Cast Member: Keiko Takeshita

A portrait of quiet hope and self-worth painted with the delicate strokes the director so often uses.

An easy recommendation as it’s still a fun-filled family adventure that is suitably heart-warming and easy on the eye.

Beginning somewhat sombre and low key before exploding into a cavalcade of colour and crazy (talking) creatures, ‘The Boy And The Heron’ is pure unbridled Miyazaki.
