The Boy and the Heron (Japanese: 君たちはどう生きるか, Hepburn: Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka, lit. 'How Do You Live?') is a 2023 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Produced by Studio Ghibli, the Japanese title references Genzaburō Yoshino's 1937 novel of the same name.[1] The Japanese voice cast includes Soma Santoki, Masaki Suda, Ko Shibasaki, Aimyon, Yoshino Kimura, Takuya Kimura, Kaoru Kobayashi, and Shinobu Otake.[2] The film follows a boy named Mahito Maki during the Pacific War who discovers an abandoned tower in his new town after his mother's death and enters a fantastical world with a talking gray heron.[3]
The film was released in Japanese theaters on July 14, 2023, by Toho.[4] It had its international premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7,[5] and after preview screenings on November 22,[6] it was released theatrically in the United States on December 8, 2023.[7] It was generally acclaimed by critics; on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% from 250 critics, with an average rating of 8.5 out of 10.[8] As of May 15, 2024[update], the film has grossed US$294.2 million internationally, making it the fifth highest-grossing Japanese film of all time.[9]
The Boy and the Heron received numerous awards and nominations, particularly for its animation and musical score, composed by Joe Hisaishi. At the 96th Academy Awards, Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki won Best Animated Feature – the second hand-drawn production to do so after Miyazaki's 2001 film Spirited Away.[10] At the 81st Golden Globe Awards, it received Best Animated Feature Film, with Hisaishi being nominated for Best Original Score. At the 77th British Academy Film Awards, Miyazaki and Suzuki won Best Animated Film, marking the first time a Japanese-language film had received the award.[11]
