The Boy and the Heron was screened as the opening film at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Nishioka stated that this is not Miyazaki's last film and that he is already coming to the office with new ideas.

Eventually, everyone believed this would be Miyazaki's last film, as he is now 82 years old. Furthermore, it took him about 5 years to complete the project, but it seems he still has many ideas in mind.

Hayao Miyazaki is one of Japan's most respected and influential animators, being the co-founder of Studio Ghibli. He also directed Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke , and Moving Castle.

Initially, The Boy and the Heron didn't have any trailers, and no details about its plot or visuals were revealed before its release in Japan. The only thing Studio Ghibli released was an enigmatic poster. According to Miyazaki, the film's details were kept secret to generate suspense among the audience.

Synopsis:

The Boy and the Heron is inspired by the story of Genzaburo Yoshino, published in 1937. Therefore, the book's story follows the journey of Copper, a 15-year-old boy who goes on a great quest to discover the meaning of life. However, Miyazaki stated that his film will have a different story.
