Description
"During the early years of the film's development (in the early 1980s), both Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were involved with the film, but left due to differing views on what the film should be, and desire to work on other projects. [Brian Froud and Jean Giraud/Moebius also participated in the film.]"
While the film was more or less Westernized, you can still see hints of Miyazaki and Takahata's influence in the art...especially in the 1984 pilot video, which is outrageously awesome. While I love the film, it would have been really interesting and probably even better had Miyazaki and Co. stayed.
SOooo, because of the info above, as well as my love for Miyazaki's films and style in general, and also to divulge my old desire to draw 'anime,' I whipped this up last night! Dinah looks like stereotypical crap, but I love how Flip and Meredith came out.

I believe in Jesus Christ, my Savior. If you do too, copy and paste this into your signature.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
If we spent every minute of our lives thanking God for all that He has done, that still wouldn't be enough.
A little hard work never killed anybody.

OMIGOSH! This is extremely awesome, Kelley!! Wonderful job on ALL of the characters from that film!! I seriously need to get a list of films to see and go find them! This being one of them, of course.
I only got to chat with Gregg briefly, hearing about a new Garfield show coming out! He's reprising his role as Odie and my friend, Wally, is doing Jon's voice! I WISH I could have talked to Michael Bell! I had an important question to ask him, one I've been wanting to ask for yeeeeears! And you said Brian Froud was involved as well, and yep, I read he was a conceptual designer. He was at Comic Con too, or he and his wife, Wendy, always have a booth in the Exhibit Hall. I got to say hello to him and his son, Toby. And we all know Toby was the little baby in Jim Henson's Labyrinth right? Riiiight!
And yes, I adore Miyazaki's work, too. I can't think of the name, My Neighbor Totoro without getting a smile on my face, or my breath escapes at the stunning animation for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away... *siiighs*, the man is a genius!
Yikes, totally long-winded here!

omg, YESSSS! Eeee, I haven't seen it in so long, though!...To be honest, I had no idea that 'On Your Mark' was only a music video when I first saw it and was kind of sad when I learned that was all it was; but the animation and story were still wonderful!
*runs off to go watch it*
