Trailer for HAYAO MIYAZAKI AND THE HERON, a Documentary About the Making of the Anime
Here’s a trailer for an upcoming documentary about the making of Studio Ghibli’s beautiful anime film The Boy and the Heron. The doc is titled Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron.
Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron is an expanded version of Kaku Arakawa’s documentary 2399 Days with Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli, which has already aired on Japanese television.
The doc offers us a "two-hour window into the heart of Hayao Miyazaki's creative process. The documentary follows six long years of work during the making of The Boy and the Heron."
The synopsis reads: “Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron is a two-hour documentary that chronicles the making of The Boy and the Heron, filmed with exclusive access to Studio Ghibli across an astonishing seven years.
“It is also a record of the collaboration between filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki as they perform an intricate dance of disappointment and friendship, mirroring that of Mahito and the Heron, as Suzuki pushes Miyazaki ever further into his creativity, ultimately delivering an unprecedented masterpiece.”
This new version of the movie is set to screen at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, but it has no official release date yet.
