Isao Takahata was one of the great masters of animation. In a career spanning more than 50 years, he directed numerous classic films, co-founded Studio Ghibli with Hayao Miyazaki, and supported other filmmakers around the world, including Michel Ocelot & Michaël Dudok de Wit. He was an icon of cinematic genius, and he will be dearly missed. In his honor, we've made this video tribute to his incredible body of work.
