1-Question to animation industry. We all praise films like Totoro as a master piece, and yet, western animation industry has this religious rule, “every scene must move the protagonists journey forward“ but is it true? Am I the only one who wants more diversity in storytelling?
Tonko House decided to donate 100% of 5th Year Anniversary Sale(7/17-7/31) to Kyoto Animation's own relief account.
May be small amount but hope this spiritual support reaches people affected. #京アニ #京都アニメーション

I’m seeing my 8 year old’s complete engagement watching Totoro as I write this. Scenes like this would never survive in the western animated story development. Is it true that majority of kids worldwide don’t respond to a scene like this? My son seems to disagree.
Totally out of blue, I was invited by
@RealGDT
to have lunch with him.
He liked our film ONI: Thunder God’s Tale! 😱
So proud of the entire

crew. You can see I look like a dorky fan boy in this pic.😅

3-don’t get me wrong. I love and appreciate the clean structure storytelling. Love all those story structure books and my education is from Pixar! I just hope there are more dyversity in storytelling and wanted to hear what people thought.
I so wish Netflix starts to reconsider their model and give a theatrical run for some deserving titles. Not just a 2-3 theaters for award considerations but for people around the world to have an “event” opportunity in theaters. Even if it’s just one weekend.
RIP Richard Schmid. One of the most influential painters to me personally. We used his teachings with all the artists we trained at Tonko House too. He inspired us all to see beauty in ordinary life. 🙏🙏
FINALLY the release date is confirmed.
Come out on
@netflix
on October 21st worldwide.(in 31 languages!)
154 minutes of an epic story cut into 4 chapters.
So much hearts and souls went into this film.

Check out the new version of the Japanese song 'Boyhood Days' for Pixar's 'LUCA.'
Director Enrico Casarosa (

) presents the song to the audience.
Really excited about this. We must celebrate as an animation industry as a whole that Flee is the first ever animated film nominated for these three separate categories next to live action films! A powerful film that shows us potential of animation beyond just one genre.
This wins the best documentary feature of all time for me. Vulnerable and emotional journey of the animation legend.
MUST WATCH
@GKIDSfilms
pls distribute it as a feature documentary for entire world to see🙏🙏🙏
The new 80-min NHK documentary about Hayao Miyazaki's latest movie has just been broadcast.
If you live in Japan, it's available online for NHK Plus subscribers.
@erickmallaco
I pitched this whole characters go in and out of light idea at critical scenes through out the film.
But it was still our amazing director
@MrDanScanlon
who made the commitment to pull this off as well as talented lighting team. It was such a fun experience for me.

Today! I think it is one of the most original and appealing film out of recent films with heartwarming story with appealing animation and stunning production design. I may be biased because many of my favorite people’s finger prints all over it but I loved it😍😍😍
Wow. Lots of responses. Thank you everyone. Again, just to clarify I don’t deny any one of storytelling styles. Love to see more dyversity but nothing wrong with one way or the other. (Watching masterful Totoro tonight inspired me to ask this question.😇)
10 yrs ago today, Robert Kondo and I started Tonko House with an ambition to create HOUSE where artists feel at home creating, feel safe to risk, and feel inspired to grow.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for 10 yrs of your support.
Congratulations to
@pinocchiomovie
for taking home the Golden Globe award for Best Picture - Animated! A testament to the amazing creativity and imagination displayed in this film! 🙌

Have to say
@Dreamworks
's push for the medium with Puss and
#TheBadGuys
this year is inspiring.
Really liked the story of Puss. Exciting to see how spin off can be so innovative.
Huge respect to the team.
Today marks 7th anniversary since Tonko House started this journey. Hard to believe, but I am now officially with Tonko longer than I was with Pixar. There were many moments we thought about quitting but we kept going thanks to our friends in the community. Thank you.
All of sudden, we have two big projects in motion and we will be looking to staff up our story team(both traditional and 3d) into next year. Please help us find those risk taking misfits like us.

So proud of you Team

In the beginning of the project,
#ONI
was a 100% stop motion project. We made a bunch of stop motion test with
@dwarf_inc
and LOVED it. As scope of our story grew, we made a shift to CG but still tried to get the feel of stop motion as much as possible.
