Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese animation director, made a comeback after 10 years with the new feature-length animation 'The Heron and the Boy' following the reversal of his 2013 'retirement declaration.' The film won two Oscars in the U.S. and became Studio Ghibli's most popular work overseas. The movie's success abroad can be attributed to Miyazaki's unique storytelling, hand-drawn animation, and thought-provoking narratives that resonate with both children and adults. The use of traditional animation techniques in a digital era and the film's open-ended storytelling style have also contributed to its worldwide appeal.
