The debut of Studio Ghibli films on Netflix marks the first time they have been available to stream in Canada, part of a deal made with New York-based distribution partner, GKIDS.

Back in February, Studio Ghibli films were made available on Netflix internationally, but Canada wasn’t part of the launch.

Earlier this week, Netflix Canada teased, “films from the legendary animation house Studio Ghibli are coming to Netflix in Canada. We’re proud to bring beloved, influential stories like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro to first-time viewers and high-flying fans alike.”
