When Marnie Was There

When Marnie Was There is the first film from Studio Ghibli since the huge success of The Tale of the Princess Kaguya last year and looks set to be another treat.

The film sees Hiromasa Yonebayashi back in the director's chair for his first feature for the studio since Arrietty back in 2010 - I am looking forward to seeing what he delivers this time around.

We have a set of brand new images for you to take a look at.

When Marnie Was There is based on the novel of the same name by Joan G. Robinson and sees Kiernan Shipka, Hailee Steinfeld, Kathy Bates, Ellen Burstyn, Catherine O'Hara and John C. Reilly all lend their voices to the project.

A touching tale of love, loneliness, and friendship, When Marnie Was There is the story of an emotionally distant adolescent girl, who upon being sent to live with relatives in the countryside becomes obsessed with an abandoned mansion, and infatuated with a girl who lives there; a girl who may or may not be real.

The film has been described as "Ghibli Gothic," with its moonlit seascapes, glowing orchestral score, and powerful dramatic portrayals that build to a stormy climax.

The movie has already been nominated for the Best Animated Oscar this year and is set to be another gem from Studio Ghibli. A must-see if you are a fan of this genre of film.

When Marnie Was There is released 10th June.
