“This is a dream come true for Netflix and millions of our members,” Aram Yacoubian, Director of Original Animation at Netflix, said in a statement. “Studio Ghibli’s animated films are legendary and have enthralled fans around the world for over 35 years. We’re excited to make them available in more languages across Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia – so that more people can enjoy this whimsical and wonderful world of animation.”
Live in the US or Canada and curious as to when you’ll be able to watch the films of Hayao Miyazaki and his collaborators?
Last October, WarnerMedia announced a deal to bring the animated classics to the new HBO Max platform. The new streaming service is expected to launch in May.
Life does find a way after all.
