Hana was a student before she was a mother. She was bright and pretty, and her future held endless possibilities. Then she met a man, who turned out to be a wolf, and together they built a family.Hana loved her mate fiercely, but fate took him from her, leaving her alone with two unusual kids she didn’t know how to raise. Frightened of being discovered, Hana and her wolf children fled to the countryside to build a new life. Raising her little wild things was an adventure. It left Hana bruised, scratched, exhausted, and joyously overwhelmed as her pups grew stronger and wandered further every day. This is a mother’s journey. Teach your children to chase their dreams – and smile through the tears as they disappear into the world in search of who they will become. Hana wasn’t always a mother, but it was always what she was meant to be. The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki is a beautiful film that anybody with even the slightest interest in movies or animation owes it to themselves to watch... 10 Legendary. As close to perfect as a production can get. 10's are, to be frank, among the best and most influential films or shows ever made. --Japanator Cemented the director's growing reputation as the preeminent director of theatrical animation in Japan today, the obvious spiritual heir to Hayao Miyazaki. --Otaku USA Magazine There's no doubt that Hosoda will be a household name for any fan of similar creators namely Satoshi Kon, Shinichiro Watanabe, and Hayao Miyazaki... His bastions of storytelling are the truth of human emotion and the ever-prevalent necessity to unconditionally love family for what it is: forever part of who we are. --Amazing Stories Magazine Review: Heartwarming, Fun and Beautiful - I was a little doubtful when I decided to watch this movie with my mom on Mother's Day, because I'd heard about the ending being sad, but we both enjoyed the film very much. It has many meaningful and relatable messages; a mother's love is powerful, choice is paramount for children, and that most, if not all parents, experience similar emotions when their children come of age. The mother, Hana, is a single mother who takes care of her two children, who have the ability to change into wolves. I won't talk about the specifics of what happened to her husband, but something obviously does, and it is explained in the film. She is incredibly kind, tolerant, and cares deeply for her children. Taking care of them on her own is difficult, especially when they start off in a new home on the countryside and she must make repairs to the decrepit home she purchased and later, learn to raise crops. But some of the times they share together are heartwarming, funny, and beautiful to see. The artwork for this film is simply staggering, and I look forward to more quality works like this from the director, Mamoru Hosuda. About halfway through, the movie begins to deal more with the children, Ame and Yuki, and about how they are growing up and finding their own paths in life - something that Hana wanted to give them when she decided to move them out of the big city and to the countryside. All I will say is that the siblings' paths diverge; they both make different choices. One is not better than the other, and neither are bad choices. In this half of the movie, you also start getting some feeling for what parents experience when their children grow up. I'm no parent, but I could feel it because I was right beside my mom when we watched the film - and she was crying. ***Minor SPOILER alert here, so skip to the next paragraph if you deem it necessary.*** Many parents raise their children with great love and care, but when it's finally time for them to "spread their wings and fly," it can be an emotional time. It's hard to let go sometimes, or rather, to accept the reality. I think parents fully understand that, but it's still hard. Hana has to deal with the same thing, and seemingly very early on to Western parents. The ending is bittersweet, I'd say. It's happy, but sad at the same time. I guess it depends on how you look at it, and especially depends on what position you have in the family (father, mother, child, etc) - that is all I'm going to say. All in all, it's a great family movie. I watched it twice with my mom already, once with just her, and then again with my dad and brother. Even if you aren't into anime or you have family members that aren't into anime, you can still pick up this film and enjoy it without any problems. I highly recommend it! ***Note: I've noticed these criticisms in some of the lower-rated reviews I've read for this film. I'm not here to argue or to say anyone is wrong, I would just like to give some insight to readers who may have concerns. What I'm talking about is what some have called "implied bestiality." ***SPOILER, READ ON ONLY IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED*** Shortly after the husband reveals his wolf side to Hana, they return home to consummate their love. They are both in a dark room with only their silhouettes showing, but the husband stays in his half-wolf form. He touches her cheek, asks her if she is afraid of him, and then they both lay down off-screen. That's the extent of the scene. For adults and young teens, it's clear that they're about to have sex - but personally, at least, I didn't see it as that. It was more about Hana's ultimate acceptance of her mate, and reassurance to the husband about the woman he loves. I don't think the scene was depicted as sexual. If you have concerns about this because of the "implied bestiality," however, I've already described the full scene. That's all there is, so you can make your judgment from there. Review: A Wonderful Winner! - This movie is a wonderful