Max is the go-to streaming service for Studio Ghibli movies in North America, while fans in other regions can enjoy them on Netflix. The only exception to this rule is the poignant 1988 film "Grave of the Fireflies," which you can find on Netflix after years of being elusive online. Our list encompasses 24 Studio Ghibli movies, including all theatrical releases, two TV movies, and two films crafted by the Ghibli team before the studio's official inception.
