Film4 Screening Studio Ghibli Season This Easter (Updated)
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The schedule for this season has been revised, with several time and date changes; see this story for the revised schedule.
The channel Film4 has announced a season of nineteen Studio Ghibli and Ghibli-related films, to be shown from March 26 to April 13. It includes every Studio Ghibli film from Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind to Arrietty (with one exception, Isao Takahata's My Neighbors the Yamadas), plus the pre-Ghibli films The Little Norse Prince and Castle of Cagliostro. Some films are shown twice: Spirited Away, The Cat Returns, Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle.
Asked whether the films would be dubbed or subtitled, Film4 tweeted, "It depends on the film and the timeslot. We'll post a full rundown nearer the time."
