THE BOY AND THE HERON | Official Teaser Trailer 

Nice

nice

👍👍

Excellent

Nie

Bro it takes a month to animate one minute of a movie. He ain’t retired for ish 😂

​@@WitiPlaysno fr he's been officially retired since 2004 after howl's moving castle. but he keeps coming back and taking on new projects for some reason 🤷‍♀️

this is his last one

@@SoapMurderer Well, not anymore. He's already working on the next movie according to Studio Ghibli VP Junichi Nishioka

He's gonna make movies until he dies

it's not italian tho, it's latin

Thx, this helps me greatly. I'm Japanese but it's always difficult to understand every references in the Ghibli films.

Exactly! I didnt like the wind rise much

Honestly, The Wind Rises was still pretty fantastical considering the subject matter

You're right, Miyazaki definitely has a knack for making supernatural/almost thriller type of films, he makes these the best in my opinion.

Oh snap this is gonna be good

If I may ask? What was the last Ghibli film that was made before this?

@@maxpaananen240 good question

ikr

​@@maxpaananen240 When Marnie was there I think (not by Miyazaki though)

Exactly... can't stand how most trailers show the whole plot these days... this trailer restored my hope

@@H-Vox exactly teaser trailers at least 20 years ago were like 10 seconds long and just showed sparse details to intrigue you.

@@H-Vox Like if you watched the first POTC teaser it was just the scene when the skeleton pirates are walking across the sea floor at night to Port Royal and all you get is this low shot of its foot and the footprint just has the film’s release date.

Bro it's a teaser, wait until the trailer comes out and spoils it all.

Where can I watch it ??

Hate trailers like this that tell you NOTHING about the film . Does not make me want to watch it because there is nothong here . Perhaps if you already know this creator other wise NOTHING HERE. Random scenes with no context

@@Erwin009 brain dead take lol

​@@vclapem9140didnt take much of my interest tho tbh, but I will give it a shot when the time comes

@Erwin009 Your stupid comment was the exact reason and deliberate intention as to why Studio Ghibli didn't promote the movie whatsoever. With social media on the rise and people like yourself who are quick to judge, the minimalistic approach to this promotion of this movie was to allow fans and viewers to make discussions about the movie without any bias criticisms and opinions prior to premiere of the film. There's the saying ; "Don't judge a book by its cover", and the fact that the movie didn't even hit the theatres worldwide, you're already quick to judge.

Great trailer, why would you spoil even the beginning of the movie? You get a great taste of the art style, the music, the theme (life/death), the weird fantasy elements and creatures, and the general feel of the movie. You shouldnt look for anything else in a 1-minute video

I saw it in the theater and it was the most boring movie of the year.

​@@FdF-ee5wk ohh that's your perception not the reality! I saw it too and as a Ghibli lover it was worth it

"Feel emotion from a just 1 minute long video".. what a overreact fans🥱

Bless you for showing the kids this kind of art. All of my art teachers continuously told me “anime isn’t art” my whole life. 😫 Like it isn’t made up of tens of thousands of drawings, involve design or color palettes or anything at all. 😑

@@capimages I like anime art and Miyazaki's work and his movies. My favorites are Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Monoke, Up From Poppy Hill, and When Marnie was There.

@@kirongauff4934 My fav Ghibli movies are Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in The Sky, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle :)

You're the right kind of art teacher the kids need :D

The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children to protect deviant SAers

If I remember correctly it wasn't actually Miyazaki's idea to release it that way he just agreed to it at the judgement of his team. He was initially a little upset about it.

@@fourthpanda Yeah, I can see why. They revealed official images of the movie after this trailer was uploaded. Miyazaki must be upset about any form of visual of his movie to be spoiled.

“Final film”? We’ll see. 😅

@@cpee656 I could’ve sworn I put air quotations on “final film”, because ain’t that the truth when it comes to this guy. 😅

they probably walked out not having understood a single thing

reminds me of when i was little and watched spirited away. core memory.

