One of my favorite films from the Studio Ghibli library is being lined up the Ghiblifest that’s underway this year with Whisper of the Heart. The film is scheduled for a July 1st and 2nd debut in the US and a July 1st, 2019 debut in Canada. Check out their trailer for it below highlighting its release!
Directed by Yoshifumi Kondo based on the screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki, the film stars Issei Takahashi as Seiji Amasawa and Youko Honna as Shizuku Tsukishima. The English language cast includes Brittany Snow as Shizuku Tsukishima and David Gallagher as Seiji Amasawa.
Plot Concept: Shizuku Tsukishima, a young girl in junior high, loves to read. Yet, every time she opens a library book, it seems the same name appears on the cards: “Seiji Amasawa”. As Shizuku learns who this person is, she also begins to learn about herself and her goals in life—a discovery that will change her life forever.
