Where to start with The Boy and the Heron

One film, just over two hours. It is the hardest Ghibli film to follow and that is deliberate. It does not explain itself and it is better if you let it not.

    The Boy and the Heron (2023) The Boy and the Heron

    A boy whose mother died in the war follows a talking heron into a tower. Miyazaki's most personal film and his most difficult.

Then what? Nothing has followed. As of August 2026 the studio has said publicly that it has not decided on its next feature and that discussions are casual.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