Yeah. Me when I watched princess mononoke. Slowly became my favorite deal in Ghibli film

I was so surprised at how many children walked into the theater to see it! I was like oh my lord not every animated movie is for kids LOL. Main character literally self harmed within the first 10 minutes. It was great tho. Story line, cast, the fucking music. Cried twice. 10/10 recommend

Do you think it's ok for a ten year old ? ​@@zoemack1903

not one of , He is the greatest. At this point even greater than Disney. I'm sure people at Disney will agree as well except exec.

His ability to dig into a theme and convey that to our deepest consciousness in a way that is so subtle and meaningful is his true skill. I think his brand of storytelling is unmatched

Don Bluth is up there as well.

the Disney and Pixar animation crews all openly admit to worshipping at Ghibli's feet. Frikkin Lasseter introduced him in America out of awe and love!

@@Fizggig agreed. they just dont make em like those guys..

The studios of some of Japan's finest animation directors, including Mamoru Hosoda, Hideaki Anno, and Hiromasa Yonebayashi, also participated in the production, and it was deeply moving to see three people who were once taught by Hayao Miyazaki assist in his final work. These messages to succeeding animation artists are embedded in the work, and I felt that Hayao Miyazaki strongly wanted to pass the baton to someone else.

It's sad but I always have hope that there will be other people taking up the mantle after Miyazaki truly retires, just like Miyazaki taking up the mantle after Osamu Tezuka was gone. There will be new talents who rise up and continue the anime passion people like Miyazaki left behind, and I can't wait to see those anime yet to come. So don't be sad it ends (for Miyazaki), be happy it started.

right i am so moved to be going to a theater to experience this for the last time 😢

I saw his film at the Toronto Film Festival when he "retired" in 2013, now I get to do it again 10 years later with this masterpiece, can't wait!

@@jimimphile Hope you'll have fun!

was this movie a worthy last movie for Miyazaki??

@@RepulsiveIsTheName I don't think you can evaluate the feeling of something "ending" in the quality of the movie because, based on personal preferences, some people would expect grandeur, some drama, some the best of everything ever done before, because they know is the last. This is a very philosophical movie, as well as having great animation as usual, but is darker than Sen to Chihiro, so the grandeur is not there. For me, as I said, not knowing what it was about before going to watch it, gave me a strange feeling, as if I were missing something. There are some parts where It gets confusing and the role of people involved is hard to frame so you keep waiting to see if things will clarify later on. Without spoilering anything major, there is a scene involving a gate, and something on the other side of the gate which you would expect is going to be revealed, yet is not, leaving you wondering why they even showed it in the movie. Still, overall I loved it, and will watch it over and over again.

@Aupirit 👏🏻 thank you for the brilliant reply

You're right the heron flies with the S-curvature in his neck. Something that's different in storks for example.

I like the old ladies scene

@@kauanhenrique4219 Same here! I love how they almost give off something animalistic gathering at the end of that narrow hallway. Just striking.

*"Anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough." - Hayao Miyazaki, Director of Studio Ghibli*

I watch a documentary about him directed his first 3D animation. He supervised the CGi artist doing a baby caterpillar hatched from the egg. Everytime Mr Miyazaki asked for a change, the eye movement (the eyes are opening to fast), the head movement (not enough confusion) how the eyes open and look around the surrounding for the first time. So many revisions, I can see the stress from the CGi artist and he almost give up. But the end result is amazing. In the end of the documentary, Hayao Miyazaki decided to stick with 2D animation 😂

I agree 😢❤

the studio is not ending is just the last movie from Miyazaki

I know what you mean. 😢

⁠@@marcos-ll2yrThat’s basically like saying Apple is still going to make iphones but Steve jobs is not gonna be the mind behind it. Miyazaki is the real visionary and mastermind , a true backbone to studio ghibli and he’s the main reason there’s a feeling of that magic in each one of these incredible movies , it’s good news that studio ghibli is not shutting down but Miyazaki has the real Midas touch & it probably won’t be the same without him 😢😔 All good things must come to an end someday , atleast he has given us countless masterpieces to rewatch over and over and cherish and appreciate his hard work and genius 💯♥️

