Japanese animation is defined by one wholesome studio which reverberates the feel of simple, artistically effective and emotionally appealing animation, it is none other than Hayao Miyazaki dominated Studio Ghibli.
The Red Turtle, a feature film produced by Why Not Productions and Wild Bunch in association with Studio Ghibli, will premiere at Cannes and will be released in Japan this September. Serving as the directorial debut of the Academy award winning director Michaël Dudok de Wit, this film features the tale of a stranded man on a deserted island. The protagonist then encounters a giant turtle who may serve as a probable milestone.
However, no specific trailer or plot conveying images of the film were revealed. But, recently some creative images of the film have been available online which convey few hints to the plot. It is quite clear that the man is not the only human on the island as a woman and a kid is also seen.
It may be a love story or a battle for survival as one of the images convey a deep love bonding between all the three human characters while, the other images show the efforts for survival of the protagonist as he makes a raft and tries to escape.
Look and feel of the images undoubtedly claim Studio Ghibli’s style of animation seen in its previous films When Marine Was There and Spirited Away. The use of bright colours, vast landscapes and simple structure of the human characters add realism to the plot. There is lot of greenery and blue ocean in almost all the images which create the depth of an island visually in any viewer.
The underwater image seems to be the most enchanting one as it has an amalgamation of nature, mankind and the sea animal. The trailer is definitely much awaited after these captivating images.
