Japanese anime legend Hayao Miyazaki’s much anticipated final film, newly renamed in English The Boy and the Heron, has been picked up by animation specialty distributor Gkids for North American release later this year. The deal continues Studio Ghibli’s longtime partnership with Gkids for the distribution of its titles in the U.S.

Released in Japan Friday as Kimitachi wa Do Ikiruka (translated as How Do You Live?), the film is an original story written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, produced by the Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki, and features a musical score from Miyazaki’s long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi.
