Studio Ghibli has been producing award-winning animated films since its founding in 1985. From Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke to My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle, the studio has an incredible catalog of films to its name. One of its newest arrivals is The Boy and the Heron--released in 2023, it's the first Ghibli film to ever get a 4K Blu-ray release. But if you're looking for a different way to experience the story, consider preordering The Art of the Boy and the Heron. Amazon has opened preorders ahead of its May 27 release, and the hardcover collection looks like an excellent companion for the iconic film.