@@harivyas9550 Hey, Takahata was also at the studio's heart, some of it's very best movies weren't made by Miyazaki, like Grave of the Fireflies, Whisper of the Heart and the Tale of Princess Kaguya. They've got to look out for the new generation if they want to survive. Miyazaki and Takahata had their swam songs, let's now see what the youngsters are like! Just keep Goro Miyazaki away from the studio please :D.

Am watching this just cause it's ghibli.

This literally has no soul, it just looks like recycled scenes

the animation is dull and lifeless compared to what disney was doing even in the 1940s. just b/c you think the frames look pretty doesn't make it beautiful animation

@@helvete_ingres4717 i dont like disney, but their old animations are full of soul. This just looks like leftovers. Ghibli hasnt done anything new or interesting in over a decade

@@duquem0421 you literally have 0 clue what “soul” is. That word has lost all meaning on the internet.

This is his final film? How do you know this?

​@@II-gj1jwLike his last film The wind rais, who should be his last, The boy and the heron should be (again) the last Miyazaki movie

@@osricfinvara3415 because he said. Miyazaki said he will retire after this film. But he said multiple times, like in 2013 with The Wind Rises and several time before. This time tho seems more real to me

​@@II-gj1jwBro he's 83 and it took 7 years to make this film.

Some might call that animation "outdated" and be turned off. 😂

@@trashfire9641 Total nonsense

@lukewilson624 or, facts 🤔

@@trashfire9641 this style of animation isn’t attempted as much anymore because of how difficult and time consuming hand-drawn animation is compared to computer animation. It has nothing to do with how ‘dated’ it looks because most people would agree that hand drawn films usually look the prettiest when they’re done well.

@callinater6133 Well: 1) I don't agree, I think this looks bad due to how old it appears to be. Unappealing style for me. 2) I'm allowed my opinion and if it takes away from your enjoyment of the project then you should work on being more mentally resilient.

exactly 😭😭

Grave of the fireflies was Takahata

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I get “Puss In Boots: The Last Wish” vibes just from the trailer alone. I have this feeling that one of the things the film will be centered on is acceptance of death and mortality told through a fable in a fantasy setting like in that film, but told through the unique, classic Miyazaki style. Then again, my interpretation could be wrong. Miyazaki is a master at spectacularly subverting expectations, so it wouldn’t be the first time that he pleasantly surprised me on how the story or character dynamics will go.

I am also reminded of Tales from Earth Sea with the melting women. Although Howl’s Moving Castle also had similar animations.

Also the scene from Spirited away where Jihiro is protecting Kohaku from the paper seals from you Granny (Zeniba). They stick to the window and Jihiro when they attack.

He’s on the grind! 🎉😂

Not to take away from the sentiment but he has allegedly pitched another movie since this was announced. 😅

I refuse to believe any movie is Miyazaki's "last goodbye" until he's, well, dead. Not in a bad way, but how many times has Miyazaki said "I'm retiring, this is my last movie", and then had the urge to create overtake him again. Not that I'm complaining LMAO

@@turooru He's a temperamental bastard I take anything he says with a grain of salt. Literally old man yelling at clouds half the time.

​@@turooruyou should be complaining, if you want Is false marketing if you're always doing your "last" then is really annoying

We are all his grandson

So basically for us?

I think that's part of his genius. He makes very specific stories but that's why they're so universal. Too often movies end up stripped of that individuality and the end result is unrecognizable to real life. His movies are so specific they instantly feel like believable people we could get to know. That realism let's him create a connection with audiences that lets all of us go on journeys with him.

oh wow! Cool to know that context! thanks!

