Studio Ghibli releases official teaser trailer for ‘The Boy and the Heron’

Studio Ghibli has released the official teaser trailer for its latest film, “The Boy and the Heron,” and finally announced the movie’s U.S. release date.

Key details: Studio Ghibli and U.S. film distributor GKIDS shared the teaser trailer for legendary director Hayao Miyazaki’s final film on Wednesday.

Last week, the Japanese animation studio shared a synopsis of the film: “A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead, where death finds its end, and life embarks on a new beginning.”

What to expect: “The Boy and the Heron” will reportedly be released in the U.S. with both an English-language version and an original Japanese version with English subtitles.

Reception in Japan: Despite Studio Ghibli’s unconventional marketing approach, “The Boy and the Heron” has performed well at the Japanese box office, setting a record with the biggest opening weekend of any Studio Ghibli production in Japan.
