"Kiki's Delivery Service" is a novel series wrote by Eiki Kadono. It has 6 books, plus three specials. Not a single official source claimed the upcoming adaptation to be a "live-action remake" of Miyazaki's animated movie

On the other hand, i feel like it shows that everybody aren't aware that majority of Miyazaki's movies are based on books, so here is a list :

- The castle of Cagliostro : Original movie based on the manga "Lupin the Third"
- Nausicaä : Technically, yes and no. He had to write the beginning of a manga before (the manga has 7 volumes).
- Castle in the sky : Based on "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, and "Gulliver's Travel" - while being a free adaptation.
- Totoro : No.
- Kiki's Delivery Service : Based on the novel series by Eiki Kadono.
- Porco Rosso : Based on one of his own manga, "Hikōtei Jidai"
- Whisper of the Heart : Based on Aoi Hiiragi's manga "Mimi o Sumaseba"
- Princess Mononoke : No but he wrote the beginning of an illustrated book.
- Spirited Away : No. Chihiro is based on Miyazaki's friend's daughter.
- Howl's Moving Castle : Based on the first book of the "Howl Trilogy", "Howl's Moving Castle".
- Ponyo : Based on "The Little Lermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen.
- Arrietty : Based on "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton.
- From up on poppy hill : Based on the manga "From Up on Poppy Hill" by Tetsuo Sayama and Chizuru Takahashi.
- The Boy and the Heron : Not an adaptation, but based on "How do you live ?" by Genzaburō Yoshino.

I kept for the end :
- Tales of Earthsea, by Gorō Miyazaki : Based on different stories from the "Earthsea" novel series.

And

- The Wind Rises is based on : "Le cimetière marin" by Paul Valéry ("Le vent se lève, il faut tenter de vivre, etc") ; free biopic of Jiro Horikoshi, using real person name in a different context (like Honjo) ; also based on "The Wind has Risen" by Tatsuo Hori.

Edit : "Based on" doesn't mean it is a faithfull adaptation. It can be based on a concept, on a world, etc. So yes, they are "based on".

Edit 2 : "All of you" is OBVIOUSLY the people who spread wrong informations, like "It will be a live action of the animated movie".

Of course, it's only my opinion.

Since years, a lot of people say that this dungeon is hard, or that it is the "hardest" of OoT, but everytime I see these posts / hear these takes, I'm like ... "Did we play the same OoT ?"

Like, it is hard but - imo, again - not at all that much harder than the other temple of this game. Imo, it's not even the hardest in that game. Personnaly, I remember having more problems in Jabu-Jabu when I was a kid.

I don't know, is it a popular or an unpopular opinion ?

What is your take on that one ?
