March 26, 2002: (Vague) Disney Release Information
Niall Somerville received this reply from BVHE regarding the home video release of several Studio Ghibli films:

-------
Thank you for your email concerning Japanese animation.

I am pleased to inform you the Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro and Castle in the Sky are due for release in October of this year.
-------

Niall pointed out, "They didn't actually say if they meant the UK, US or both. They also don't say whether it's VHS, DVD or both."

More news as it becomes available.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lets keep our finger crossed that they will be dvd se editions!

Has anyone heard word on Catgirl Nuku Nuku?

BubbleGumUK · 03-29-2002, 11:25 AM

I think at least "Kiki's.." will be a DVD - I've seen it listed somewhere, or heard it was up for disc treatment this year.

Hopefully, the others will be discs too, but don't count on any SEs.

I'm definately crossing my fingers on this one.

If this is true, then yay!

I just hope they include the original language tracks. Hopefully Mononoke taught them that the fans want them. And I hope they do a re-translation of Kiki, because I think the subtitled VHS version BV released used the translation from an alternate English dub.

Anyway, I won't get too excited until I hear an official announcement, but this is encouraging.

I hope Disney doesn't botch this. Man, I love Ghibli movies.

SephirothClone · 03-29-2002, 04:49 PM

Sounds good! I heard that Tristar is getting ready for a Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heavens Door SE!

But I would love a KiKi SE!
