Okami Kodomo Trailer Released

The official website for creator/director Mamoru Hosoda’s forthcoming fantasy film Okami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki has released a nice teaser trailer. While the trailer linked through the official site is limited to viewers in Japan only, publisher Kadokawa has formally released the same trailer for international viewers. The movie will hit Japanese theaters on July 21.

The flick has a much more “Ghibli-esque” look to it than Hosoda’s previous works, which isn’t a complaint. With the fan community increasingly calling contemporary Ghibli movies stale, perhaps Hosoda can give us the sort of golden era Ghibli film that Ghibli itself seems to not make anymore.
