Director Mamoru Hosoda is famous worldwide for animated films such as "Summer Wars", "The Boy and the Beast" and "Wolf Children", all of which delicately fuses everyday drama with fantasy to create a moving story. The story of this film is told through the eyes of its 4-year-old boy protagonist. "Mirai of the Future" has been gaining attention as an animated film of unprecedented challenge. On the program, we'll be exploring its appeal by going behind the scenes of production and by interviewing Director Mamoru Hosoda and Moka Kamishiraishi who is casting for the protagonist.
