GKids to Re-Release Even More Studio Ghibli Movies in IMAX in 2026

More of your favorite Studio Ghibli movies are coming to IMAX screens next year! Deadline has announced the exciting news that animation distributor GKids is partnering with both IMAX and Studio Ghibli to re-release a few pristine, brand new 4K restorations of Studio Ghibli classics in IMAX theaters starting in 2026. They've already been re-releasing the Ghibli movies for years under the "Ghibli Fest" banner which makes me happy because all 20+ of their movies deserve to be appreciated year-after-year. Earlier in 2025 they already released Hayao Miyazaki's classic Princess Mononoke on IMAX screens (watch the trailer) the first experiment in this 4K restoration + IMAX re-release opportunity (along with The Boy and the Heron in 2023). Now time for all of the others to be seen BIG. "GKids is thrilled to extend our relationship with IMAX for more Studio Ghibli releases," states Eric Beckman, CEO of GKids. "As a company, GKids is a champion of the shared theatrical experience – and what better way for fans to experience the unparalleled visual beauty, immersive worlds, and deeply humanistic storytelling of Studio Ghibli than in IMAX." Totally agree. // Continue Reading ›
