Thread: Some Ghibli US dvd news

  1. Some Ghibli US dvd news

    From AICN-
    According to Anime News Network At theatrical showing of Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli's aviation adventure Porco Rosso, in Austin, Texas it was announced that Disney will be releasing the feature on DVD some time around April.

    Working is currently underway on the ecological epic Nausicaa, which features voice work from Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, and Natalie Portman. The movie was previously edited and dubbed under the title Warriors of the Wind.

    Whispers of the Heart has been translated, but there are problems with a song. (This could possibly be Country Road, which features into the movie's story). Hayao Miyazaki produced, scripted and storyboarded the movie, but he did not direct it. The movie is a high school romance between a girl discovering that she would like to work to be a writer, and an aspiring musician. The movie is mostly reality based, with one eye popping fantasy sequence.

    The next movie after Nausicaa will be Pom Poko, a story of Japan's raccoon-dog tanukis, their mythical shape shifting power, and a fight against human encroachment. The movie was directed by Isao Takahata (Grave of Fireflies). It will be interesting to see how Disney adapts the movie. Like many tanuki stories, it deals with the size of the tanuki's testicles, but their agreement with Ghibli prevents them from the movies without Ghibli's approval.


    Nice voice cast for Nausicaa there. I wouldn't mind hearing it for Uma and Stewart.

  2. Thank god, a decent localization of Nausicaa. I will be buying this. Gotta be one of the best animated films of the 80s.
