Matt Groening's Guide to "Disenchantment"10 of 11
Strange Spirits
Miyazaki's epic, ethereal Spirited Away is decidedly darker than Totoro, following a young girl who walks between the worlds of the living and the dead. It might not sound like the stuff of comedy, but Groening took note when creating "Disenchantment," telling TV Week, "The tendency for fantasy — and many Hollywood films — is 'good vs. evil.' We tried to make the world not so black and white."
