Watch French Animator Dono’s Beautiful Tribute to Hayao Miyazaki

There’s no doubt that Hayao Miyazaki is a living legend. With an animation and screenwriting career spanning decades, Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli gifted the world with streams of gorgeous anime. Vimeo user Dono recently created a lovely tribute to the man behind the movies, taking classic Studio Ghibli elements and placing them into his own 3D world. Characters from Spirited Away, Ponyo and Totoro, along with many others, make cameos throughout the piece. With stunning renderings, gorgeous use of light and a flowing, montage-like format, we’re seriously vibing on this beautiful little work of videography.
