Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese filmmaker who earned his world fame from critics as well as public recognition within Japan by the entertaining plots, attracting characters and breathtaking(令人惊奇的) animation in his films. He has brought us My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. He announced his retirement in 2013. His final feature-length movie was The Wind Rises, the story of Japanese aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi.

But this week, a NHK television special called The Man Who Is Not Done: Hayao Miyazaki, said that he is devoting to finish another feature-length film. That means he is back into the film field again.

Because it takes him about five years to complete his greater work, Miyazaki said in the TV special that he will be nearly 80 by the time this film is completed―hopefully in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. He also joked that hopefully he’ll be alive after the production is completed. “I think it’s still better to die when you are doing something than dying when you are doing nothing,” he said.

At the same time, Miyazaki’s work on shorter films for the Ghibli Museum will be put on hold. His 12-minute film about a tiny caterpillar will be completed in the coming year, which was planned to finish this year.
