Miyazaki at the Spirited Away premiere

September 10th, 2002 marked the premiere of the English dubbed version of Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" in the United States. To celebrate the occasion, director and writer Hayao Miyazaki himself was onhand to answer questions that the audience had. Accompanying Mr. Miyazaki was Toshio Suzuki, who is the co-founder of Studio Ghibli and produced the film. The question and answer period was moderated by Charles Solomon, who frequently writes about animation and, in particular, does a lot of writing on Japanese Animation, including Miyazaki's works.
