Get Studio Ghibli Blu-Ray Steelbooks For $18 And DVDs For $6

Studio Ghibli fans can save big on the animation icon’s movies on Blu-ray and DVD at Amazon this week. If you are building a collection of the matching Steelbook Editions, you can add over a dozen of these lovely collectible editions to your Ghibli display shelf for $18 or less. Many of the movies written and directed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki are included in the catalog of Steelbook Edition deals. And if you’re one of the many Ghibli fans who still watches some of the classics on DVD, now’s the perfect time to stock up. There are 15 Studio Ghibli movies on DVD for $8 or less, and 10 of them are only $6/each.

Studio Ghibli Steelbook Editions are Blu-ray and DVD combo packs. In addition to the collectible case, each movie comes with special features and an exclusive booklet with creator commentary, storyboards, and concept art. The booklets are also included with the standard Blu-ray editions, but you won’t find them in the standalone DVD releases. As mentioned, though, a bunch of Studio Ghibli movies on DVD are very cheap at the moment. Check out the list of DVDs below before reading about the Steelbook Editions.

Eight Studio Ghibli movies written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki are available for $18 in matching Steelbook Editions: Spirited Away, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, and The Wind Rises.

Those eight Miyazaki-directed movies and most of the other Steelbook Editions in Shout Factory’s Ghibli catalog follow the same design aesthetic: a vibrant, solid background color with character art in the middle (as shown above). The Boy and the Heron and Grave of the Fireflies are the exceptions to this rule. The Boy and the Heron, the first and only Studio Ghibli movie on 4K Blu-ray, depicts a full scene on its steelbook cover. The Boy and the Heron’s 4K Steelbook Edition is discounted to $28 (was $45). Shout Factory took the same approach with Grave of the Fireflies when the 1989 film returned to Blu-ray this summer after being out of print for years. Grave of the Fireflies Steelbook Edition is discounted to an all-time low price of $17.89 (was $27).

The cheapest Studio Ghibli Steelbook Edition at the moment is Earwig and the Witch for $10. If you haven’t watched it, just know the 2020 film ditches Studio Ghibli’s distinct visual style in favor of rather generic 3D animation. It’s widely considered the worst Ghibli movie. We also included The Castle of Cagliostro’s upcoming Steelbook Edition on the list above. While it’s not a Ghibli movie–it released before Studio Ghibli existed–the 1979 animated film was Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut. The Castle of Cagliostro Steelbook Edition is exclusive to Crunchyroll and releases December 14.

Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Box Sets (Walmart Exclusive)

Walmart has exclusive Studio Ghibli Blu-ray box sets featuring movies written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The Studio Ghibli 4-Film Set appears to have just launched. Priced at $36.96, this collection comes with the standard edition Blu-ray and DVD combo packs of Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Ponyo, and My Neighbor Totoro. Each movie is packaged in its own plastic case, and you still get the booklets for all four. Other than saving some cash, the only difference here is you get an oversized slipcover featuring the cover art for all four movies.

There are three Studio Ghibli 2-Film Sets at Walmart. Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind are bundled together for $20. You can also get Howl’s Moving Castle with Spirited Away for $23. The third set includes two films found in the 4-Film Set: My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo for $20.

How to Complete your Studio Ghibli Collection

Some of Shout Factory’s Studio Ghibli Steelbook Editions are out of print, including Castle in the Sky, the 1986 fantasy adventure written and directed by Miyazaki. One of the films he wrote but didn’t direct, Whisper of the Heart, is also out of print. The Steelbook Edition of Whisper of the Heart’s 2002 spin-off The Cat Returns is no longer available either.

Thankfully, Castle in the Sky and Whisper of the Heart have standard editions for $16-$17 each. You can complete the Studio Ghibli filmography by picking up the standard Blu-ray editions of The Cat Returns, Pom Poko, The Red Turtle, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Ocean Waves, and Tales from Earthsea.

Below, you’ll find Studio Ghibli’s complete filmography in standard edition Blu-ray and DVD combo packs. You’ll also find two 4K movies on the list below: The Boy and the Heron’s standard 4K Blu-ray and Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro. As mentioned above, it’s not a Ghibli movie, but it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Some of the newer standard editions come with cardboard sleeves, and most are made by Shout Factory, but there are still some Blu-rays lingering around from the days when Disney distributed Studio Ghibli movies on Blu-ray and DVD.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Manga & Studio Ghibli Film Comics

Miyazaki fans should also check out the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Manga Box Set. It’s the only manga series authored by Miyazaki. Naturally, the seven-volume series has plenty of material that didn’t make it into the film adaptation. The box set collects the entire run into two hardcover books totaling 1,104 pages. This beautiful collection had been unavailable to purchase for awhile, but Amazon is taking orders it again as of August 7. You can also get Shuna’s Journey, a manga written and illustrated in watercolor by Miyazaki, for over 50% off. First published in 1983, the moving tale finally received an English translation in 2022.

A handful of Studio Ghibli hits have been adapted into comics over the years. Up until last year, many individual volumes of the Film Comics were difficult because they were out of print. Viz Media’s new All-in-One Editions have brought the Film Comics back to life as budget-friendly hardcover books. Film Comic adaptations of Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Ponyo are available now. Each book is comprised of still images from the movies alongside text that tells the full story in a different medium.

Spirited Away’s omnibus is the largest of the bunch at 856 pages, so it costs five bucks more than the other three available now–but it’s on sale for only $29.17 at Amazon. The All-in-One Edition of Ponyo’s Film Comic was published in July and is already on sale for only $21.76. You can also preorder Princess Mononoke Film Comic: All-in-One Edition for $32.55 (was $35) ahead of its January 2026 release. Like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke’s Film Comic omnibus is 856 pages.
