Hand-drawn look of Oscar nominee 'Princess Kaguya' stands apart from Hollywood's digital focus
In this Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015 photo, Japanese animated film director Isao Takahata arrives for an interview about his latest film "The Tale of The Princess Kaguya" at his office, Studio Ghibli, in suburban Tokyo. The princess laughs and floats in sumie-brush sketches of faint pastel, a lush landscape that animated film director Isao Takahata has painstakingly depicted to relay his gentle message of faith in this world. But his Oscar-nominated work stands as a stylistic challenge to Hollywood’s computer-graphics cartoons, where 3D and other digital finesse dominate. Takahata says those terms with a little sarcastic cough. The 79-year-old co-founder of Japan’s prestigious animator, Studio Ghibli, instead stuck to a hand-drawn look. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)
