On August 20th, 2024, the next Studio Ghibli film to stream on Netflix is “Grave of the Fireflies,” one of the most poignantly sad Studio Ghibli movies. Unlike previous Studio Ghibli Netflix releases, this movie will be accessible in the United States. This appears to be due to Sentai Filmworks holding the licensing rights for “Grave of the Fireflies.” Despite being produced by Studio Ghibli, this allowed Sentai Filmworks to negotiate a separate deal from the existing Max and Studio Ghibli agreement for the U.S. market. “Grave of the Fireflies” will debut on Netflix on September 16th, so brace yourself for an emotional experience.

It’s common knowledge that Disney has been transforming its beloved animated classics into live-action films. Some of these adaptations, such as Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King, were massive successes. However, other attempts in this genre have been less than impressive and are generally avoided in conversation, even by Disney themselves. Despite the differing opinions from fans, the company persists in creating live-action remakes of stories we’ve already encountered.

Illustration is one of the closest things to magic that we have in our world. The process of a drawing coming to life is one of the purest forms of creation we can witness. And when that combines with the wonder of Disney and its heroines, it’s awe-inspiring indeed. And so, it is our great honor to reveal some exclusive pieces of process art from the new Ravensburger game Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition). These six pieces of art tell a wonderful story as they move from idea to final form, chronicling the journey of how the box art for Chronicles of Light came to fruition. Showcased here are the game’s crystal forms of Disney and Pixar’s Maid Marian, Belle, Moana, and Violet. We honestly can’t stop looking at them, and incredibly, their story is even more powerful than just how lovely these drawings are.