Even this trailer gives literally nothing away in the movie. The scenes they show here are from the very beginning of the movie before things start to "take place" (I don't want to give away spoilers). It's probably one of his most vibrant, colorful and wildly imaginable movies I've seen from him. Every single shot (especially in the last acts) is jawdropping. Also there were some unexpectedly disturbing scenes. It feels like one of his most mature films.

Was just going to say that. Hopefully it comes with none of the crushing depression that GOTF does, though.

I’m getting The Wind Rises vibes myself along with the ones listed above.

Yeah, those old women give me the Spirited Away vibe.

@@szaporta The opening few minutes feel GOTF but the remaining 99% of the film is more like Spirited away.

I'd say this is more like Princess Mononoke

I find it sad that animation like this takes years to make.

PREACH

​@@Bakut990doing it by hand is harder so they need more time. Look at bakers from old and now and how hard it was

@reddytoplay9188 Yeah, I know.

I got the same impression, exceptionally bad at Japanese but I could follow the film and what it was trying to say very well. It speaks how much Hayao can do with just images and music. It was a profound experience watching it as it was as new to the Japanese audience as it was to me, a foreigner. I'll never forget this memory

I can speak Japanese fairly well, and without spoiling much (even if you've already seen it), the final pieces of dialogue from the great uncle turn the entire movie into a metaphor for Miyazaki's own career and his retirement. It's wild.

@@JanneSala Can't wait to rewatch it then

私は公開日に観ましたがとても楽しめました。 ただ子供心の様なものがないとこの映画は刺さらないかなぁ、とも思います。

Is it another movie about war like grave of the fireflies?

My favorite filmmakers list includes people like Alfred Hitchcock and Ingmar Bergman and yes, Miyazaki. I think it's very clear he's the high watermark of modern directors at least, who anybody else wanting to follow their own muses but are unsure how should look to.

この映画は日本でも賛否両論

overrated af tbh, its the same shit about a boy/girl that goes to the same weird world with talking animals, rinse and repeat. he's been conning you weebs for years now lmao

I want a Legend Of Zelda Hayao Miyazaki directed Studio Ghibli movie before he decides to wrap it up! After the success of The Super Mario Bros movie it got me wanting a modern Zelda movie more than ever. I think with the obvious inspiration BOTW and TOTK have from mainly Princess Mononoke among other Ghibli films it shows how much Nintendo admires Hayao Miyazaki.

@@N0no420 Five years ago I would have said Nintendo would never let a man of such originality (Hayao Miyazaki) touch their formulaic IP, and now I believe this even more. Mario was a cookie cutter corporate advertisement; why would Miyazaki enter such a toxic artistic environment when he could instead focus on creating literal swan songs? I’m thrilled that he’s staying true to who he has always been as a filmmaker for his final projects.

Indeed. I almost teared up reading some of the comments in this video, talking about how much of a legendary and historic impact Miyazaki has made in the animation industry and to the world. All of the feels culminating in one video. 🥺🥹

I still don't believe it'll actually bee his "last" movie. Dude has been saying that forever. He's never going to retire, but one day he will still be lost to us :(

@@karwashblark7499 today there was a headline from studio ghibli PR head that this movie won’t be miyazakis last movie😅

Yeah, tears welled in my eyes. This looks absolutley magnificent.

I'll believe it's his last film when he passes. How many times has the guy come out of retirement now to do a "final" film? I can think of him saying this several times in the past decades.

🙏🙏

The studio of leading Japanese animation directors Mamoru Hosoda, Hideaki Anno, and Hiromasa Yonebayashi also participated in the production of this film, and it is deeply moving to see three people who were once taught by Hayao Miyazaki helping him in his later years.

This looked like a sequel to grave of the fireflies, the kid is even wearing the same thing at the end

Actually it's based off a book called How Do You Live?

​@@nillaqActually, it's mostly unrelated: it's an original story.

