Look, everything is awful and the world is on fire. I know. And lord knows 2019 can use all the help it can get. Thankfully, GKIDS has our backs.

Because is there anything that brings more joy to the world than a Studio Ghibli film? I think not.

From April through December, the Studio Ghibli Fest 2019 (presented with Fathom Events) will present nine of the studio’s best and most beloved films on the big screen – where they absolutely deserve to be seen.

Even if you’ve seen these films multiple times, if you haven’t seen them on the big screen, you haven’t seen them.

Each film only has a few screenings over a 2-3 day period, so be sure to mark your calendars and buy your tickets now. Here’s the schedule:

• Howl’s Moving Castle: April 7, 8, 10
• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: May 20, 21
• Whisper of the Heart: July 1, 2
• Kiki’s Delivery Service: July 28, 29, 31
• My Neighbor Totoro: August 25, 26, 28
• The Secret World of Arrietty: September 29, 30
• Spirited Away: October 27, 28, 30
• Princess Mononoke: November 17, 18, 20
• The Tale of the Princess Kaguya: December 16, 18

Frankly, I can’t think of anything better to beat the summer heat than Kiki and Totoro. Or a better way to celebrate Halloween than a viewing of Spirited Away. And Princess Mononoke for Thanksgiving? Yes, please.

Depending on the screening, the films will be presented in either the original Japanese (with English subtitles) or their English dubs. So be sure you check the language before buying your tickets if you have a preference.
