A Month of Miyazaki was a four-week celebration of the works of acclaimed anime director Hayao Miyazaki, which began airing on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on Saturday, March 18, 2006. Like sibling station TCM's similar marathon in January 2006, Toonami aired a different movie every week between Toonami anniversaries (the marathon began on the weekend of the ninth anniversary of the block and ended the week before the second anniversary of the block's move to Saturday nights).
The films scheduled for A Month of Miyazaki aired uncut and unedited as per Miyazaki's policy not to have his films altered. However, there were many complaints due to the large number of commercial interruptions during the films, with commercial breaks cutting in about every 20 minutes.
