He acknowledged that the new film is closer to the human drama of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Wolf Children than the action stories of Summer Wars and The Boy and The Beast.
The new film’s theme will be “siblings,” continuing on from the themes of “youth” in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, “family” in Summer Wars, “motherhood” in Wolf Children, and “fatherhood” in The Boy and The Beast.
Hosoda directed such critically and financially successful anime movies as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and Wolf Children.
