PALO ALTO, U.S./TOKYO -- Famed Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli has chosen WarnerMedia's HBO Max service for its first foray into streaming video in the U.S., as American media companies try anime to stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
The service, to start in May 2020, will feature 21 Ghibli films, including director Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" and the Academy Award-winning "Spirited Away."
