Strange feelings after watching that. Miyazaki's point about the character reminding him of his friend who has a disability and castigating the creators for assuming that something like that is "monstrous" makes you realize how deeply, reflexively empathetic Miyazaki is. It's also very funny how hard he shut them down, basically saying "if you want a scary monster then animate it yourselves". You can tell his producer gets it, when he asks them what their end goal is, but it takes them so long to answer and their answer is seemingly so unrelated that you get the feeling that they have no goal artistic, technological, or otherwise.
