Hayao Miyazaki‘s Oscar winning animated movie, The Boy and the Heron, will stream exclusively worldwide on Netflix. A premiere date will be announced.
It’s part of a new deal between Netflix, Goodfellas and GKIDS, the latter extending their global catalog of streaming rights (ex-US and Japan) for pics from Oscar-winning Japanese studio Studio Ghibli.
As part of the new pact, an additional 22 films – including Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Arrietty, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, among others – will continue to stream on Netflix around the world.
Those in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America will be able to stream these titles in 28 languages and dubbed in up to 20 languages.
The Boy and the Heron is Miyazaki’s first feature film in 10 years. It won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and grossed over $167M worldwide.
