Last year Disney dropped (or lost – It’s a little unclear) the distribution rights for Studio Ghibli and, as such, there were hopes that their animated feature films would finally turn up on one of the major subscription-based streaming platforms.
Well, in a report via SlashFilms, it is official! Studio Ghibli is set to arrive on Netflix this February! There are, however, a few little caveats to that!
It is understood that the Studio Ghibli releases will be made in ‘waves’ throughout the coming months with the first films launching on February 1st including:
The remaining films from their library are expected to be launched on March and April 1st respectively bringing all of their 21 ‘mainstream’ releases onto the Netflix platform. Well, for most of us anyway!

Hey, let’s go… Hey, let’s go… I’m happy as can be!!!
