That's wonderful news! After having it pointed out to me in the article, I do notice a very strong difference between the style of Princess Mononoke and everything afterward. I loved the animation of PM, and to know that was done in pencil is amazing. To read that this new film has Miyazaki returning to pencil animation is nothing short of delightful. I already loved the story of the Little Mermaid, so this is a very exciting film for me. ^_^
