GKIDS has released the English trailer for Studio Ghibli’s newest animated and first-ever CG film
Earwig and the Witch, featuring an orphan girl as she tries to learn magic from her new magical but rude guardians. Also featuring a snippet of the film’s English-language theme song “Don’t Disturb Me,” sang by Kacey Musgraves, you can check out the video in the player below!
Earwig and the Witch (or
Aya and the Witch) will be based on the 2011 children’s novel of the same name which was written by the late British author Diana Wynne Jones, who has also written the source novel for Studio Ghibli’s popular fantasy film
Earwig and The Witch.
Based on the children s book of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones, the movie (first announced over the summer) was directed by Hayao Miyazaki s son, Goro Miyazaki, and brings to mind Laika s 2009 adaptation of
Coraline, but add in some jammin 60s-era rock.
Taylor Paige Henderson lends her voice to the titular Earwig, a rambunctious orphan who finds herself adopted by an evil witch known as Bella Yaga (Vanessa Marshall). Dan Stevens and Richard E. Grant co-star as the Yaga s talking cat, Thomas, and housemate (her husband perhaps?), The Mandrake. Kacey Musgraves ( Earwig s Mother ), Pandora Colin ( Matron ), Alex Cartañá ( Assistant Matron ), JB Blanc ( Mr. Jerkins ), Logan Hannan ( Custard ), Summer Jenkins ( Phyllis ), Vivienne Rutherford ( Sally ), Tom Bromhead ( Cook ), and Eva Kaminsky ( Assistant Cook ) round out the rest of the cast.
