Miyazaki uses old-style, hand-drawn animation instead of the computer-generated cartoons that for a decade have dominated big-time Hollywood animated movies from the likes of Disney/Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. In large part, owing to his years at Pixar and now Disney, Lasseter is responsible for the shift toward using computers to draw cartoons instead of people. Still, he calls Miyazaki's work "mind-blowing." "I've never, ever agreed that audiences are tired of watching hand-drawn animation, that they only want to watch computer animation," he said. "Because it's not the medium that makes a movie entertaining, it's what you do with it."
