The Future of Ghibli US Releases

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the here's-hoping-people dept.

ChibiOne writes "Nausicaa.net is reporting very interesting news regarding the US release for the works of (Hayao Miyazaki's) Studio Ghibli. Steven Alpert (VP at Tokuma International, parent of Studio Ghibli) spoke after the screening of "Porco Rosso" in New York and revealed several new release plans. AnimeOnDVD has a complete report." It says "every Ghibli feature film should be released in the US by the end of next year" as well as a widescreen re-release of Totoro. Here's hoping!

    Because I would like to watch one of their productions without selling my soul to the Most Evil Corporation from Hell.

      Well, if that's not possible, I know of another sort of Ghibli that's at least as enjoyable ;)

    I first read that as 'the future of Gigli US releases'

    got a little freaked out for a sec there...

    "You get to watch John Lasseter's sicophantic introduction to every Miyazaki DVD over the course of an entire year!"

    (this joke will only make sense to those who have seen the Disney Ghibli releases)
