'Cocoon' and 'Grave of the Fireflies' make a harrowing WWII anime double bill

GKIDS is releasing the anime film "Cocoon — One Summer of Girlhood," set during World War II and presented as a natural double feature alongside Studio Ghibli's classic "Grave of the Fireflies." Both films depict the horrors of war through the eyes of bewildered children struggling to make sense of their shattered world. Viewers are warned that watching both back-to-back will be an emotionally intense experience.
