Watch The North American Trailer For Studio Ghibli’s ‘From Up On Poppy Hill’

It’s a good time to be a Ghibli fan.

Late last month, the studio’s collaboration with Level-5 finally made it to North America. The game is called Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and the sheer quality of the title has cause it to quickly climb to the top of my favourite games list.

Now, in just over a month, us North Americans will be getting another dose of Studio Ghibli. Goro Miyazaki’s From Up On Poppy Hill is set to hit theatres on March 15th; the film released back in 2011 in Japan, but it’ll be hitting our shores with a fresh new vocal track featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Christina Hendricks, Ron Howard, Aubrey Plaza, and more.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know what you think!

From Academy Award(R) winner Hayao Miyazaki and director Goro Miyazaki comes this uniquely inspired coming-of-age story. Set in Yokohama in 1963, as Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics, the story centers on Umi and Shun, two high school kids caught up in the changing times. But a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart. With its rich color palette, stunning exteriors, sun-drenched gardens, bustling cityscapes and painterly detail, From Up on Poppy Hill provides a pure, sincere, and nuanced evocation of the past, and marks yet another creative triumph for Studio Ghibli.
