In a star-studded evening of glamour and celebrations of cinematic excellence, “The Boy and the Heron” triumphed to win the prestigious Oscar for Best Animated Feature. The film, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences the world over. In 2003, Spirited Away also secured the same award.
Key Visual:
Ghibli Studio presents the film in this way:
A young boy named Mahito
yearning for his mother
ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.
There, death comes to an end,
and life finds a new beginning.
A semi-autobiographical fantasy
about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship,
from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
