Good news for Miyazaki fans

From an interview on AnimeonDVD.com:

- Howl's Moving Castle is due in July in Japan, and should make the release date but nothing was certain. It will be released here though he didn't know when. He said what he's seen of it looks awesome

- Mononoke will get a second theatrical release here- in Japanese. The question was "Will it be released to theaters in Japanese" he said yes that it was in the works. Which left no room for doubt.

- He said every Ghibli feature film should be released in the US by the end of next year. He didn't have details. He said that several will get theatrical releases, some straight to video. He didn't specify since nothing concrete had been worked out. He said that Nausicaa was next out of the box and had a great voice cast. (the English premiere was to be here at the festival but was canceled) He wasn't certain if it was just video or a theatrical release.

- He said that how and when Porco would be released would be announced at months end. It wasn't clear if that's just DVD or a theatrical release.

- For me the stunner was the answer to the question of whether Disney will pick up Totoro when Fox is done and release a wide screen DVD. Albert's response was The English dub was to be complete by next week so, assuming all went well there would be a Disney release, with apparently a new voice cast sometime in the future.


Nausicaa! YES!
