If you’re a Studio Ghibli aficionado, you might be wondering who is in The Boy and the Heron cast. Well, this stellar film by Hayao Miyazaki does not disappoint and neither does the English dubbed cast.

The Boy and the Heron is a semi-autobiographical film about a boy in wartime Japan. Many scenes derive from certain events from Miyazaki’s childhood. The protagonist Mahito moves to the countryside with his father Shoichi to take up residence at the Gray Heron Mansion, where Mahito unravels a series of self-discoveries. The film offers a mystical insight into the boundaries of life and death.

GKids, who is in charge of the English dub of the Japanese movie, had the big opportunity to bring the film to the West. “This is a very complicated film,” GKIDS president Dave Jesteadt told IndieWire, “and I don’t think Miyazaki will ever do an interview where he lays out what it all means. But we asked a lot of questions, and we got a lot of answers back,” many of them from Ghibli co-founder and frequent Miyazaki producer Toshio Suzuki. “I feel really privileged to have what feels like a skeleton key for what things were supposed to represent or mean.
