Though it just won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron is not easy to find right now, only playing in select movie theaters and not available digitally. That is going to change in the near future, with The Boy and the Heron's streaming debut set to land on Max.
Max announced on March 12 that it would premiere The Boy and the Heron on Max at an as yet unspecified date in 2024. This is part of a larger deal for the streamer and GKIDS, the US film distributor for Japan's Studio Ghibli animation house, that will continue to see Max be the streaming home for other classic Studio Ghibli movies, as it has been since 2020.
