Studio Ghibli films feature unique, insightful stories suitable for all ages. Such is the case with Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, which has received various praises for its impressive visual beauty. Critics praised the quality of the animation, beautiful scenery and memorable character designs for giving the film its magic.
With that in mind, there’s good news for Studio Ghibli fans: The Boy and the Heron will be part of the Netflix catalogue. It is scheduled to be released at the end of the year, which is very exciting as this film is worth watching.

At the moment there is no specific release date, but the release on this platform will increase the number of studio games and will be next to such wonderful masterpieces as “My Neighbor Totoro” or “Spirited Away.”
Netflix has expanded its streaming rights to Ghibli titles, allowing them to air in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The bad news is that they are not available on US or Japanese platforms.
