Maybe this is the reason why Your Name got snubbed at The Oscars this yr


Is it this movie have a bad ending or plot holes? The answer is a big NO!!! The real reason of it is one thing: THE LACK OF MONEY. Click the link below to find out & read between the lines as what I'd just said, no need to explain more:

This is the sad part though but I hope that the distributors & creators of Your Name will be their moral lessons to learn especially that Makoto Shinkai, the director of this anime film will make his next movie project in the near future & I do believe it'll be the spin-off of Your Name on how his next film will make it to the Oscars & even win it. Maybe he need an advice or a helping hands to Hayao Miyazaki who have a years of experience on how some of his movie like Spirited Away & The Red Turtle made it to the Oscars. 😉

Once again Red Turtle isn't a Hayao Miyazaki film.

Raging Bull = Best movie

yes I know that but his company, Studio Ghibli is a co-production for that animated film.

And as what I just said maybe Makoto Shinkai might need a help to Mr. Hayao as part of his reference on his next project even though he'll be just an advisor or doesn't need his studio company [Ghibli] to co-produce it, if he want to submit his latest work to the Academy in the future. Surely that will give him a huge opportunity to recognize his work & the anime industry itself.

So what's the moral lesson on why The Red Turtle got an Oscar nod this year than Your Name? IMHO, here are the 3 reasons:

1) If you want a team or a group that you would like to produce an animated film & make it to the award giving bodies like the Oscars, Golden Globe, etc. then there should be a GREAT TEAMWORK, and not finding a *ahem* Playmakers *ahem* to work at it.

2) Resiliency is the key to success (i.e. if your animated film had no success on the mainstream market then do the other way around like word of mouth & expose to social media as an alternative)

3) Experience is the best teacher. No need to explain on that one.

But Hayao Miyazaki is not Studio Ghibli. Yes, Studio Ghibli was involved in the film but Miyazaki had absolutely no hand in it (I believe he is currently working on a short film). Studio Ghibli is more than just Miyazaki, in fact Miyazaki only directed about half of all Ghibli films. So just because the "Studio Ghibli" label is on something, does not mean that Miyazaki was involved in any way.
