The Boy and the Heron (2023) Netflix
After his mother's death, 12-year-old Mahito is sent to her hometown, where a strange, talking heron hints that she may still be alive. Drawn into an abandoned tower, Mahito slips into a surreal realm where the living and the dead coexist, encountering uncanny creatures and memories that push him to confront grief and seek understanding. A semi-autobiographical fantasy from Hayao Miyazaki, The Boy and the Heron uses dreamlike imagery to explore loss, creation, friendship, and the possibility of new beginnings; its title echoes a 1937 novel but the film tells an original story.