surprise as it approaches a subject often the topic of horror and violence. From the high def graphics to the innocent humor of a truly unique plot, it tells the story of a woman who falls in love with a very gentle man, only to find out he is a werewolf. Forget what you know about the legends, this one deals with the reality, where even as a wolf, the human intellect remains. More over, it is the tale of a mother, Hana, earning to cope with her children's journey to become themselves. Having been a single parent, I can honestly tell you the authors got this part of the film correct. Being a single parent is hard. It is extremely difficult, however, when the children switch back and forth from kid to puppy. When they get sick, do you take them to the doctor? Or is a veterinarian the correct choice? Laugh if you want to, but for Hana, it's a real problem. The same goes for trying to explain to the landlord why there were barking/baying sounds coming from an apartment when pets are NOT allowed! And just what vaccinations to you give the kids? The list goes on . . . Only after moving to an isolated rural community does Hana finally learn the value of having friends she can trust. The graphics are excellent. One sequence in particular is stunning: the first country snowfall. The morning where Hana runs and plays with the children (in wolf form) through the woods and down a steep hillside feels very three dimensional even though it isn't. The kingfisher/river part of this sequence is especially as well done as it is poignant. All and all, this film earned every one of the awards it has been given. Regardless of fantasy element, this is one of the more heart-warmingly HUMAN stories I've seen in a while. It rightfully deserves to become a classic! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alison Viktorin, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Jad Saxton, Lara Woodhull, Mamoru Hosoda, Micah Solusod, Mike McFarland Contributor Alison Viktorin, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Jad Saxton, Lara Woodhull, Mamoru Hosoda, Micah Solusod, Mike McFarland See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,247 Reviews | | Format | Animated, Blu-ray, Color, NTSC, Widescreen | | Genre | Anime & Manga | | Language | English, Japanese | | Runtime | 1 hour and 57 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Anime & Manga - **Format:** Animated, Blu-ray, Color, NTSC, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Alison Viktorin, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Jad Saxton, Lara Woodhull, Mamoru Hosoda, Micah Solusod, Mike McFarland - **Language:** English, Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 57 minutes ## Images ![Wolf Children [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lzwAacK4L.jpg) ![Wolf Children [Blu-ray] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hselsEloL.jpg) ![Wolf Children [Blu-ray] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717Yv84xQrL.jpg) ![Wolf Children [Blu-ray] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SsJ7W0eIL.jpg) ![Wolf Children [Blu-ray] - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615kbgizgyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartwarming, Fun and Beautiful *by B***N on May 31, 2014* I was a little doubtful when I decided to watch this movie with my mom on Mother's Day, because I'd heard about the ending being sad, but we both enjoyed the film very much.

It rightfully deserves to become a classic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic movie about the true value of family *by T***. on March 20, 2014* **Small Spoiler Alert** I went into this movie blind as I had not watched another movie from this director. But, I'm a big Hiyazaki fan so I figured I'd give it a try. I was nothing short of blown away, I can't think of another movie in recent memory that I have enjoyed as much as Wolf children. The movie starts with college age Hana meeting a man and falling in love. The man, however, turns out to be a wolf. Hana decides that love can overcome any challenges that might arise from his condition and the two eventually bring two beautiful children into the world together. Unfortunately, a cruel twist of fate takes Hana's mate from her all too soon and leaves her alone to raise their two children. This section is quick and not entirely the focus of the movie, but is very important nonetheless. Seeing how deeply Hana cared for her husband and the loss that she suffers is critical to understanding her motivation as a character and more importantly, as a mother. Just keep smiling. Hana is left living in a small apartment with two quickly growing wolf children and no source of income. Being the mother of children who can't control whether or not they remain in their human form, or turn into a wolf-pup and trash the apartment is no easy task, especially once prying eyes begin to suspect something is amiss. Hana decides that it would be best for her small family to move far out into the countryside where they can have more privacy and give her time to learn the best ways to raise her young pups. Watching the children slowly grow into who they choose to be, and seeing Hana overcome so many struggles is where this movie shines. There are no stereotypical archetypes that are so common in these types of movies. everything feels genuine and heartfelt. You will fall in love with Hana, Yuki and Ame. The animation throughout is stellar and absolutely beautiful. The picture quality on this Blu-Ray release is fantastic, and the English dub is very good, one of the best in my recent memory. I would wholeheartedly recommend this movie to anyone who is even slightly interested. Note: Check out 'Summer Wars' as well!
