“The Boy and the Heron” is Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s latest film… before the next one. Although for a long time, the director himself said he would stop leading feature films, it seems that this retirement is far from happening. However, for now, we are faced with a new film that has already succeeded in Japan and aims to make an impact worldwide.
In the midst of a period of change for Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki’s film aims to be a new global hit… and that means it will largely depend on the dubbing. In the case of Spanish for Spain, we can already hear how it will sound thanks to the trailer released by the distributor Vértigo Films. You can watch it below.
The most mysterious film by Hayao Miyazaki
Despite now being able to watch the international trailer and knowing a lot about the film, “The Boy and the Heron” remained a secret for a long time. In the midst of an era saturated with information about what’s to come, Ghibli wanted to adopt the opposite strategy and reveal nothing about the movie until people saw it in theaters. Thus, only a not very revealing poster about the film was released.
Now, with much more information about it, all that’s left is to wait until October 27th to see the new film by the director of “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Spirited Away” in theaters. This is one of the last works of a director who has left an unparalleled mark on several generations and will be talked about for a very long time. Below is the synopsis of the film:
“Mahito, a 12-year-old boy, struggles to settle into a new city after his mother’s death. However, when a talking heron informs Mahito that his mother is still alive, he enters an abandoned tower in search of her, leading him to another world.”
