Earwig and the Witch [Blu-ray + DVD]

Growing up in an orphanage in the British countryside, Earwig has no idea that her mother had magical powers. Her life changes dramatically when a strange couple takes her in, and she is forced to live with a selfish witch. As the headstrong young girl sets out to uncover the secrets of her new guardians, she discovers a world of spells and potions, and a mysterious song that may be the key to finding the family she has always wanted.

The latest film from the legendary Studio Ghibli ( Spirited Away , My Neighbor Totoro , Princess Mononoke and more) is directed by Goro Miyazaki ( From Up on Poppy Hill , Tales from Earthsea ) and produced by studio co-founder Toshio Suzuki, with planning on the feature from Academy Award®-winner Hayao Miyazaki. Featuring the voices of Richard E. Grant, Kacey Musgraves and Dan Stevens , Earwig and the Witch additionally features an English language theme song performance by six-time Grammy Award-winner Kacey Musgraves. Based on the children’s novel by Diana Wynne Jones ( Howl’s Moving Castle ), the film marks Studio Ghibli’s first 3DCG animated feature.
