FUNimation Entertainment has just announced the theatrical date and English dub cast for The Boy and The Beast. The film comes from acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda. The film will premiere in theaters across North America on March 4, 2016. Fans can choose to watch it with the original Japanese audio and English subtitles or with the new English dub.

A poster for the film is featured below. FUNimation provided a synopsis of the film:

The Boy and The Beast” (“Bakemono no Ko” in Japanese) tells the story of Kyuta, a young orphan living on the streets of Shibuya, who stumbles into a fantastic world of beasts. He’s taken in by Kumatetsu, a gruff, rough-around-the-edges warrior beast who’s been searching for the perfect apprentice. Despite their constant bickering, Kyuta and Kumatetsu begin training together and slowly form a bond as surrogate father and son. But when a deep darkness threatens to throw the human and beast worlds into chaos, the strong bond between this unlikely family will be put to the ultimate test—a final showdown that will only be won if the two can finally work together using all of their combined strength and courage.
