As the first Studio Ghibli movie in years, there’s a lot of anticipation behind Earwig and the Witch (particularly because it’s directed by Gorō Miyazaki, son of legendary Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki). Based on the novel of the same name by Dianna Wynne Jones, it tells the tale of a ten year-old orphan who’s whisked away to a brand-new life… with a witch. The English dub stars Richard E. Grant, Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Paige Henderson, Dan Stevens, and Kasey Musgraves.
