Porco Rosso remains not only one of the best animated films of all time but the best films of all time. Say what you want about English dubs but Michael Keaton is insanely good as Porco.

Guess I will finally have to watch TALES FROM THE EARTHSEA.
People, watch them all, except maybe Ocean Waves and My neighbors the Yamadas.

Sounds like I need to rewatch it but Porco Rosso is one of the lows from the Ghibli library from what I remember, although not as bad as Earthsea. That said I'm looking forward to having Spirited Away, Kiki, Totoro, Nausicaä and Princess Mononoke at my fingertips, the others I'm sure I'll watch but those five will be watched numerous times whenever I get the urge.

Ocean Waves should be fine with the romantic elements doing enough to keep people's attention but I agree My Neighbours the Yamadas is for sure very centred on Japanese comedy and may be hard for some people to make it through.

Porco Rosso is great. Its extremely indulgent in a way Miyazaki's other movies aren't. Except maybe the wind rises though thats a bit more self critical compered to Porco Rosso which is pure escapist fantasy.

Welp, I was thinking of cancelling my subscription after Bojack but I probably won't now. Can't wait to see the ones I've missed.

Excellent additions, was planning to check out many of them that I have not seen plus rewatching some I already watched. Netflix keeps on delivering.

Lol.......no. I'm not paying extra for a basic requirement.

Even more happy that these films are on Netflix now.

Thanks for info.

People's entitlement is crazy. The existing NowTV is ludicrously underpriced, and that you can have the option of lower quality streams for less money is... bad? Even when Netflix literally does exactly the same thing?

YES! While I have my favourites on bluray already I really want to have a marathon of all the films and especially quite a few I've yet to see. Amazing. Netflix is by far the best streaming service in terms of quality for me, it's affordable, and wow, the perfect place to have these films.

Yooooo, this is amazing. Great timing too as I was thinking of cancelling my Netflix, and I was going to buy a ticket to an all-night Ghibli marathon at a local cinema.

They are going to re-dub them it seems. So the iconic dubs in each language might get lost. I just hope that it means that they will only dub in those languages that didn't have one yet.

Europe wins for once. So what are the best ones in that first batch? My Neighbor Totoro & Castle in the Sky are the most well known there, any more? Or should I just watch them all

Great news, that's a fantastic acquisition for the service. I have four Ghiblis in my Blu-ray collection but excited to see the rest in HD, particularly the ones I've not seen before such as Porco Rosso, Nausicaa. I was underwhelmed by Princess Mononoke on first watch so I'm looking forward to giving that a second chance.

That March rollout though, with Nausicaa, Mononoke, Spirited Away and Kaguya on the same day.... stunning

Fuck Studio Ghibli for allowing the rights to be fragmented like this internationally. Fuck 'em.

It's gonna be so good

although I find it super weird Disney didn't do this since they ownphysical publishing rights. Would of thought they'd want more material on Disney+
