Hayao Miyazaki’s new Studio Ghibli movie The Boy and the Heron gets an official trailer

September 7, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, GKIDS has released a first trailer for The Boy and The Heron, the eagerly-anticipated animated feature from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki which follows the psychological journey of Mahito, a teenage boy, as he enters a magical world with a talking heron after discovering an abandoned tower in his new town.

Check out the trailer below, along with some newly-released images from the anime feature…

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, in tribute to friendship, from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.

The Boy and The Heron arrives in cinemas on December 8th.
