What's Hayao Miyazaki thought on Makoto Shinkai's works?

Makoto Shinkai is often compared to Hayao Miyazaki in style. some critics even claimd that he's better than Miyazaki in some respects.



However,I never seen Hayao Miyazaki mentioned a word about him. i watched some of Makotos works'. personally. I didnt like them. Apparently "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" has a strong influence from Lauputa Castle of the Sky.



Has anybody ever came across any interview about Hayao Miyazaki's mentioning about Makoto? I am really curious. Since his works are so highly praised and is often comparing to Miyazaki. i wonder does he appreciate his works or anything.



Thanks
