Animation streaming guide for January 2022 Animation streaming guide for January 2022

The streamers are ushering in the new year with vintage titles aplenty, and a few high-profile originals.

We’ve rounded up the shows and films — new and old alike — coming to Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Hulu, and The Criterion Channel in January (in the U.S.). If there are other U.S. streaming services you’d like to see added to our line-up, share a comment below.

A housekeeping note: streamers 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.
