Hayao Miyazaki returns to the cinema with “The Boy and the Heron”. The opportunity to (re)discover three of his masterpieces… and the false connections they contain.
He is one of the greatest masters of Japanese animation… and animation in general. Ten years after his last feature film, Hayao Miyazaki returns with a new gem, The Boy and the Heron, released on November 1 on French screens. Perhaps the final film by the 82-year-old filmmaker, who here adapts the novel And you, how will you live? by Genzaburō Yoshino as a testamentary work for his grandson.
This is the twelfth entry in a filmography studded with masterpieces, such as My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Princess Mononoke (1997) and Spirited Away (2001) that Michel & Michel enjoyed to be analyzed through the prism of their (rare) false connections. AlloCiné’s technical specialists share their findings with you in the video above, between failed animations and fun little details. But rest assured, nothing can call into question the indisputable and undisputed talent of sensei Miyazaki.
On the program for this special Ghibli show, our two friends have unearthed for you a door that changes direction, non-animated characters, a cake that appears and disappears, magical tiles, a necklace that loses its teeth, invading corpses, miscounted hair, an umbrella handle that changes color or even a huge zoological error that will make you “goat”. In short, heavy, very very heavy as they regularly like to say!
And speaking of animated classics, why not take the opportunity to take a look at our Disney special part 1 and part 2? Michel & Michel analyze the false connections of Snow White, Cinderella, Bambi, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty or The Jungle Book. And they can guarantee you that a few errors have escaped your (amazed) children’s eyes in Uncle Walt’s masterpieces…
