The recently retired Studio Ghibli founder and animation prodigy Hayao Miyazaki, is reported to be receive the honorary award at the sixth annual Governors Awards, on the 8th November 2014.
Arguably the most respected animator in Japan, Miyazaki broke the hearts of adoring fans as he announced his retirement from the industry last Spetember. At the age of 73, you have to give the guy some credit for his decision as he has been working tirelessly since founding Studio Ghibli in 1985. During that time he has given us amazing films such as SPIRITED AWAY, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO and HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE.
Other recipients to gain an award this year alongside Miyazaki are French Screenwriter, Jean-Claude Carriere and singer Harry Balafonte, whose music has featured in BEETLEJUICE.
