The Boy and the Beast On Amazon Prime
posted on by Andrew Osmond
Mamoru Hosoda's film The Boy and The Beast is now available on Amazon Prime here.
The story of The Boy and The Beast is set in the human realm (Tokyo's Shibuya ward) and the bakemono realm ("Jūtengai"). In these two worlds that must not intersect, there lives a lonely boy (Aoi Miyazaki, Shōta Sometani) and a lonely bakemono (Kōji Yakusho). One day, the boy gets lost in the bakemono world, becomes the disciple of the bakemono Kumatetsu, and is renamed Kyūta.
Hosoda (Summer Wars, Wolf Children) created and scripted the movie. The film is Hosoda's first film since 2012, when his relatively new animation movie company Studio Chizu released Wolf Children as its first project. Masakatsu Takagi (Wolf Children) scored the soundtrack.
