Randomness: Miyazaki Meets The Simpsons

Written By Samantha Ferreira

Apparently, this is the rare case where The Simpsons hadn’t done it before! Last night, Fox’s Animation Domination account posted a short clip from their upcoming episode, which features a truly impressive homage to the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Many of the major works are represented, from Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki’s Delivery Service, to films like Ponyo and Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s a bit that’s surprisingly humorous, and oozing with love for the work of the legendary creator.
