wow, Miyazaki is in a school related web database!
i have this stupid thing called StudyIsland we have to do every week in computer lab and i found this article about Hayao Miyazaki in one of the assignments:

Hayao Miyazaki, aka the Japanese Walt Disney, is one of the greatest animators and directors in Japan. The entertaining plots, compelling characters and breathtaking animation in his films have earned him international renown from critics as well as public recognition within Japan. Disney's commitment to introduce the films to the rest of the world will let more people appreciate the high-quality works Miyazaki has given us.
Hayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. He started his career in 1963 as an animator at the studio Toei Douga, and was subsequently involved in many early classics of Japanese animation. From the beginning, he commanded attention with his incredible ability to draw, and the seemingly-endless stream of movie ideas he proposed.
In 1971, he moved to A Pro Animation with Isao Takahata, then to Nippon Animation in 1973, where he was heavily involved in the World Masterpiece Theater TV animation series for the next five years. In 1978, he directed his first TV series, "Mirai shônen Conan" (1978) (Conan, The Boy in Future), then moved to Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first movie, the classic Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (1979). In 1984, he released Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds (1984), based on the manga (comic) of the same title he had started two years before. The success of the film led to the establishment of a new animation studio, Studio Ghibli, at which Miyazaki has since directed, written, and produced many other films with Takahata. All of these films enjoyed critical and box office successes. In particular, Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke (1999) received the Japan Academy Award for Best Film and was universally praised by critics in the U.S. However, in 2001, Miyazaki topped Princess Mononoke with Spirited Away, which eventually surpassed Titanic as the highest-grossing movie in Japanese film history.


last i checked, schools didn't include anime in their lesson plans, even if it was just for some summerizing text question.

other then finding this article in school nothing really wierd/exciting/fun happened today.
