Looks worthy of an Oscar nom. Too bad the voters don't do dark toons. Or at least dark anime.

I saw it while I was in Japan... If the oscar people view it as a film from a master filmmaker, it has a chance. If they view is as an animated cartoon for children, it will lose to something else. I'll probably go see it again when it comes out in December in the US. It deserves a second viewing, there was so many little things in it I barely caught the first time. |

A 71-second trailer and the message and artistry is already overflowing from the screen. This feels overwhelmingly relevant.

It'll have some tough competition. Spider-verse was probably my top movie this year. And then there's Mario and Elementals which will be there because of popularity/studio backing. |

Obviously looking forward to it - it's a good bet to get an Oscar nom (The Wind Rises and Howl's Moving Castle were nominated) but I imagine Spider-Verse will still end up winning that

This looks absolutely stunning! The full movie definitely has the chance to beat out Spider-verse for my favorite film of the year.

Since GKIDS only mention the release date for the theatrical, That means they not have plan on the english dub ?

Cardcaptor: They snubbed A Scanner Darkly, GITS: Innocence, Kon, Metropolis, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and Miyazaki's Ponyo. So, no guarantees on getting in.

Looks awesome!
Miyazaki's name alone will give it a better chance at a nomination, even without Disney. Mario will get a nom too. But Spider-Verse will more than likely be the guaranteed winner on name recognition alone. And well, Spider-Verse was good and is a high bar to beat, despite the cliffhanger, so I ain't gonna complain about this year's winner, unless The Boy and the Heron is that much better... |

I can't recall them releasing an anime movie without a dub, so I'm sure it is planned. Ocean Waves is the one exception I'm aware of, but that got a very limited theatrical release while The Boy and the Heron will likely be a country-wide release. |

IMO, the majority of film goers don't give a crap about the Oscars. It's well-known that they hardly take animated films seriously and that they award it to "popular" American films (e.g. Frozen beating The Wind Rizes; Big Hero 6 over Princess Kaguya, etc.). Miyazaki-san's films (and Ghibli's as a whole) are works of art that will last forever; the Oscars will one day sink without trace.
