The Deer King Now Playing In The US

So Sword of the Stranger and Princess Mononoke cross paths? I am definitely thrilled about this because I adore both of those movies, which rank among my all-time favorites. In addition, the fact that it is a father and kid narrative makes me think of The last of us.

It appears to have great potential, and the similarities to Ghibli films further add to its allure. I've been waiting for another gorgeous anime film, and I can already tell that this one will have me in tears.
