Japanese animation studio Miyazaki isnt ready to retire just yet, after latest Oscar award..

Ghibi, the Japanese studio that just won its second Oscar for the feature animation for “The Boy and The Heron.” hasn’t said yet what it plans next.

But founder Hayao Miyazaki, who at 83 was the oldest director ever nominated in that category, won’t rule out making another film, even if his next project is a short instead of a full-length feature.

Miyazaki, according to a longtime confidante, is a bit embarrassed about having pronounced a decade ago that he would no longer make movies, citing his age.

“He regrets having announced to the world that he won’t make another film.” producer Toshio Suzuki, the co-founder of studio Ghibli, said after latest win.

When the Oscar was announced early Monday in Japan, a cheer went up in the tiny, humble building that houses the studio on the fringes sprawling Tokyo where dozens of invited media had crammed in to watch the ceremony on a big screen.
