The Boy and the Beast
The Boy and the Beast streams on Netflix and Crunchyroll. A big-hearted Mamoru Hosoda adventure about a runaway boy taken as apprentice by a gruff beast-warrior in a hidden world of animals, it's a rousing, funny story about the families we choose.
About
A lonely, angry boy who's lost his mother slips out of the human city and stumbles into a parallel world of beasts, where a brash, lazy warrior reluctantly takes him on as a student. Neither is any good at the mentor-and-pupil thing, but their bickering, head-butting bond slowly makes them both stronger — until the boy, now a teenager, is pulled back toward the human world and forced to decide where he truly belongs. It's a coming-of-age story with a huge, generous heart.
