Not gonna lie. Kinda wanted to kick her when she said Miyazaki doesn't have a big following in the states. I know a LOT of people who love Miyazaki films. Also when Pen was telling his signing story I could have sworn I saw myself behind him in a yellow shirt. Freaked me out.

A Miyazaki movie has never grossed more than $19 million here in the US. That's CLEARLY not popular. It's important to be objective and not just count your own personal experience as fact.

It is possible Miyazaki has many times more fans than actually ever paid anything to him, but they don't help him gain a footing over here. Personally, before netflix, I either had to borrow films or find them second hand in pawn shops, which unfortunately means I never showed up on statistics. It's families that push animated films, not college kids, and his chief demographics were probably college aged. Especially when they were charging 29.99 for his DVDs back in the day. sheesh!

Princess Monoke, even with Disney's backing, grossed $2.3mil in theaters. That's fucking bombing! Spirited, Howl's, and Ponyo had 30 million TOTAL, which is still a fucking disaster for animated films.

These are objective facts. DVD sales never made up for it.

You're confusing blind personal bias and critical acclaim for popularity. Miyazaki has a small number of loud and RABID fans; but not nearly enough to support theatrical releases.

I love his films, but i'm not blind to statistics.

Pendleton naturally sounds like lsp lol

Can't tell if serious... Miyazaki has a following, even if it's a small one, he is pretty popular, and so are his films. A lot of things don't gain their popularity straight from the theater. People BUY his films to watch and rewatch, something I wouldn't bother to do with the adventure time series. Your view on his popularity is clearly not factual, nor is it objective. Check out how many online blogs discuss his movies, there are a lot of fans out there. Even Mr Ward clearly disagrees with you

I think Pen's mom is jealous of Tom's glasses.
