“The Boy and the Heron” by Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki
“The Boy and the Heron” WILL win.
To me, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is the best movie on this list, especially because of how innovative it is when it comes to animation and special effects. However, “The Boy and the Heron” was much adored in the critics’ eyes, and for that reason, I believe it is the front runner.
