Venice date for animation master
By Neil Smith
Entertainment reporter, BBC News, in Venice

Hayao Miyazaki

Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has denied any rivalry exists between his Studio Ghibli company and US animation giant Pixar.

"The illustrators at Pixar are all people I hold dear," he told reporters at the Venice Film Festival.

"We are not in competition. Our relationship is one that is based on friendship."

However, the veteran director insisted he would continue to champion traditional hand-drawn animation over the computer-generated variety favoured by Pixar and others.

"CG is used a great deal at the moment, and at times it can be excessive," the 67-year-old said.

"Animation needs man's drawing hand, which is why I will continue to use the pencil for as long as I can."
