It is the first work Miyazaki has directed since 2013’s The Wind Rises feature.
In the Owaranai Hito Miyazaki Hayao (Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki) special that aired in November 2016, Miyazaki reported that he wants to return to making an anime feature film after “Kemushi no Boro.”
The official website of the Ghibli Museum announced on Tuesday that Hayao Miyazaki’s “Kemushi no Boro” (Boro the Caterpillar) CG short is now slated to debut at the museum on March 21.
Studio Ghibli chairperson Koji Hoshino revealed last month that he “hopes to see” the short debut in 2018.
