An extensive documentary film (with English subtitles) on the making-of Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Princess Mononoke" has been posted online . This is an excellent overview of the making of a major animated film. Watch it while you can. Sometimes these things don't stay up for long :
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
By the way, did you know that Miyazaki's newest animated film "Ponyo On A Cliff by the Sea" is the most successful film in Japan for 2009, having already made ¥14.2 billion yen = $134.6 million dollars as of September 28, 2008 ? (that is in Japan alone) . Ponyo is slated for release in North America in 2009 by the Walt Disney Co.

For those who aren't aware Miyazaki is basically the top in Japan and has been for a while. At least in my opinion.
I would have to suggest Spirited Away as a great piece to check out as well. Definitely a must see for both story and art direction (and of course animation).
