Mamoru Hosoda’s “Mirai” UK Cinematic Release Date Announced

Anime Limited have announced that Mamoru Hosoda’s “Mirai” will receive it’s cinematic release in the UK on the 2nd November 2018, with tickets and screening locations soon becoming available to pre-book on the official website.

New information, such as screening times and locations will be added to the website once available; but at least we know when the film will be shown in cinemas across the UK.

Synopsis: Mirai follows a 4-year old boy who is struggling to cope with the arrival of a little sister in the family, until things turn magical. A mysterious garden in the backyard of the boy’s home becomes a gateway allowing the child to travel back in time and encounter his mother as a little girl and his great-grandfather as a young man. These fantasy-filled adventures allow the child to change his perspective and help him become the big brother he was meant to be.

Mirai, which is the ‘working title’ for this film, is a story by Mamoru Hosoda, who is famous for films such as Summer Wars and Wolf Children, and is being animated by his own production studio, Chizu. We expect Anime Limited to announce further details in the coming months; but for the time being an English Subtitled trailer can be found below.
