Fans of Studio Ghibli who missed the opportunity to watch Spirited Away in theaters last year will have another chance between April 27th and May 1st at “U.S. cinemas nationwide.” This is part of Studio Ghibli Fest 2024, where a total of 14 Ghibli films will be back in theaters throughout the year. The films will be shown in both English dubbed and subtitled versions with the original Japanese voice work included. This year’s lineup includes classics like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, and Howl’s Moving Castle. Additionally, movies from other Ghibli directors will also be featured, such as Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s The Secret World of Arrietty and Hiroyuki Morita’s The Cat Returns.
According to an announcement from film distributor Fathom Events, the showings will also include “surprise special extra content.” This adds a unique element to the viewing experience, making it a must-see event for fans of Studio Ghibli’s work. The inclusion of special content enhances the overall cinematic experience and provides audiences with a fresh perspective on these beloved films.
