That video you linked was hilarious. Oh how I wish more people would have Miyazaki’s way of thinking.
I don’t mean that they should necessarily have his exact same opinions on things. I mean that they should think through things and approach them in the same process and manner that Miyazaki does.

Yeah, wouldn't want emotions to get in the way of... movies and TV people connect emotionally to for their entire lives...
in the world of art, people who care more about technical product rather than emotion tend to make disposable art that does not resonate across generations
I hope fewer people evaluate animation techniques like Miyazaki did in that presentation. Likening a fantasy zombie character's movement to a disabled person and calling it an affront to life itself validates the exact look and feel the animation team was going for. Though he posits this as a negative for no logical reason that is offered.
This is dramatic of me to say, but I can sincerely claim that anyone in my division that pulled something like this would be demoted or let go. If for nothing else than evaluating a technical product using and only using emotional language.
