Mamoru Hosoda’s newest creation has had its first trailer released today. ‘Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki’ ( The Wolf Children Rain and Snow) is his newest project and if is anything like his previous master pieces ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through Time’ / ‘Summer Wars’, then this movie will be brilliant.
Summer Wars (2009) won several awards as well as the Japan 2010 Academy Prize for Animation of the Year. ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through Time’ (2006) won numerous awards including Japan 2007 Academy Prize for Animation of the Year. Thus I already expect at least a nomination for this movie for the Japan 2012 Academy Prize for Animation of the Year.
‘The Wolf Children Rain and Snow’s’ premiere is due at Japanese theatres on July 21, 2012, don’t miss out, or you will most likely regret it.
