Mamoru Hosoda’s Belle has confirmed its first release date alongside the voice cast for the new feature film! Studio Chizu is currently celebrating their tenth anniversary in a huge way as Mamoru Hosoda, the famed filmmaker behind Summer Wars, Wolf Children, Mirai and more, has crafted a new project together with other major names in the animation world such as Academy Award nominated studio Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea) and legendary Disney animator Jin Kim (who designed the main protagonist of the film, the titular Belle). Now the new feature is even closer to its full release.
