Rented The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki’s latest film.

I intentionally didn’t look up anything about it. Starts slow, then gets a bit creepy, then full on Ghibli fantasy, and more info that wraps all the partial info you’ve been given into something that makes sense.

If you like Howl’s Moving Castle, I think you’ll like this one.

If you want the original Japanese with English subtitles, I know renting from Apple will work because that’s what I did.

Amazon looked like only the English dub, but not sure since I specifically wanted to hear the original voices.

I also didn’t look up anything about it and took two 7-year-olds to see it in the theater. It was tricky, took some patience for sure, but I think in the end they were happy to have seen it. I need to watch it again—without them.

Ah, some of those slow quiet parts I really enjoyed I’d guess would bore a 7 year old. Then again, they got to see some bad-ass parakeets. 😉
