Watch Studio Ghibli on Max
Max is only missing two of Studio Ghibli's feature films. This includes The Red Turtle and Grave of the Fireflies .
The Red Turtle was produced as part of a co-production with another studio, so it was not part of Max's streaming deal. However, The Red Turtle is available to rent or buy on Amazon and on Apple TV+ .
Grave of the Fireflies is known as one of Studio Ghibli's saddest films, but another company holds the licensing rights. But we have some good news: Netflix has acquired the film, so Grave of the Fireflies will begin streaming on the service on September 16.
