The Boy and The Beast
I’m trying to watch any anime film showing in the state. I caught The Boy and The Beast at one of the fancier cinemas in the suburbs. It was the dubbed version. Nothing wrong with an English dub. It’s just I think we lose the nuance in the switch of voice actors from Japanese to English.
This one is a Mamoru Hosoda joint. He’s the latest up and coming feature length anime director to be touted as a Studio Ghibli replacement. He’s not bad. I’ve enjoyed several of his anime features, but he just doesn’t spark me as interesting. He’s no Kon, but then who is.
3 of 5 stars.
