College student Hana falls in love with a “wolf man” and together they have two half-human, half-wolf children, Ame and Yuki. The young family’s happy but humble life comes to an abrupt end when the father is tragically killed during a hunt. After struggling to raise her children in the busy city, Hana boldly decides to move to a dilapidated house in the countryside, in hopes that her children may one day decide their own path to happiness – whether “human” or “wolf.”
This heart-wrenching modern fairy tale is a staggering work of beauty and emotion from Academy Award®-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda. Rich with gorgeous animation and set to a poignant musical score, WOLF CHILDREN is a sweeping tale about self-discovery and the bonds of family.
“The film works as the simplest of fairy tales, so scrumptious you’ll want to devour it whole.” (London Evening Standard)
“It’s a fairytale in a real-life setting, photorealistically drawn in shifting light that rivals Monet or GTA5.” (Guardian)
“It is an exceptionally beautiful film, with the lingering glory and magisterial quality that recalls Miyazaki’s greatest work.” (The Tyee)
“Judging from his last three films, I count Hosoda Mamoru as the true hope of quality anime in the future. Because he dared to make The Wolf Children a film which is, first and foremost, for the parents!” (ScreenAnarchy)
