Went out this morning with my dad and saw...
...The Boy and the Heron. If it wouldn't be convenient for you to see it- I would say: Don't. There's a lot of recycled material from earlier movies of his oeuvre:
Group of little old ladies (check)
Funky animal characters (birds in this case- can't say I wasn't charmed by the parakeets when they left the tower en masse and became small though) (check)
Weird imagery related to magic (check)
WWII-related imagery (check, check, and ultra-check)
