After an incredible response to the Ghibli 2017 series and the over whelming popularity of Mary and The Witch's Flower event earlier this year, Fathom Events enthusiastically teamed up with GKIDS again to bring some of the world's best animation to U.S. theatergoers who might not otherwise get the opportunity to enjoy these amazing works of wonder. Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said, "This series provides a special opportunity for fans to experience these beloved titles together on the big screen."
With such amazing artistry, these films can't help but generate wonder, and excitement in the audiences that see them. Although we now live in a world where you can stream just about anything anywhere at any time, I encourage to see these films on the big screen where you and your family can experience the larger than life animation the way in which it was intended. Without a doubt, Studio Ghibli is best experienced in movie theaters, and thanks to Fathom Events you can do just that. Take advantage of this opportunity and treat yourself to an event you'll never forget.
