The Boy and the Heron

Hayao Miyazaki’s first feature film in 10 years is a hand-drawn, original story written and directed by the Academy Award-winning director of Spirited Away. Produced by Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki and with a stirring musical score from Miyazaki’s long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi, The Boy and the Heron blends wondrous flights of fancy with resonant echoes of Miyazaki’s own childhood. It tells the story of a young boy who flees Tokyo with his father during World War II and finds his way into a strange new realm where death may not be the end.