❤

Yeah, I concur. I watched the teaser out of sheer curiosity and excitement, but I pledged to myself that I will not see any more trailers or promotional material of the film in the future until I finally see it in theaters, even though it can be tempting. Either way, I think I’ll still enjoy the film regardless, as I personally feel that the teaser didn’t give away too much of the film as some other movie trailers these days and leaves a lot of room for future viewers to ponder what the film is actually about as they anticipate for the film’s release.

It's actually "Divine Power made me"/"I was made by divine power" It's part of the inscription at hell's entrance in Dante´s Divine Comedy, that ends with “abandon all hope, ye who enter here” .

this is done in 3d software with modern workflows btw

they still draw in tradiotional paper, at least key animation. don't go spewing bs plz@@n4rwal. and matte backgrounds are still used and painted.

@@n4rwal you work for them?

@@n4rwal nope, you're wrong. They only use 3D for some fx and camera movs

​@@elenavelasco.animationthey also use Digital compositing since sprited away (idk if it's mixed with cell shading or not). And yeah for some background shots. They are not close minded to CGI like a lot of people are

If you’re located in the US, the Regal Cinema theatre company does a ghibli festival and airs them in theatres for limited times. I got to see Nausicaa in the original Japanese and it was incredible.

Actually most theater chains in the US participate in Ghibli festival via Fathom Events.

@@ominoustomatoI saw Totoro, Howls Castle, Spirited Away, Kiki all in theaters the last 1.5 years. I even saw Tokyo GodFathers one day. This weekend I’m seeing Perfect Blue.

@@ominoustomato I'm sure I will get hate for saying this but the english dubbed version of that movie was done very well imo, and I enjoyed it more than if i had to read subtitles ꧁꧂

@@docula9153 If you get hate for saying that the dubbed version of Nausicaa was done very well, then those people HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Yeah, his son was the one who was in charge of the previous recent few films of Studio Ghibli. Hayao Miyazaki actually stated that he's been pretty disappointed with these past few movies and this movie is the first movie he's been in charge with in a while.

you should search about Hayao's mom and dad, their real family story is very important for this film

Can't make a comeback if you're already one of the goats.

Tell me your fav ones 🌸

@@yasira2131 My favorite Ghibli movie is "only yesterday" (the director is Takahata, not Miyazaki tho). The main character Taeko who has never had a countryside hometown visits the countryside where her brother-in-law lives for a long vacation, and through living with the people there, she begins to reevaluate her past and present. This was the only Ghibli movie (VHS) I had when I was kid. Like Taeko, I did not have a countryside hometown (the region where my grandparents live), so the summer vacation in elementary school was too long even for me. So I watched this movie in my room until I was worn out, and in my imagination, Taeko and I spent a long summer together. Not only the fact that I didn't have a countryside hometown, but also the various scenes in this movie were superimposed on my own life. The feeling of happiness and nervousness when I ran into the girl I liked on my way home from school and talked to her for the first time; the feeling that the world was being unreasonable when my parents got angry at me for being upset over an unreasonable happened and I lingered; the feeling that what I really wanted to do had been faded away by the will of someone other than myself and yet I was still able to laugh at it in a brave way. And there are so many other things. It was not that I had no friends or that life was difficult, but it was because for me, as an impressionable child born and raised in Tokyo at that time, this film was like a precious friend that filled in the anxiety and loneliness that I felt at that time would never be filled.

What are your favorites? Just curious

@@yasira2131 Mine is SPirited Away! So goood!

It doesn’t come out until December in theaters. How could you watch it?

agree, this 2d cartoon animation has unique way of delivering emotional expression, it cannot be replicated, or emulated in a live action even though CGI is heavily used, its just different, it has its own spectrum of taste

​@@joshuafischer8934animations for kids are so much more popular so people tend to generalize all animations as kids movies only Thats what i think

You should do what I do. I hand those people a copy of "Grave of the Fireflies," and then I say, "Watch this and then apologize to me." Some say "IF it's good I will" or "Yeah, right." And pretty much all of them come back looking shocked and apologize immediately.😂
