"IMAX and animation distributor GKids are bringing more 4K Studio Ghibli restorations to the largest screens in 2026. The announcement follows the IMAX release of Princess Mononoke this year, with the ongoing restorations being directly supervised by Studio Ghibli's Atsushi Okui, who's been with the company since 1993. Okui was the Director of Digital Imaging on 2023's The Boy and the Heron, which was also the first Ghibli picture to get the IMAX treatment."
"GKids heads up distribution in North America for the Japanese animation giant's films across all platforms, and has been working with IMAX on various projects since 2021. It sounds like the remaining Ghibli titles set for theatrical IMAX releases in the US will arrive one at a time, and GKids is not saying how many we can expect, or what it's following Princess Mononoke with next year."
