Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the colorized-classics dept.

peter_gzowski writes "Anime News Network is reporting that, 'The Japanese consumers in the Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures of Japan have filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Japan over the red tint on the Japanese DVD release of Spirited Away.' Japanese consumers who purchased the Spirited Away DVD were very disappointed when they discovered a red tint to the film. A hundred thousand consumers complained, but Buena Vista Home Entertainment Japan (a subsidiary of Walt Disney) pretended nothing was wrong with the disc. The original source of news of the suit can be found (in Japanese) at Mainichi. No response from Disney yet."

    Does anyone happen to have screen shots of the Japanese version that we could look at? I would like to see first hand how bad this tint is to get that many complaints because in the year 2000 Japan only had ~126,926 people.

      Just found some screenshots with comparisons. IT looks pretty bad, but not worth what they're asking in the lawsuit.
