Ghibli can still make films without Miyazaki directing. When’s the last time Walt Disney worked on a film?

It can but it won't until he is dead. He has a reputation that he is impossible to work with. He somehow cannot find a successor in decades. That alone is a huge red flag for a boss. The people working at Ghibli started their own company, Studio Ponac, because they knew they would never be good enough to succeed in his eyes.

I highly recommend the videos: Never Ending Man, and the TV documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" if you want to learn more.
