Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast. In our 6th episode, we discuss the heartbreaking Grave of the Fireflies. 

An amazing animated film in many ways, it was directed by the legendary Isao Takahata, as his first feature for Studio Ghibli. It was featured as a double bill with My Neighbour Totoro in 1988. The feature still stands the test of time and its spotlight on Setsuko and Seita's journey is a tale that shouldn't be missed. 

I'm joined by the incredible Sean Mullen, one of the creative leads of Giant Animation. He recently co-directed The Overcoat, producing the CG portion of the short. Giant are a studio I've long admired for the quality work they've been producing here in Ireland. I'd highly recommend checking out Geist and The Overcoat.
