Nishimura spent a lot of time learning from Isao Takahata (Castle in the Sky) and Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo) from Studio Ghibli. As the youngest creator from the studio, Nishimura wanted to keep their memory and teachings close to his heart. However, while he was creating The Imaginary, he realized that to truly grow, he also had to take time to make his own films and a signature style for himself.
Speaking of his creation, Nishimura stated, “If you watch the movie more than once, you will realize that it’s about challenge and eternal recurrence. In Japan, we have this set phrase: flower, bird, breeze, and moon to talk about paintings and art, and it means all that is beautiful in this world.”
If you want to watch The Imaginary for yourself and see this cute and stunning animation, it’s available to stream on Netflix.
