The answer , plainly , was rather simple : money .
Crunchyrollreports that , speaking to an consultation at an event advance a young book about Tokyo ’s Ghibli Museum , The Story of Ghibli Museum , former Studio Ghibli President of the United States and current producer Toshio Suzuki bring out that Ghibli ’s primary reason for finally relenting on provide its catalog to be streamed online was to “ make money for film product , ” add together that “ Hayao Miyazaki iscurrently arrive at a pic , but that take a lot of time . And , of class , money . ” By finally lift the apparent forbiddance , Ghibli can better secure its future .
utter of Miyazaki , however , Ghibli ’s executives needed to near the fabled music director and receive his blessing to actually begin crusade on these passel — a task made well-heeled , concord to Suzuki , by the fact Miyazaki does n’t actually know what these platforms really are . “ Miyazaki does n’t lie with what streaming military service are , ” Suzuki enjoin the audience . “ He does n’t usecomputers or smartphones . ”
Meanwhile , Suzuki believes that original depicted object on these platform is the future for film making , and could potentially be interested in explore that potential at the studio . “ It ’s more likely that new plastic film will be created for Netflix ’s service , ” Suzuki continued . “ As a film creator , even though I reckon that cinemas and DVD ’s are of import [ for a film release ] , I also think that [ digital statistical distribution ] is important . ”
Could we one day see a Ghibli film made exclusively for a cyclosis platform , whether it ’s Netflix , HBO Max , or someone else ? Maybe , one day . Hopefully Miyazaki will have at least been told what they actually are by that point .
