What The Boy and the Beast Is About
Mamoru Hosoda's 2015 animation follows a boy who loses his mother and runs away. In another world a beast takes him on as an apprentice. Neither of them knows how to teach. The film turns training in combat into a story about fatherhood; the narrative makes choosing between two worlds its real subject. The story is the director's own. Koji Yakusho is among the voices. The crowd staging was drawn by hand. Who it's for: those who like animation centred on family. Who it's not for: viewers who will find the abstraction of the last section too much; the close changes register.
