If you’ve been anywhere near a social networking site over the past 24 hours, you may already know this news. But you know what? It’s worth knowing more than once.
In a boost for the accessibility of its incredible catalogue of films, 21 movies from the Studio Ghibli catalogue are heading to Netflix UK.
