"New Studio Ghibli Film!"

Yes, that's right. It's called Howl's Moving Castle and it's directored by the legend that is Hayao Miyazaki. It's coming out in Japan at the end of this year. If it ever gets released over here I'm definetly gonna see it. I already own two Ghibli films, Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies, and they are fantastic.

That is incorrect. I know somewhere else ;)

...yes, but it only cost me £3.50 from the US, including postage! (on Amazon uk's zshops) [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00003CXCZ/qid%3D1096916582/026-8389517-7147646[/URL]

I'm not sure if it does. I think he likes the dub but Fox who own/ed it at the time knew they were going to have to hand over the release to Disney so what they did to make more money was to do a quick release on DVD. Of course it wasn't very good at all, might have been a fullscreen version, just like the VHS but on a DVD. Nothing special.

What's wrong with that version? The guy below said it was bad. Does it come with Japanese too?

That My Neighbour Totoro is the old dub (which I love) Disney are re-releasing and redubbing it. Like Porco Rosso.

My Neighbour Totoro is out in the USA.

I'm gonna be getting Mononoke Hime and probably My Neighbour Totoro. And I do know about the older films, hence the reason I got Grave of the Flireflies. This site is great for info:

I'll buy which ever comes first (meaning the US ones). It's a shame that they won't appear sooner over here but you know how it is.

Though Spirited Away was very good, some people still enjoy ghibli films that were made as far back as 2 decades ago, a lot more. Unfortunately most people only know of Spirited Away and to a lesser extent Princess Mononoke when infact 14 Ghibli movies have been made since 1984. Things would be a lot different had they been released in UK cinemas. Trust Disney to purchases the rights 1996 and take 8 years releasing the first 1 in the UK ¬_¬ you see Disney are threatened by them, that's why the UK releases are crap, hardly any extras, dubtitles (not exact translations) and crappy packaging. Compare that to their own releases.

Don't really see the big fuss with this Ghibli stuff.

Spirited Away was quite nice, but not something I'd go mad over.
