Fathom Entertainment and GKIDS have announced that tickets for the annual Studio Ghibli Fest 2026 are now live. The events allows fans in both the United States and Canada to watch beloved movies from the studio in theaters.
The movies that will be shown are Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Tales from Earthsea, Only Yesterday, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away. Each month will highlight a new film, giving fans plenty of chances to watch the aforementioned films in either dubbed or subbed formats. Tickets can be purchased via Fathom Entertainment‘s website.
Last year, GKIDS and IMAX announced that it will be partnering to release 4K restorations films by Studio Ghibli in IMAX in 2026. The films will release in North America after the success of both The Boy and the Heron and Princess Mononoke in IMAX.
The new versions of the films will be overseen by Studio Ghibli’s Atsushi Okui, who has been with the company since 1993. Recently, he was the Director of Digital Imaging on The Boy and the Heron, the first film from Ghibli to launch in IMAX. In a statement, Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX, said the following:
“Studio Ghibli has long been synonymous with exceptional storytelling and a devoted global fanbase, and we’re ready to build on our strong foundation with the studio as we partner with GKIDS to bring some of its most celebrated titles to IMAX. As animation continues to thrive as a box office and cultural force, IMAX is poised to meet that demand at scale as the industry’s only truly global platform for cinema.”
