Hayao Miyazaki’s Next Movie Is Still 3 To 4 Years Away WhenHayao Miyazakicomes back from retirement (again), he’s going to do itright. The animation legend has long had his hands in every detail of his productions, but as he nears 80, you would perhaps expect him to take it easy or slow down just a little. Nope.
