DAVE BAUTISTA AMONG VOICE CAST REVEALED FOR 'THE BOY AND THE HERON' ANIMATED FILM, TEASER TRAILER RELEASED

The following was issued in advance of the 12/8 English language theatrical release of The Boy and the Heron:

INTRODUCTION

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.

 

Hayao Miyazaki's first feature film in 10 years, The Boy and the Heron is a hand-drawn, original story written and directed by the Academy Award®-winning director. Produced by Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki, the film features a musical score from Miyazaki's long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi. The theme song for the film "Spinning Globe" was penned and performed by global J-pop superstar Kenshi Yonezu.
