Directed by Goro Miyazaki, the son of Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki, the CG animated film is based on the children novel ‘Earwig and The Witch’, which was written by the same author who wrote ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’, Diana Wynne. Besides, it has also been overseen by the elder Miyazaki.

The film will be aired on NHK, a Japanese broadcast this winter, but there are currently no plans for it to be released on theaters in Japan. However, it was known that France’s Wild Bunch has been appointed to handle international rights sales.
