Studio Ghibli has captivated audiences for 40 years with its singular style of Japanese animation and empathetic storytelling. The studio, led by visionary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, has compiled a filmography of nearly two dozen films ranging from surreal and supernatural to heartfelt and introspective.
For those looking to watch or rewatch the films, we’ve compiled this guide for where you can watch every Studio Ghibli movie online right now.
Where to Watch Studio Ghibli Movies Online
Max is the streaming home for Studio Ghibli movies in North America; they’re available on Netflix in other territories. This list compiles 23 Studioi Ghibli movies — all of its theatrical releases, two TV movies, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (made by the Ghibli creative team but released a year before the studio’s founding). 1988’s Grave of the Fireflies is notably not available online, as Studio Ghibli doesn’t hold the streaming rights.
Below we’ve provided streaming links to each movie as well as alternative options for those without a Max subscription. Movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki are marked by an asterisk (*).

Future Studio Ghibli Movies
As of October 2023, Hayao Miyazaki was working on his next movie for Studio Ghibli. “He’s thinking about this next project every day, and I can’t stop him — in fact, I’ve given up,” said producer Toshio Suzuki. “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 project have been announced.
2023’s The Boy and the Heron was rumored to be the Miyazaki’s final film, though Suzuki’s comments make clear that isn’t the case.
