Two more animated classics from Studio Ghibli are receiving IMAX screenings this spring.
Whisper of the Heart and The Secret World of Arrietty from globally celebrated animation house Studio Ghibli will make their debuts, now remastered in 4K, exclusively in IMAX theatres in the US and Canada on April 21, 2026 and May 19, 2026 respectively.
Following last month’s announcement of Kiki’s Delivery Service IMAX screenings, GKIDS continues its collaboration with IMAX to bring newly remastered 4K Studio Ghibli titles to North American audiences. Tickets are now on sale for both beloved classics, with showings in both the original Japanese language with subtitles and English language dubbed versions.
A chance encounter with a mysterious cat sends Shizuku, a girl with her head in the clouds, on a quest for her true talent. Together with Seiji, a boy determined to follow his dreams, and enchanted by The Baron, an antique cat figurine who guides her to listen to the whispers of her heart, Shizuku embarks on a life-changing adventure that takes her beyond the boundaries of her imagination
In a secret world hidden beneath the floorboards, little people called Borrowers live out of sight of humans. But when brave and tiny Arrietty is out gathering supplies, she is discovered by Shawn, a human boy, and they begin to form a friendship that blossoms into an extraordinary adventure.
