilikecomputers/sandbox/How Do You Live? (anime): Difference between revisions

In July 2016, animation work was commenced, with Miyazaki starting work on the storyboards before the film's production was approved. Ghibli, struggling for direction after Miyazaki's [[Ten-Minute Retirement]] in 2013, reopened its previously shut animation department, and reached out to past contributors. The film was originally scheduled for release in 2020, coinciding with the Tokyo Olympics, although production issues pushed the release date back. In 2020, producer Toshio Suzuki revealed that thirty-six minutes of animation were complete, and that production is going slow due to the increased detail, more frames a second, and Miyazaki's age. Suzuki announced that, each month, only one minute of completed footage was produced. Note that theThe slow pace was not due to the [[COVID-19]] pandemic — which had little impact on the production of the film — but rather due to the lack of a deadline. It's clear that the studio has since sped up production, as in December 2022, Studio Ghibli announced that the film will be released in July 2023 in Japan. The film is 125 minutes long.
