Studio Ghibli rises again! Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary Japanese animator and storyteller par excellence, has emerged from a well-earned retirement to honor the world with one last work of cinematic resplendence. The Boy and the Heron, a tale of one child’s adjustment to the death of his mother through magical escape into a parallel world, echoes themes Miyazaki has explored previously with such breathtaking success in films like Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and other classics. Known for the richness of his traditionally realized animation, Miyazaki is already holding audiences spellbound with this unexpected final gift to lovers of peerless movie-making and the heartfelt exploration of universal values like love, courage, and hope in things unseen that may lurk just around the corner. Already No. 1 on many box office lists, The Boy and the Heron is guaranteed to leave an indelible mark upon audiences across the world and earn a special place in the hearts of millions as the great Miyazaki’s parting masterpiece. Go see it this holiday season! From one Miyazaki fan to another, I guarantee you’ll be thoroughly enchanted.
