With excellent timing, Max has announced that it'll be streaming the Oscar-winning The Boy and The Heron from Studio Ghibli in the US. That's because Max has just extended its multi-year streaming deal with the beloved Japanese studio, a deal that's been in place since 2020 when the service was still called HBO Max.
That means not only will the Oscar-winning movie be available to watch on one of the best streaming service's this year, but Max will continue to host its extensive catalog of Ghibli movies – a catalog that also includes the beautiful Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbor Totoro. As Max's VP of content acquisitions Elizabeth Bannan Atcheson said in a statement: "Our subscribers are always looking for unique stories, and we are happy to continue to offer these award-winning, critically acclaimed films and to add The Boy and the Heron to our deep and rich Max content offering."
