Netflix has announced that renowned animators Studio Ghibli will be releasing 21 of their films on Netflix globally (excluding USA, Canada and Japan) starting from February 1st. Seven films will be added each month in February, March and April which is almost their entire catalogue. This is the first time the films have been available digitally as they have only previously been released on physical media – you can see the release schedule below.

I see this as a huge snub to Disney+ from Ghibli, within weeks of the new service launching…
