Barbican Hosts Studio Ghibli Season
With the Barbican’s first screening of Arrietty selling out rapidly, it is safe to say that Studio Ghibli is still very popular amongst anime fans and Anime UK News has even more good news to report as the Barbican is to screen a whole host of Studio Ghibli’s catalogue including My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away as well as another screening of Arrietty.
The Barbican states:
10 years after the Barbican brought Ghibli to London for the first time, we celebrate the groundbreaking work of the iconic Japanese animation studio with a programme of rarely screened gems.
