Barbican Hosts Studio Ghibli Season Fri, 17 Jun 2011

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.

SpiritedAway
