Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Boy and the Heron (12a)
From the legendary Studio Ghibli and Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) comes a new critically acclaimed fantasy adventure. Featuring the voices of Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson and Florence Pugh.
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 grey heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the grey 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.
‘Walks, soars and gambols all over the competition. There’s no one quite as wondrous as Miyazaki.’ Nick Howells, London Evening Standard
‘A visually thrilling story that represents the very best in bold contemporary animation and popular art.’ Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
‘Don’t call it a comeback — or another retirement. Do call it an astonishing, sumptuous, animated fantasy featuring everything you love about one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.’ Ben Travis, Empire Magazine
