Animation Coming To Netflix, Disney+, Criterion, Hulu, And More In March 2023
March is just around the corner, and the animation streaming calendar is loaded with a mix of new and classic titles that fans will surely want to dive into.
Netflix will release the highly anticipated series Agent Elvis as well as its next animated feature, a picturesque adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s The Magician’s Elephant. Disney+’s new series Kiff debuts in March and the streamer will also host a special animated broadcast of the Washington Capitals versus New York Rangers NHL game with characters from the show Big City Greens replacing the human players.
Hulu’s impressive lineup of big-name titles is highlighted by the arrival of Masaaki Yuasa’s Ino-Oh. The platform will stream the Oscars on March 13. Veggie Tales fans will be thrilled with the glut of titles coming to Prime Video, but that’s all that Amazon’s streaming service is adding in March.
HBO hasn’t got many new arrivals on the way either, although we’re excited to check out Only You: The Animated Shorts Collections, a series of shorts commissioned by artists from underrepresented communities.
Criterion is adding Alê Abreu’s Oscar-nominated masterpiece Boy and the World, and MUBI will stream a pair of Ghost in the Shell films.
A few notes on the list: The list includes announcements for new seasons of existing shows, however, we do not list new episode releases of existing seasons, as some streamers roll out new episodes in monthly batches. Streamers also often announce new animation releases mid-month. Our guide only catalogs what the streamers announce at the beginning of the month, but, when possible, we try to update the schedule if there are mid-month announcements. The list only includes content premiering on the U.S. versions of these services.
