Studio Ghibli films are some of the industry’s best animation … And they are notoriously difficult to stream. But as of next month, thanks to Netflix, that’s about to get a lot easier.

Netflix has acquired the rights to 21 feature films for all territories outside the USA, Canada and Japan from the iconic Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli. The company is adding the movies in blocks, 7 films each to its library at the start of February, March and April.

From February 2020, 21 films from the legendary animation house Studio Ghibli are coming exclusively to Netflix.
