Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki's film 'The Boy and the Heron' won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, marking the first Golden Globe win for a non-English animated feature.
The film, which is said to be Miyazaki's final feature, also made history as the first original anime film to top the North American box office after its release in December.
'The Boy and the Heron' has been a commercial success, grossing more than $136 million worldwide, and is now considered a front-runner for an Academy Award nomination.
The film's win comes at a time of national tragedy in Japan, with recent earthquakes and a plane collision causing widespread devastation.
