The Boy and The Heron is visually stunning with beautiful animation and spirit. While some found the pacing slow, especially in the beginning, others appreciated the dubs and visuals. The story was described as confusing and filled with metaphors, making it feel somewhat disjointed but not incomplete. Overall, it's an enjoyable film, though not the studio's best.
Beautifully animated and a bonkers story.
Way too slow in the beginning and I felt like it was a movie with nothing to say
Terribly slow and confusing story that makes zero sense. I could have made a much better movie than this with 1/10th of the budget. Total disappointment.
