As the animation world buzzes with the news of Hayao Miyazaki’s latest film, “The Boy and the Heron,” expectations are sky-high for what is being heralded as another masterpiece from the legendary filmmaker.

The Voices That Will Bring the Story to Life
The English dub of “The Boy and the Heron” features a star-studded cast that includes Christian Bale, Florence Pugh, and Robert Pattinson, among others. Bale, no stranger to Ghibli films having previously starred in “Howl’s Moving Castle,” is set to bring his considerable talent to this new venture. The Japanese voice cast, while details are less publicized, is expected to match the high caliber of talent seen in Studio Ghibli’s storied history.
