Hayao Miyazaki: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through The Mitchells vs. the Machines, which they were tied to as Michael's idol: Hayao Miyazaki ⇒ The Mitchells vs. the Machines (the maker said so: Rianda himself on the episode). Katie's Mount Rushmore idea came from an office poster of Miyazaki, Ashby, Sciamma and Moodysson.
“inspired by just a thing that was in my office of Miyazaki, Hal Ashby, Celine Siama, and Lucas Moodison”
