Netflix is huge these days, with over 158 million users around the world – many of whom we bet are diehard Studio Ghibli fans. The streaming giant will be bringing 21 animated titles by Studio Ghibli on board, which is giving us a serious reason to celebrate.
The movies will be rolled out from February 2020 onwards, including cult favourites like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Here’s what to look forward to.
