Takahata developed a project for release after Gorō Miyazaki's (director of "Tales from Earthsea" and Hayao's son) "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" – an adaptation of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter". The last film Hayao Miyazaki directed before retiring from feature films was "The Wind Rises" which is about the Mitsubishi A6M Zero and its founder.
