When Ponyo first grew arms and legs she looked like a chicken. hahaha


Edit: Ponyo was a cute movie, I liked it.
Yes it was inspired by the Little Mermaid. It was mentioned quite a bit when it came out.

Re: Arrietty the Borrower U.S. News

via ANN
The AV Watch website reported that the North American Blu-ray Disc of The Secret World of Arrietty (Karigurashi no Arrietty) film will include both the American English dub and the British English dub. It will also have the Japanese dub and Japanese subtitles. Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Studio Ghibli adapted the film's story from Mary Norton's 1952 British novel The Borrowers.

Update: The "North American Edition" of Arrietty with the two English dubs will be sold in Japan under the Ghibli ga Ippai label. Disney has not specified whether the edition that it will sell in North America will also have two English dubs.


EDIT: Pre-order listing is now up @ Amazon Japan. Release date is 6/20/2012 and retailed at 10500yen.

The Amazon.com listings are live now. They have the MSRPs: ($29.99 for DVD and $39.99 for combo). There is still no release date (though it wouldn't surpurise me if the release date is the same as the Japan "North American Edition" release of which is 6/20/12).
