Apples to oranges, though. Miyazaki is a creator/director. Weinstein was a producer, which is not a creative role.
Weinstein was a producer on a lot of fantastic movies. Kill Bill, for example, which is one of my favorite flicks, was produced by Mirimax, his company.
Edit: in fact the reason Kill Bill is in 2 parts is somewhat related to the OP: Weinstein wanted Tarantino to cut it down to one movie that was 2-3 hours long, and Tarantino wanted it to be one 4.5 hour long movie, so the compromise was they made it two movies. Just a fun fact.
