Interview article to Hiroyuki MORITA supervisor of "The
Cat Returns". Akahata of the communist party organization magazine
is ardent to the introduction of the article on "The Cat Returns"
why.
As for doing various detours going to Tokyo from the episode at high school
days after it graduates of the university, and coming to participation
in Ghibli from "My Neighbors The Yamadas" and the duty of the
supervisor of "The Cat Returns", the mind of a desire that disregards
and is present when producing is indifferently talked about.
Mr. MORITA screened the amateur animated cartoon in a cultural festival
of the high school though he said, own "..withdrawing thought.. for
a long time". Then, it is felt admiration by the classmate who doesn't
usually have association, and it is said, "And, became an animated
cartoon with the dark".
Mr. MORITA who went to Tokyo aiming at animator after it had graduated
from the university in Fukuoka temporarily became free production though
he entered. It has been wandering in various work for animation, the original
picture, production, and 14 years. The world of animator is severe. It
is irregular, and work is long working hours, and:Low wage. ｢Work of animator
is not good at all at all. Life was always poor though it married in a
single age or the child was born. It has lived making use of the desire
said that the person is pleased to make a desire that it manages to do
it and an interesting animated cartoon. ｣｡ It is admitted that any hobby
is not, and is crazy about work.
It will serve as the supervisor of Studio Ghibli entering and "The
Cat Returns" to participate in the original picture of "My Neighbors
The Yamadas" in 1999. However, it is said that it was not expected
too much at first. It works by MIYAZAKI supervisor's “Spirited Away"
and going side by side simultaneously at that time. I hear that the MORITA
supervisor also thought "The Cat Returns" to be thought "Only
have to sell ..the video.. ..the level.." ..it is.. ..whether located..
..seeming having been said until lend the staff of "Cat" at the
time of driving in "Chihiro".. ..becoming the masterpiece...
The evaluation of surroundings changed entirely, and however, after the
scenario was settled and the picture continuity was completed, it was located
and the theater disclosing in 250 theaters was decided a next work of "Chihiro"
performing, too. ｢Still, pleasure was a moment. After ..really good..,
the said pressure was larger. So as not to look saucy as much as possible,
it paid attention (laughter). ｣Though supervisor's slight standpoint is
guessed to the place in which it talks, Hats supervisor work seems that
it was able to finish it up the modest character.
The MORITA supervisor : about "The Cat Returns". ｢I wanted to
do 1 and 2 to an anyway optimistic work. If something can be felt in changing
hero Haru, it is glad. ｣It comments. ｢Animator is done. I want to think,
'Having had a hard time up to now was a preparation to be good this day
of today'. It might be that time now. ｣It recollects it. The interview
journalist criticizes and is connecting the MORITA supervisor with "Candid
man of the world". (dissemination: Mr. Tsusima) |

The introduction article of theme song "Become it

the fate.. ..meeting.., and is announced the episode though it belongs
to the high school, the university, and the folk song part, and it wanted
to strum the guitar. As for the style that put on a light tempo of the
ukulele and was expressed, how that it is likely to become "Heal"

Interview article to Hiroyuki MORITA supervisor. This article
is a composition where the emphasis of the work of the Hiroyuki MORITA
supervisor is put. It goes back until it graduates from the university
in MORITA supervisor's high school student age and it joins the animated
cartoon production in Tokyo, and the hardship that coils round the animated
cartoon making is dug up.
Though it doesn't forget the point that actually attaches marketed as "Hayao
MIYAZAKI project" though it seems to be Akahata of the communist party
organization magazine, and serves as the supervisor either, it is ..going
out.. . though ..MORITA supervisor.. place in which it throws , saying
that "If it is possible to see because I am modest man, it is good
in it" makes it do.
｢I think that it can make throwing in the one seen in our lines of vision
different again from Mr. MIYAZAKI and Mr./Ms. Takahata, and encouraging.
To oneself and the movie because it supports and it can be courage｣It is
connected by the word supervisor.

without relation from beginning to end brightly that it is the one by the
policy of MORITA supervisor's "I wanted to do the work without a bright,
optimistic shadow" that it was finished a tragic but brave feeling
and seriously. Haru is a child who doesn't have the thought perseverance,
and "High school girl nowadays" is said coming in succession
the appearance and as it is. Haru is a girl named the child who doesn't
hold out and the circle to which it grows up heading to targets. It criticizes

and others of story.
This Hiroyuki MORITA supervisor's debut work is said, grandeur and an exact
route of the Princess Mononoke, the “Spirited Away", and the followed
Hayao MIYAZAKI supervisor are contrasted "World of lightness".
The key word in the MIYAZAKI animated cartoon is too self-assertive in
a climax flight scene the back match to the lack of the ocean and the enhancement
feeling or imagination shortages in the scene in the ballroom dance and
the maze, too and it criticizes to Houdai and Kechonkechon that wants to
say as originality shortage etc. though this "Lightness" can
enjoy getting off the fast track.
, saying that "There is a small shine that the MIYAZAKI work has lost
in this short piece" though it follows, the shine is to prepare breakfast
instead of start living in the private time by Haru = do not oversleep
= mother when a variety of saying. It is a shine. It is not or when man
wants to catch these kind of things and a small message lightly, is concluded
well small. And .

Introduction article on "The Cat Returns". The
article is composed of the interview form to the Hiroyuki MORITA supervisor.
It is described to turn, and to have borne it in mind even if the peculiar
characteristic of the original is made the best use of as a story that
coils round "It is not to compare it because I am a new figure supervisor"
or the eagle and production for the question "Pressure as the supervisor
of the work that continues after 'Chihiro'" hearing female staff's
opinion because the original is girls' comics. As the story, an exaggerated
theme "Story that grows up" etc. doesn't hang, and when small
happiness in the trifle, happiness of fine and feeling quite oneself, and
daily life was put in the last of the story, be connected only because
it goes to cat's country and it comes back.
