Vassilis Kroustallis reviews the Japanese animation feature 'Belle' by Mamoru Hosoda.

Check the teaser for the new feature animation by Japanese director Masaaki Yusua.

The new animation feature by Japanese directro Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children, Mirai) world premieres at Cannes Film Festival 2021.

The Yeon Sang-Ho urban thriller is now available to watch -and be impressed.

A feature film about kids and dogs, without ordinary kids and dogs.

Yeon Sang-ho's third feature is no less fierce and violent as his The King of Pigs and The Fake efforts, and wholeheartedly artistic at the same time.

The latest offering from Studio Ghibli is sweet and good-natured, but it doesn't match its previous achievements.

Mizuho Nishikubo's film is a breathtaking drama (but somewhat overbearing) on children and the WWII war.

 English clips from the Oscar-nominated Hayao Miyazaki film.

 Studio Ghibli's co-founder and animation director Takahata Isao directs his new feature film, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Watch the first six minutes of the film.

The only animated film to enter the official competition programme of the 70th Venice Film Festival is Miyazaki's new film, Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises).

The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki by Mamoru Hosoda is a well-studied, but lifeless experiment on identity and the motive of the feral child.

The dramatic A Letter to Momo by Hiroyuki Okiura won the Best Animated Feature award at the 6th Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

BFI London Film Festival will screen the latest Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars) film, Wolf Children.Watch the English trailer below.

From Up on Poppy Hill is deeply rooted in Japanese traditions -in fact, so deeply that it almost suffocates.

Children Who Chase Lost Voices by Makoto Shinkai is a rich journey into the world of dead, full of adventure - but leaves  much to be sensed about life and the role of humans within.

Colorful by Keiichi Hara makes the soul incarnation issue a tale of moral transformation, and is daring enough to visualize both sides of the moral coin.

The new film by the Japanese Masayuki Kojima and Madhouse presents a clearly defined story of responsibility (and soemtimes true love) between a boy and a dog.

The Japanese director and animator Keiichi Sato presents a rather dark new anime, Asura. Watch the trailer.

The independent US distributor GKids is ready to release the English-dubbed version of the Studio Ghibli film, From Up on Poppy Hill, in March 2013.
