Film4 To Screen Studio Ghibli Season from Saturday (Updated)

posted on by Andrew Osmond

Update - According to a tweet from Film4, all the Ghibli screenings, including Ponyo on this Saturday, will be subtitled, with the exception of the repeat of Ponyo on Christmas Day.

The channel Film4 has announced a season of fifteen Studio Ghibli and Ghibli-related films, to be shown from December 10 to 25. The season starts and ends with Hayao Miyazaki's 2008 film Ponyo. It also includes screenings of Tomomi Mochizuki's Ghibli TV film Ocean Waves and the pre-Ghibli film director debuts of Takahata and Miyazaki in 1968's Little Norse Prince Valiant (Takahata) and 1979's Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (Miyazaki).

Four Ghibli features made before Ponyo are not included in the season: Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbors the Yamadas, both directed by Takahata, and Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
