GKIDS and IndieWire began streaming an English-subtitled clip from the Studio Ghibli short film Ghiblies: Episode 2 last week. The short is screening in United States theaters along with the 15th anniversary screenings of Spirited Away.
GKIDS announced an additional screening time for the English dub of Spirited Away on December 8 at 7:00 p.m. local time. GKIDS and Fathom Events had previously announced plans to screen the film with the dub on December 4 and with subtitles on December 5.
Spirited Away debuted in Japan in 2001 and still holds the record for highest-grossing film in the Japanese box office. It is the only Japanese film to win the the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
"Ghiblies: Episode 2" first screened in Japan in 2002 alongside The Cat Returns. Yoshiyuki Momose directed the short and Masahiko Nishimura and Kaoru Kobayashi starred. The comical story is set in an anime studio.
