<p>Set in Japan during the war, the fantasy film tells the story of a boy named Mahito, whose mother died in a fire, and his encounter with a blue heron in a village where his mother Hisako&#8217;s family lives after evacuating from Tokyo, and his mysterious experience. Hamill voiced the great-uncle of Hisako and Hisako&#8217;s sister Natsuko in the English version.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="He also won the award for &quot;Spirited Away&quot; and is seeking his second crown."></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">In addition to Hamill, the English version is voiced by &#8220;Batman&#8221; star Robert Pattinson (Blue Heron/Heron Man), Florence Pugh (Chirico) from &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; and &#8220;Platoon&#8221; and &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; star Willem Defoe (The Old Pelican). In addition, Christian Bale (Katsuichi) and Div Bautista (The Great Parrot) and many other top Hollywood stars appear in the film.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The film was released in the U.S. on December 8, 2011, and grossed approximately 1.86 billion yen at the box office. It was also a big hit in the U.S., ranking first in the U.S. box office over the weekend. This is due in large part to the power of the splendid &#8220;voice actors. &#8230;&#8230;&#8221; (source from the movie industry)</span></p>

<p>In addition to &#8220;How Do You Live?&#8221;, &#8220;My Element&#8221;, &#8220;Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse&#8221;, &#8220;Nimona&#8221; and &#8220;Robot Dreams&#8221; were nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film category at the Academy Awards.</p>
<p>How Do You Live?&#8221; won the Best Animated Feature Award at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, the prelude to the Academy Awards, as well as the New York Film Critics Circle Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Award, and is considered a frontrunner for the Academy Award. Hamill&#8217;s &#8220;blessing&#8221; may provide an additional boost. If the film wins, it will be the second time since &#8220;Spirited Away&#8221; won the same award at the 75th Academy Awards (2003).</p>
