The Boy And The Heron Steelbook: Studio Ghibli's Only 4K Blu-Ray On Sale For Best-Ever Price
Get the latest animated hit directed by legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki for only $25 at Amazon and Walmart
Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron Steelbook Edition is on sale for its lowest price yet at Amazon and Walmart. Released last summer on 4K Blu-ray for $45, The Boy and the Heron Steelbook is up for grabs for only $25.
The 4K Steelbook Edition of The Boy and the Heron is actually cheaper than the standard 4K edition ($32) and 1080p Blu-ray ($25.75) at the moment.
The Boy and the Heron became the second Hayao Miyazaki-directed Ghibli film to win the the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It's widely considered to be one of the storied animation studio's best films, joining classics such My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, and Spirited Away--the other Ghibli film that took home the Academy Award.
The steelbook matches the aesthetics of previous Studio Ghibli limited-edition releases, but it's the first 4K Blu-ray from the beloved studio. It's actually the second Hayao Miyazaki film to receive a 4K release, as The Castle of Cagliostro, Miyazaki's directorial debut, released on 4K a few years back. It's a great animated comedy, but it initially released in 1979, years before the formation of Studio Ghibli.
All three versions of The Boy and the Heron include the following bonus features:
- Feature-Length Storyboards
- Interview with Composer Joe Hisaishi
- Interview with Producer Toshio Suzuki
- Interview with Supervising Animator Takeshi Honda
- Drawing with Takeshi Honda
- "Spinning Globe" Music Video
- Teasers and Trailers
