    The article isn’t about the new animation but about how the old clip has resurfaced and is retreading its origin and how it relates to recent events.

    Now coming back to Miyazaki’s thoughts on AI, a widely shared video from 2016 shows the legendary animator reacting with disgust to an AI-generated animation demo.

    The animation in the clip reminded him about his friend’s disability and how the creators of the animation didn’t regard ableism while making it. Later in the clip, one of the creators had expressed that they would like to create a machine that could “draw pictures as humans do” and Miyazaki was depicted as displeased after this statement.

    The article doesn’t go into if there were any comments from Miyazaki on the Ghibli-style image.
