PEOPLE: - Yoichi Kotabe, age 72. Illustrator for A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, and BS Zelda. Former partner of the Studio Ghibli founders. - Hayao Miyazaki, age 67. Co-founder of Studio Ghibli. - Satoru Iwata, age 48. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Kotabe: [Miyazaki] came up to me and asked if I could help him out. I agreed without giving it much thought. … Remember the scene [in Nausicaä] where the tentacles reach out? Miya-san had drawn some layouts, and I was to trace those to create the key frames, but it kept turning out lifeless and ruined. So for the first frame of the tentacles I just used the layout itself. When I saw the finished movie and what an important scene it was, I was shocked. Iwata: I heard Miyazaki-san said you got mad at him. [laughs] Kotabe: Of course! It's such an important scene, but he didn't even show me all the storyboards!
