New Ghibli film w/ France Partnership: The Red Turtle

[Masato]

Hey all

This looks cool.

With the master of Studio Ghibli retiring (Hayao Miyazaki), Studio Ghibli is looking to kickstart the next generation/evolution of their animated films

Their newest film coming out is a partnership with some studios in France and some French animator I never heard of...

Anyway, this new film is unique for 2 reasons:

1. It is a totally different style than typical Ghibli films, not the anime look

and

2. THERE IS NO DIALOGUE. Supposedly the film has ZERO dialogue and is only caried by the visual narrative and audio FX.


very bold.
Film tells the story of a man shipwrecked at sea who becomes stranded on a deserted island inhabited by turtles, crabs and birds. He learns to live in isolation, until he comes upon a woman lost at sea and begins a life with her.

Looks great:
