In the BBC documentary, Japanorama, (which can be found to watch on youtube) Miyazaki replied in an interview (when told that he was considered the "Japanese Disney") that Walt Disney was a producer, not a director. He also says "Disney is such a big company - they are very keen on having everything in the world." Miyazaki does not make films for the purpose of money and exposure, like Disney did. On August 11, 2011, Miyazaki was asked the same question in an interview for CNN's "Talk Asia". He replied again: "The reason being is that Walt Disney is a producer and I'm a director. So the genre of work is different. I'm not a producer. We have a producer called Suzuki."
