The 82-year-old anime master of Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service and Ponyo premieres The Boy And The Heron at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"We are privileged enough to be living in a time where Mozart is composing symphonies," the filmmaker Guillermo del Toro said Thursday, introducing the film's first screening outside Japan."Miyazaki san is a master of that stature."

In one of his few public comments, Miyazaki was asked if his film would supply any answers to that question.
