Founded in 2008, New York-based production studio and distributor GKIDS almost immediately established itself as the United States' most valuable lifeline to animated cinema from around the world, and so - after earning eight Oscar nominations for introducing modern classics like 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya' and 'Wolfwalkers' to American audiences - it might seem a bit overblown to suggest that the label's reputation could still hang in the balance of a single dub.
On February 24, 2017, Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki announced that legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki was coming out of his latest retirement to make another 'last' film... it was a foregone conclusion that GKIDS would eventually be responsible for its North American release. It was likewise a foregone conclusion that it would be the biggest and most important and high-profile project in the brief history of a company that had treated all of its films with the respect worthy of a titan's farewell.
