From the late Isao Takahata, known for his work with Studio Ghibli, comes the timeless tale of Anne of Green Gables.

Raised in an orphanage, Anne Shirley is unconventional, spirited and fanciful. When she is accidentally sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert at Green Gables, she finds herself in a strange new environment. Here, she'll learn about herself, while brightening the lives of those around her.

Isao Takahata was a Japanese director, screenwriter and producer. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, he earned international critical acclaim for his work as a director of Japanese animated feature films.

Growing up in an orphanage in the British countryside, Earwig has no idea that hermother had magical powers. Her life changes dramatically when a strange coupletakes her in, and she is forced to live with a selfish witch. 

The latest film from Studio Ghibli is directed by Goro Miyazaki and produced by studio co-founder Toshio Suzuki, with planning on the feature from his father, Academy Award winner Hayao Miyazaki. Based on the children’s novel “Earwig and the Witch” by Diana WynneJones, the film marks Studio Ghibli’s first entirely 3DCG animated feature. The film was an official selection for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.
