The director of the upcoming Legend of Zelda film is apparently aiming for a "live-action Miyazaki" kind of vibe.
Hayao Miyazaki is easily one of the most acclaimed animation directors ever. There are few directors that have a catalogue as extensive as his in animation, in no small part due to how long he's been doing this (and his refusal to truly retire), and several of his works are regarded as some of the best animated movies of all time. They're also so highly regarded because of the way they utilise animation, pulling off moments that stick with viewers for years; so it isn't a surprise that Wes Ball, director of the live-action Zelda film, wants to draw from Miyazaki, as he recently shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
According to EW, Ball describes his plans for the Zelda film as "this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn’t like Lord of the Rings, it’s its own thing. I've always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that." Here's the thing though: "live-action Miyazaki" as a statement is a bit of an oxymoron.
