21 Studio Ghibli animations will arrive on Netflix Hong Kong!

By Catharina Cheung 20 January 2020

Starting from 1 February, 21 beautiful films from Studio Ghibli will be available to stream on Netflix Hong Kong!

Fans of Hayao Miyazaki and the works of this award-winning Japanese art house should be weeping with joy right now, as these films have always been notoriously exclusive and difficult to find. We’re still reeling slightly from the realisation that we can soon easily meet various strange and marvellous creatures with Chihiro, go into battle alongside San, or witness Howl having a mental breakdown, any time we want.

For the first time ever, this expansive catalogue of Ghibli films will also be subtitled in 28 languages and dubbed in up to 20 languages. This partnership will make these beloved cult films much more easily accessible to viewers in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
