次の英文を読んで設問に答えなさい。

The next time（31）go to an English-speaking country, check out

the animated section in a local DVD store . You’ll see that some of thebestselling“anime”look familiar but have strange titles like Kiki’s Delivery
Service, Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro. These movies and othersfrom the same Japanese studio don’t just make us laugh and cry ; they also
make us think. They are admired the world over as works of art, and evenas works of genius. Japanese people should feel very proud of the country’s
most famous animation studio.
A work of art can often tell us a lot about the artist. Consider themovies mentioned above , all written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
Viewing these films, you might think that he prefers cats to dogs and isinterested in flying machines. But what Miyazaki really wants you to think
about as you watch his movies is how difficult it can be to“do the rightthing,”like protect nature or prevent war or take care of the sick andelderly. These are Miyazaki’s deeper themes, which,（32）, concern usall.
And then there are Miyazaki’s central characters, almost always girls
caught up in that difficult time between childhood and adulthood. We canrelate（33）Kiki’s confusion at the changes she can’t control . We

might also wonder whether she or San or Satsuki or Chihiro will be able tocope in an adult world. Miyazaki is interested in how these characters grow.
Unlike Disney princesses, these females are not pure, not perfect. And they
don’t need a prince to rescue them.
There are, then, very few black-and-white characters or straightforward
issues in Miyazaki’s movies. His world, just like the real world, is full ofgrays. No-one is ever entirely good or evil, and no problem is ever obvious orsimple. What this means is that we, the audience, must think for ourselves.
This is extremely rare in animation — and in pop culture in general.
Somehow , Miyazaki has managed to challenge us with unanswerable
questions and still be enormously popular. It’s an incredible achievement.
To conclude, Japan’s world-renowned animation studio is unusual inthat it focuses on making great art, not big money. Most other production
6

companies (those managing Japan’s pop idols,（34）) don’t seem tounderstand that you can’t buy international respect or awards. Japaneseanimation is now recognized globally as an art form. And for that, Hayao
Miyazaki deserves much of the credit . He is on a par with otherinternationally esteemed geniuses like Akira Kurosawa and Haruki
Murakami.
