10.

In an interview that Hayao Miyazaki gave in 2001 to Tom Mes, he stated that there was a
river close to his countryside home.
In his own words:
“When they cleaned the river we got to see what was at the bottom of it, which was truly
putrid. In the river there was a bicycle, with its wheel sticking out above the surface of the
water. So they thought it would be easy to pull out, but it was terribly difficult because it
had become so heavy from all the dirt it had collected over the years. Now they've
managed to clean up the river, the fish are slowly returning to it, so all is not lost. But the
smell of what they dug up was really awful. Everyone had just been throwing stuff into that
river over the years, so it was an absolute mess.”

This experience apparently inspired a very famous scene in one of his films. Which scene and
which film?
• Chihiro cleaning the putrid river god in Spirited Away
