Studio Ghibli Alum Film Mary & The Witch’s Flower Gets U.S. Trailer

Studio Ghibli alumni Hiromasa Yonebayashi, who was responsible for such films as The Secret World of Arrietty and When Marnie Was There has spun off and created a brand new film from the new Studio Ponoc.

Up until now, we’ve seen a couple of Japanese trailers for the film, but with special Fathom screenings fast approaching this coming January, a new English-dubbed trailer has hit. Check it out above!

Mary is a plain, young girl, stuck in a rural British village with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. But a chance encounter with a pair of mysterious cats leads Mary into the nearby forest, where she finds an old broom stuck in the overgrowth of a nearby tree, and the strange blue glow of the fly-by-night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years. As the broom comes to life and lifts Mary high into the skies, she discovers a mysterious school for witches above the clouds. But the charming headmistress Madam Mumblechook and bumbling Doctor Dee are not all that they appear, in a twisting tale that reveals even the most ordinary-seeming children are capable of the most extraordinary adventures.

Based on the 1971 children’s novel The Little Broomstick, Mary and The Witch’s Flower is an all-ages action adventure that harkens back to some of the most beloved animated films of all time, full of ingenious characters, jaw-dropping, imaginative worlds and the simple, heartfelt story of a young girl trying to figure her place in the world.

Mary and the Witch’s Flower hits select U.S. theaters on January 19, 2017.
