If you are a Miyazaki fan you can put this in your cart right now!
This film is surprising, weird, funny and wonderful like all Miyazaki's!

This is a beautiful movie that really takes advantage of the 4k HDR disc.
A classic Miyazaki that is unpredictable and takes you to wonderful places!
I don't think it's the absolute best he's done but it's still very, very good. It's a little hard to identify with and keep track of the characters but it doesn't matter too much because I'll be watching it again!
At first it looks barely better than a blu ray. But as the picture goes on it seems they got better and better at using the format to full effect. Detail is only a little better than a blu ray disc but colors are much more nuanced and vibrant. HDR is utilized in well when depicting fire and sunlight streaming through the scenes.
Also surprisingly good is the audio. I believe this movie has the best audio/effects of any Ghibli film. A great use of your system for sure.
So it's probably the best looking and sounding Miyazaki film but I pray it isn't his last!
I'd love to see earlier Ghibli films given the 4K treatment as well but I'm so happy to have this to watch!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of Animation and Storytelling
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2024

"The Boy and the Heron" is an exceptional film that combines stunning animation with a profound narrative. Directed by the renowned filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, this movie is a visual and emotional delight. The story follows a young boy's journey through a fantastical world, where he encounters a mysterious heron. The animation is breathtaking, showcasing Miyazaki's signature style and attention to detail.

The film's themes of loss, growth, and discovery are handled with depth and sensitivity, making it a compelling watch for audiences of all ages. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is both engaging and thought-provoking. The musical score complements the visuals perfectly, adding to the overall immersive experience.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates high-quality animation and storytelling. This film is a testament to Miyazaki's genius and a must-watch for fans of animated cinema.

4.0 out of 5 stars A work of Art
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
I’m not an anime watcher so I’ve barely seen any but I went to go see this movie when it came out and it was absolutely stunning. I assure you, even if you’re not a anime fan either, this movie has the capability to capture you in a world of a breathtaking masterpiece. This beautiful steelbook’s cover barely captures the sheer and utter magnificence of this films art. It is a work of art through out the entire film, even if you are left wondering “what the heck is going on”, you cannot escape how gorgeous this movie is.

storey is bad, boring, unimaginative regurgitation of style. character detail is worse then what it was in the 80s, very low frame rate animations make it clumsy and annoying to the eye to watch. charactors have no personality and dont offer anything to get interested or attached too. cant believe this actually came from SG... its like they spent as little effort as possible wanting the name to carry sales on a hollow product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film de Miyazaki
Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2024
Verified Purchase
J'ai vu ce film au cinéma le premier week-end de sa sortie en décembre dernier et je n'avais regardé aucune bande-annonce et j'essayais de ne regarder aucune publicité/promotion du film afin de me garder la surprise et d'essayer d'avoir l'expérience comme Hayayo Miyazaki l'a pensé (au Japon, seule une simple affiche faisait office de promotion). Je ne regrette pas du tout d'avoir fait ce choix.

Ce film est incroyablement bien écrit et génial... très différent des autres films cependant. Les "grands" films Ghibli, des années 80-90 surtout avaient des thèmes très forts comme l'environnement et la guerre. Ce film, lui, n'est pas dans ce registre pour le thème principal. Oui, il y a encore certains des thèmes chers à Miyazaki (comme la guerre et la présence d'une personnage féminine forte), mais ce ne sont pas les messages que Miyazaki veut transmettre. Comme il l'avait expliqué dans certaines interviews, ce film est beaucoup plus personnel. Il transpose surtout et avant tout sa relation avec son petit-fils, (aller au prochain paragraphe pour vous éviter toute information) le fait qu'il n'est pas éternel et qu'il va mourir un jour, bientôt. Ce film parle du deuil qu'un jeune garçon doit faire de sa mère qui est morte lors d'un incendie. Pour cela, il va rencontrer un jour, un héron proche d'un ancien bâtiment en ruine, inaccessible et ce dernier l'amènera dans un monde où il fera la rencontre d'une jeune fille.

Pour ce qui est de l'animation, si vous avez regardez les autres films de Ghibli et de Miyazaki, alors vous savez à quoi vous attendre. Ce film est encore une magnifique œuvre d'animation 2D avec de superbes paysages, décors et environnements (ainsi qu'une nourriture au visuel délicieux).

Néanmoins, lors de mon visionnage au cinéma (mon unique visionnage pour le moment), je n'avais pas remarqué de musiques particulièrement marquante, excepté la musique de fin du générique, comme d'autres films ont été capable de le faire par le passé. Cela veut peut-être aussi dire que la musique accompagnait parfaitement le film, donc ce n'est pas nécessairement mauvais.

