Hayao Miyazaki one of Time’s most influential people of 2024

By on April 18, 2024

Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki is among Time’s 100 most influential people of 2024, according to the list published by the U.S. magazine Wednesday.

Recalling earlier works of Miyazaki, Oscar-winning director and producer Del Toro writes in Time, “Encountering My Neighbor Totoro as an adult, my mind snapped back to those earlier works, and I recognized how much this man had shaped my childhood.”

Del Toro refers to Miyazaki as one of his top 10 favorite storytellers in any audiovisual medium.

Miyazaki whose work he describes, “provokes that rare emotion—the shiver of recognition of a type of beauty that is impossible in the real world and thus exists only in his films.

“He is entirely genuine. A one-of-a-kind creator who exists fully in his art. He is the single most influential animation director in the history of the medium,” adds Del Torre.
