“Perhaps you will be able to make this world a more harmonious place than I could.” GKids has debuted one more official trailer for Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron to announce their re-release of the film. Hayao Miyazaki’s latest hand-drawn story just won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. To celebrate this achievement, GKids is sending The Boy and the Heron back to theaters on March 22nd – for everyone to catch up with & experience this beautiful film on the big screen. “A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, [and] in tribute to friendship, from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.” With an original score by Joe Hisaishi. Described as a “big fantastical film”, it follows a boy who discovers an abandoned tower in his new town and enters a magical, mystical world guided by a strange talking grey heron. The English-language dub version includes Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson, Florence Pugh. This first opened in US theaters in December last year after playing at festivals around the world. Check your local listings – both the dub and original Japanese subtitled version should be available. // Continue Reading ›
