After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Featuring the voices of Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson and Florence Pugh.Bonus Content:Interview with Composer Joe HisaishiInterview with Producer Toship SuzukiInterview with Animation Supervisor Takeshi HondaDrawing with Takeshi HondaStoryboard ReelSpinning Globe Music VideoTeasers & Trailers Review: Good but Hard to Watch - I don't know that a Miyazaki movie can be bad, and this one certainly isn't, but it's also not one I'll be likely rewatch multiple times like some of his others. It not just that it deals with some heavy issues, as that's par for the course for Miyazaki. It's that it does so disturbingly, grotesquely in places. There are scenes in the movie that make my night paralysis demons check under their beds before going to sleep. It's also kind of disjointed in its structure, and the ending felt rushed. Beyond that, it is a beautiful movie that displays Miyazaki's artwork at its finest, full of gorgeous landscapes and hunger-inducing food. The quiet melancholy touches the soul with all of the tenderness of classic Ghibli, and the themes of trauma and loss are handled gracefully. I'd recommend you watch it. Just don't watch it with a kid who is prone to nightmares. Review: You should watch it - I absolutely loved The Boy and the Heron. It was a beautifully emotional journey that combined stunning animation with a heartfelt story. Following Mahito as he copes with the loss of his mother and explores a mysterious, fantastical world felt both personal and epic. The visuals were breathtaking—especially the surreal creatures and landscapes that made every scene feel like art. What stood out most was how it tackled grief and growth in such a genuine way. Even the slower moments had this quiet beauty that pulled me in, and the music just tied everything together perfectly. It’s the kind of movie that sticks with you, and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves stories with heart and imagination. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D133GSPC | | Actors | Various | | Best Sellers Rank | #550 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #13 in Anime (Movies & TV) #136 in Action & Adventure Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,249) | | Language | English (Dolby Atmos), Japanese (Dolby Atmos) | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | 4K, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.61 x 6.66 x 5.39 inches; 7.36 ounces | | Release date | July 9, 2024 | | Run time | 2 hours and 4 minutes | | Studio | SHOUT!

The warawara look completely otherworldly on the cover of this edition.
