They are good at concealing connotations such as environmental protection, anti-war thinking and self-seeking in their works. The key character who makes the story more profound is the so-called "Golden Right Hand" of Ghibli. of Takahata. Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki met when they were employed by Toei Animation Company. The TV series "Little Angel" broadcasted in 1974 was directed by Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki as the screen composition. This animation is called a milestone in TV animation. However, because the ideal animation of the two must be able to deeply describe the psychology of the characters and reflect the joys and sorrows of life with rich expressiveness, this conclusion has become the driving force behind the creation of Studio Ghibli. Every work goes to great lengths, with the goal of creating a work that pays attention to detail and uncompromising, and Ghibli has maintained this policy for many years. Relying on the excellent ability of the two directors Takahata and Miyazaki, and the joint efforts of all the staff, Ghibli overcame various difficulties. "Nausicaa" was watched by 915,000 people when it was released in 1984, and "Castle in the Sky" was watched by 775,000 people when it was released in 1986. Both works have set off a boom in Japan and won great popularity. good review. **About Takahata** Since his fortune in the 1960s, he has led the development of Japanese animation across half a century, and is recognized as one of the greatest animation film directors in Japanese history. Growing up in Mie Prefecture, his father Takahata Asajiro became the principal of Okayama No. 1 Middle School in 1943. The whole family moved with his father. A war broke out that year. The city of Okayama where he was located was hit by an air raid, and he was separated from his family for a time during the evacuation process. Great influence. Takahata, who is now famous for his animation works all over the world, actually graduated from the French Department of the University of Tokyo. Joined the animation industry in 1959, after graduating from university, he joined the Toei Animation Company and began to produce a feature-length animated film every year. In 1961, the first animated film "Anshou and Chef Wang Maru" was officially launched. Takahata, who served as an assistant, wanted to simultaneously perform production work with very different backgrounds in "animation film" and "TV animation". In 1968, Takahata For the first time, Yao took on the responsibility of directing and directed "Prince of the Sun: The Great Adventure of Halls". For the first time, he constructed a complex world view in an animated film. Although it is a fantasy style of Norse mythology, it has joined the ideology under the theme of common resistance to the enemy. , showing the inner conflicts and struggles of the characters, as well as the conflicts caused by different positions, sparked heated discussions among young men and women, and became an epoch-making work in the history of Japanese animation. It was also because the film became associated with Toshio Suzuki, who was the editor of "Animage" magazine at the time. In addition to epic themes with a grand pattern, Takahata is also good at describing people's daily life. After Takahata left Toei Animation, he went to "A Production" to continue his creative path. Together with Hayao Miyazaki, he joined the TV animation production team of "Lupin the Third: The City of Cagliostro". China and Japan established diplomatic relations the next year. The gift, which symbolizes the friendship between China and Japan, was sent to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, setting off a panda craze among the whole people. Taking advantage of this upsurge, Takahata served as the director, Miyazaki wrote the script, and the two worked together to produce two short animations, "Panda Family" and "Panda Family: The Circus in the Rain", which were widely echoed. Takahata has also produced TV animations such as "Little Angel", "Looking for Mother in Thousand Miles", "Little Annie", "Little Trouble Thousand Benefits", and accompanied many people to grow up. The story realistically presents common people such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily life The details make the audience feel the charm and resonance from the ordinary daily life, and the animated characters do not have to be separated from reality in order to be welcomed by the audience. After the great success of "Nausicaa" and the discovery of the film score master Joe Hisaishi, Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki jointly established Studio Ghibli, and the adventurous action film "Castle in the Sky" once again aroused enthusiastic responses, and Takahata also enjoyed The opportunity to give full play to his talents has brought the sensational "Grave of the Fireflies", "Little Bits of Childhood" and "Heisei Tanuki War", all three works are presented in the narrative method of "extraction", allowing the audience to interact with the audience. All the characters on the stage keep a certain distance, and objectively examine the suffering of Japan during the war and the process of integrating with modern civilization after the war, so that the society can reconsider the behavior of human beings. Takahata loves to explore the way of animation creation and constantly challenges the limits of technology. His masterpiece "Hui Yao Ji Monogatari" challenges the production method of hand-painted lines combined with watercolor painting. Osamu Tanabe, the animator of "The Yamada-kun next door", and Kazuo Oga, the art supervisor who participated in "My Neighbor Totoro", "The Battle of Heisei Tanuki", and "The Cat's Repayment", created a new expression method that the industry has never seen before. A tribute to and realization of classical sketch aesthetics. Takahata was once known as an "art master who loves life and land". In his works, he can always see the core of the story skillfully conveying humanistic care, the profound observation tempered from the seemingly trivial daily life, and the selected subject matter. It has repeatedly reflected contemporary social problems, and constantly pursued breakthroughs in his career. Takahata's creative trajectory has become the foundation for the development of the Japanese animation industry after the war, and has also deeply influenced countless creators. Hayao Miyazaki, a comrade-in-arms who has cooperated with him for decades, even shed tears in mourning, missing the days when the two fought side by side. Said: "The way you carry out your life is exactly what you represent to us." **Important works of life** 1. "An Shou and Chef Wang Maru" (1961) 2. "Wolf Boy" (1963-1965) 3.

The brothers and sisters had to rely on relatives. The war caused a shortage of supplies.

Hayao Miyazaki personally asked Takahata to be the director. The heroine Takako in the original story was a high school student, but Takahata, who was thinking ahead, believed that the social atmosphere at that time encouraged women to be independent and many women invested in it. In the workplace, the character setting was changed from a high school student to a 27-year-old office worker, which resonated even more with the audience.
