Pretty steelbooks. A shame we'll never get anything like that in the US.

The Simpsons have been paying homage to a lot of world animation in recent years.

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

Does anyone know of ANY edition (preferably Region A) of Totoro on Blu-ray that includes the original English language dub that was used on the Fox VHS/DVD? That's the version I grew up watching and part of the reason I've held off buying the Disney release with the Dakota Fanning track.

Has anyone heard of if or when Spirited Away will be coming out on blu-ray?

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

I haven't heard anything on that. I personally don't think that will happen.
Step 1 would be Japan releasing one (assumed to be sometime this year). U.S. release could be anywhere from 1 - 2+ years from the Japan release date.

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

thank's man

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

It's doubtful that would ever see release on Blu-ray. Disney is not going to license an older dub from another company. Your best bet is to make it yourself (theoretically possible if you are handy with video editing software) or hope someone has already done the work on the Internet and uploaded it as a torrent.

What's with those ugly silhouette covers?

Are those the official ones or just promo things?

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

That Bluray boxed set is $627. Even for typical Japanese market fleecing, that's outrageous.

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

Official.

http://jamiejakov.me/wp-content/uplo...hibliesss.jpeg

Incredibly exciting news. :up:

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

At $627 for 11 films, that is about $57 each. That's not so bad at all for Japan prices. I've paid as much or more for some of them individually when I was in Japan last year.

The only thing I don't like is I'd prefer a box set that had all the Ghibli films, including Ocean Waves (I Can Hear the Sea) and Whispers of the Heart, etc. Oh, and I'd want to include the Ghiblies, parts 1 and 2 as well.

Let's have a true definitive box set! And how about including the fireside chat between Miyazaki and Akira Kurosawa? That chat is the main reason I don't get rid of my Ghibli laserdisc box set...other than that they also include the original non-Disney dubs of Porco Rosso, Kiki, Totoro and Laputa...

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

Considering that Ghibli is still continuing, there won't be a "complete collection" release. Do you really like the idea like the "James Bond Complete (so far) Collection", which gets updated every time a new Bond is released?

By the way, Ghiblies 2 is on "The Cat Returns".
Ghiblies 1 has not had a video release.

Off topic, but may be amusing to some.

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

gave up on Disney Home Video and splurged on the Japanese editions of 'Porco Rosso' and 'Princess Mononoke' (forgot that Kiki was also available - but will more than likely purchase it with 'Spirited Away')

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

UK version on Princess Mononoke on Blu-ray comes out Monday. $28 shipped to my door in the US. Crap, wish I had a region-free blu ray player...they seem to be hard to come by and the few that exist have pretty poor reviews.

(I like the UK version as it has the english voice cast dub)

You could buy the Japanese Blu ray which is Region A and is English friendly with dubs and subtitles. Problem is your going to spend 50 bucks or so but at least you won't need a region-free player.

That's a little surprising. Did Disney and Amazon end their feud already?

No, Amazon just isn't playing hardball yet with Disney. Some Disney pre-orders are up, some are not.

I just watched Kiki's Delivery Service on Blu-ray. The video quality really does make a difference compared to the older dvd release, also For some reason they edited the English dub and removed a few things in the movie.

Re: 1 & Only Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Thread
 

Received the Princess Mononoke BD over the weekend in the mail. The A/V quality is top notch and beautiful. This is a major improvement over the DVD and a bigger step up than Nausicaa's BD.

I hadn't watched the movie in a few years and I was struck again at how forceful and uncompromising this film is. Truly a timeless masterpiece.

I have Kiki's on order, I should get it today. The Kiki DVD was very slipshod, looking forward the the BD. I feel a little weird liking this movie as a 41 year old dad, but it's got a great message and beautiful visuals of an imagined Europe.
