Oscar-winning Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki’s first film in five years – a wartime romance – will be released next year, its distributor has said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miyazaki, who created “Spirited Away”, which won Best Animated Feature in 2003, and “Ponyo” (2008), will release “Kaze Tachinu”<\/strong>, based on the novel of the same name, usually translated as “The Wind Has Risen”, distributor Toho said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The film’s hero is modeled on flight engineer Jiro Horikoshi<\/strong>, who designed the Zero fighter, Japan’s best known World War II fighter aircraft.<\/p>\n

In a career that has spanned five decades, Miyazaki has achieved critical and commercial success around the globe, blazing a trail for the genre of Japanese cartoons – known as anime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miyazaki collaborator Isao Takahata will also release his first new film in more than a decade next year.<\/strong> “Kaguyahime no Monogatari” will be based on Japan’s oldest novel “Taketori Monogatari” (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) believed to have been written more than 1,000 years ago.<\/p>\n
