Recently, a new controversy has arisen in the world of animation, that of the new picture of the year. Studio Ghibli, The Boy and the HeronWhich hit theaters about a month ago, and which is about a girl’s loneliness Columbia Participated as a painter. Thus, in various interviews he shared his experience of working remotely with them, with data that seemed unbelievable to be true, which caused them to create many memes on the Internet.
It is worth mentioning that the girl said in the interview that she had three direct contacts with the director of the play, Hayao Miyazaki, talking through a translator about the process to work with the team and what the understanding will be. Add to that the fact that he mentioned that he made just over 35,000 frames by hand, which would take a lot of time while the tape was running, which even attracted some public attention in the United States.
Here’s part of the interview where Geraldine Fernandez details how her fake participation in Miyazaki’s animated project ‘El Nino y la Herron’ was.
The incredible lightness with which the theft is done is a formidable challenge to match with many fictional scenes. pic.twitter.com/TbCN71ghuS

We have interviews with known content creators cast a sith, Asks about the images, noting that they are 100% hers, even though the portfolio includes one that isn’t really made by her inventiveness. Thus, after going through several more interviews, he commented that he might have been exaggerating a bit, a product of being part of the public eye in recent days, and added that he had never really worked in films. Completely, but a couple of scenes.
Here is what is mentioned:
When I finished my degree at the Autonomous University of Barranquilla I was looking at what to do with my life, I had a job but nothing permanent, so I had time to do other things. There I did a specialization at the University of Tokyo, I took advantage of the opportunity because I have a good command of the language. I took the exam and ended up in graduate school at that university.
I did not work in the whole movie, but in a few scenes. I want to clarify that there were a few things where I exaggerated.
He also talked about why he didn’t appear in the credits:
I watched everything except the last 40 minutes and the post credits, so I didn’t know where it was located, that’s when I desperately asked the studio to help me, they sent me a screenshot and told me because I’m a foreigner I’m part of the animation support house. Which appears in the animation part, so my name does not appear, my contract with the studio was freelance.
Despite all these statements, there are doubts about the authenticity of the film. So we have to wait for more evidence related to this latest work Studio GhibliWhich apparently will not end the founder of the company.

Editor’s note: The truth is that the girl’s story does not seem very believable, especially in the part where she acted semi-cooperatively and was paid so much for the work of a few scenes. Ultimately it’s a good film, but not very good given the exaggerated credits.
