Takahata insisted on working with the animator Yoshifumi Kondō, who was working for Nippon Animation at the time. Kondō is responsible for creating the fluid and realistic movements of the characters in the animation. At a lecture at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, July 2007, Kondō cited that much of his inspiration for his animation style came from the movements of Brigitte Fossey in the 1952 movie Forbidden Games.
