Hayao Miyazaki is a master of capturing whimsicality in his films, which showcase magic, friendship, love, and family. 

The Japanese filmmaker has developed 21 features through Studio Ghibli, which won the heart of thousands, despite the films being in a foreign language. His movie Spirited Away even picked up the award for Best Animated Film at the 2002 Academy Awards. 

The much-adored films will now be able to reach a new audience, as they will be coming to Netflix.

The streaming service confirmed the deal saying, “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.”

From February 1^st, all 21 Studio Ghibli films will roll out over the following two months on Netflix services excluding the US, Canada, and Japan.

Hayao Miyazaki’s anime masterpiece Spirited Away is finally being released in China.

The film about a little girl who must save her parents after they were turned into pigs was first released in Japan in 2001.

Becoming the most successful film in Japanese history, the movie earned more than $331 million worldwide and even claimed the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

All films screened in China must have government approval. The years-long delay has meant that many of Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli movies have been watched by fans through pirated downloads and DVDs.

But that seems about to change as it has now been announced that Spirited Away will finally make its Chinese debut.

The June 21st premiere will follow on from another Miyazaki feature, My Neighbour Totoro, debuting in China last December, 30 years after its initial release.
