Where to Watch Studio Ghibli Movies Online

Max Streaming Service

Plans start at $9.99. See it at Max.

Max is the streaming home for Studio Ghibli movies in North America; they're available on Netflix in other territories. The one exception to the "Max" rule is 1988's Grave of the Fireflies, which, after years of being virtually inaccessible online, has found a home at Netflix. This guide covers 24 Studio Ghibli movies — including all theatrical releases, two TV movies, and two films technically produced by the Ghibli creative team prior to the studio's official establishment.

Below, you'll find streaming links for each movie, along with alternative viewing options for those without a Max subscription. Films directed by Hayao Miyazaki are marked with an asterisk (*).

Future Studio Ghibli Films

Although The Boy and the Heron was rumored to be Hayao Miyazaki's final film, as of October 2023, Miyazaki was actively developing his next project for Studio Ghibli. Producer Toshio Suzuki shared, "He's thinking about this next project every day, and I can't stop him — in fact, I've given up. I no longer try to dissuade him, even if he were to make a failed film. In life, it's only the work that delights him." No further details about the upcoming project have been disclosed yet.