Le seul aspect négatif que j'ai avec le film se trouve à être avec cette version physique... car j'ai écouté le film au cinéma en français, avec encore un doublage d'une très grande qualité. Cependant, cette version physique ne contient pas du tout la VF. Il n'y a que les versions japonaise (originale), anglaise et espagnol qui sont incluses et je trouve ça vraiment bien dommage. J'ai écouté rapidement ce que donnait la VA et elle ne semble pas mauvaise du tout comparé à d'autres films Ghibli dont j'ai un peu plus de mal avec la version anglaise. Néanmoins, les sous-titres possèdent une version française (avec l'anglais et l'espagnol).

Au final, bien que la version française est manquante, je vous recommande fortement d'écouter ce film, dernier né du Studio Ghibli.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps Miyazaki's best film.
Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2024
Verified Purchase
As a lifelong fan of the works of Hayao Miyazaki, I would consider The Boy and the Heron to be the best movie of his career. It is perhaps a bit more challenging than some of his other films, but I think that's part of what makes it so engaging. It's not easy to just absorb in one go, but it's embedded with textured emotions. It's a fairy tale about processing grief, life and death. When I first saw it in theatres, I was thinking about it for days. The animation is just as good as you'd expect from a Ghibli film directed by Miyazaki. Particularly the opening sequence of the film. And the minimalist score is a standout for composer Joe Hisaishi.

I ordered the steelbook, and love the gorgeous packaging. I have a few Ghibli steelbooks now, and this one might be my favourite for the artwork.

Now, Amazon stupidly files all reviews for a single film, despite the fact that different releases or editions of a film might have different disc transfers, bonus features, etc.
That being said, whether you buy the standard blu-ray, or the 4K UHD disc, you'll get a fine transfer of the film either way. (also both editions are combo packs, the 4K comes with the blu-ray, and the blu-ray edition comes with a DVD) I would happily give 5 stars to any of the three releases of this film.

The film has a modest selection of bonus features (including the complete storyboards, a standard for almost all studio Ghibli home video releases). The film has both a Japanese track with literal English subtitles, and a dub. I prefer to watch any foreign film, animated or live action in the original language with subtitles. That being said, the English dub is excellent (particularly Robert Patterson as the Heron)

Highly, highly recommended.

Good movie, stay tuned for a multitude of Miyazaki easter eggs. The movie is about death, life and rebirth and the consequences of making a fantasy world. The movie is set in the war era as most of his earlier films have been, including but not limited to Nausicaä, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Totoro, The Wind Rises. Looking forward to his next work. Definitely recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Miyazaki’s First 4K Movie
Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2024
Verified Purchase
Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are now synonymous with some of the best animated features in the world. And now, just when we’d thought Miyazaki would stay in retirement after announcing he was leaving animation, he’s come back one more time with another tale of children in a world of the fantastical and a meditation on grief.

Beyond the quality of the movie, the important thing here is that this is hopefully just the first of future Studio Ghibli films in 4K. Expectations are riding high for this, and the image delivers. Keep in mind that, to a certain degree, this isn’t a “true” 4K film and might be considered an upscale. Studio Ghibli transitioned to digital filmmaking in the 00s, and the resolution is typically stored at 2K. However, even as an upscale, the sharpness is brilliant, and thanks to HDR, the colors are vibrant, with rich blacks and some strong, pleasing contrasts.

The audio is another treat, with a Dolby Atmos mix for both Japanese and English, so regardless of where you fall on the subs vs. dubs debate, you’ll still get a rich audio experience with the right home theater speaker setup. The Joe Hisaishi score soars and all the speakers get a workout for different scenes in the movie as it gets more surreal and fantastical.

There are a decent number of extras, but all of them are on the second disc, the Blu-Ray version of the movie; there’s nothing on the 4K disc. You get a feature-length storyboard, several interviews with some of the people involved in the film, but unfortunately not Miyazaki himself, a music video, and some teasers and trailers.

All in all, if you enjoyed this movie, the 4K version is worth adding to your collection. If you’re a Miyazaki fan and you hope this is just the first of many 4K films to come, including the classics of old, then you’ll probably want to show support and get this disc.

This is definitely some of Miyazaki’s best work. Every time you watch it you have a different experience of the film. It’s very captivating and beautifully shot. You learn to love what each of the characters offer to the story. As for the steelbook itself it is beyond expectation. Definitely has the most effort put into it compared to the other ghibli steelbooks. Worth every penny!
