If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli, for sure you saw this movie pop up out of nowhere. 'The Boy and the Heron' intentionally had almost zero marketing, including trailers, leaks, or cast list until the week before the release of the movie. Hayao Miyazaki has stated that this will be his last film, and we can't help but feel like it's the end of an era.

He was the driving force behind many well-known anime movie masterpieces for the last 30 years, such as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle. We don't know when this movie will be released in the United States, but based on these images, it already looks like a move we're going to love. We have loved every single one of his movies, and we're sure this one will be no different. Scroll down to read more about the plot and see these amazing images!

This is the official movie poster, and it looks like a classic Miyazaki image. He always has that weird twist inside that we love, while still being colorful, fantastic, and completely original. We can't wait to see the movie!

The Boy and the Heron follows a boy named Mahito Maki, who discovers an abandoned tower in his new town and enters a fantastical world with a talking grey heron. The movie is about balance and finding balance within yourself to bring balance to the world around you, in a nutshell.
