He Already Has New Ideas – The Boy & The Heron Isn’t Miyazaki’s Last Movie Ghibli Producer Confirms

While The Boy and the Heron was initially announced to be Hayao Miyazaki’s last movie, that’s just been announced to no longer be the case. In 2017, Studio Ghibli announced that Miyazaki was working on a new film titled The Boy and the Heron, also known as How Do You Live? in Japan, and that it would be his final film before retirement. While Miyazaki had announced plans to retire in the past, Miyazaki’s age was a noted factor in The Boy and the Heron’s long production cycle, and with the film being intended to give his grandchildren something to remember him by, it seemed like Miyazaki would finally retire.
