Nothing short of amazing.
by Jon Turner
Mamoru Hosoda's fifth feature, MIRAI, is probably the most down-to-earth of the films he has done so far, which isn't to say it isn't any less amazing. Although its storyline, about a spoiled, pampered kid named Kun who feels neglected by his parents when a new baby enters his life, may seem simplistic and small-scale, it's told with as much heart, imagination, and emotional conviction as any of his films. Anyone who has ever been in situations like Kun will surely relate to this film, and even adults will find a lot to enjoy as well. The animation is absolutely beautiful as well. Finally, there's a top-notch dub by the folks at NYAV Post, with young Jaden Waldman doing an especially great job as Kun, and Crispin Freeman in yet another standout turn. MIRAI very much deserved its Oscar nomination; as a thoughtful look at sibling rivalry and an all around gorgeous film, it excels as both.
Come on, it's not THAT bad.

Okay, so maybe this isn't my favorite of Hosoda's work (I liked THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME and WOLF CHILDREN more), but having said that MIRAI still is worth a look. Yeah, Kun could be bratty and annoying at times, but given his situation, it's understandable. And he does change. The animation is absolutely gorgeous, especially one scene where a character gallops through a sunset driven cornfield. And sorry, but whoever said this dub is awful... I simply don't see it. To me, it's nothing but excellent. And that includes the "big names" and young Jaden Waldman's Kun. The Japanese version is... really not that good. Kun is played by a 17-year-old woman, and not convincingly so. Honestly, this plays so much better dubbed. So in short, not Hosoda's best, but still gorgeous and heartwarming. Definitely worth a look!
A decent wholesome movie.

Blu-Ray and DVD wise, it's perfect, nothing wrong there. This was my introduction to Mamoru Hosoda. The main character Kun is annoying for a good part of the movie, but he is like, 5 years old, so that's to be expected. The concept is also just one of those that's just really fun. Most of the movie is just a fun ride without that much below the surface.
There is a mildly scary scene in the last third that parents should be aware of before letting their children watch.
