Studio Ghibli unveils trailer for Miyazaki's new film 'The Boy and the Heron'


We are so back! Studio Ghibli just released a trailer for its upcoming new film, "The Boy and the Heron," and it already has fans hyped.

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film is set after World War II. The trailer features Miyazaki's signature whimsical art and fantastical worlds.

"Where death comes to an end, life finds a new beginning," the trailer says.

"The Boy and the Heron" film will be released 10 years after Miyazaki retired from filmmaking after working on "The Wind Rises" in 2013.

Four years later, however, Miyazaki revealed that he was working on "The Boy and the Heron."

The story follows a boy named Mahito, who lost his mom in the bombings of Tokyo. When he and his father move to the countryside, he encounters a talking heron which leads him to another world with the promise of meeting his mother again.

Among Miyazaki's iconic works include "Spirited Away," "My Neighbor Totoro," "Howl's Moving Castle," and "Princess Mononoke." —JCB, GMA Integrated News
