Miyazaki really did an amazing job here. This film has one of the most beautifully tragic storylines of any Ghibli movie and was truely a phenomenal way to celebrate Miyazaki's career in film making. There is a lot of deeper meaning and symbolism in this film, telling an important message about war, grief, death and change.
The Boy and the Heron has some of the most gorgeous art to ever come out of a ghibli movie. I couldn't stop staring…
