I knew GKIDS would eventually change their mind about withholding Ghibi's catalog from streaming! Laughing


That's literally not how any of this works

That's only partially true. Disney got their hands on the Ghibli library long before Lasseter got involved. Back in the 1990's. Back then, Lasseter wasn't that involved. The only reason they got scared from doing more with it was after Mononoke failed.

But no, their license expired long before the scandal with Lasseter. It was 2018 when Lasseter got me-tooed. The year before that was when GKIDS got the license, IIRC.
GKids had already been licensing Ghibli films even before then. Disney passed on releasing The Tale of Princess Kaguya and GKids licensed it instead way back in 2014. I believe The Wind Rises was the last Ghibli film Disney released.
