Howl's Moving Castle

If you missed it in the theater, the wonderful addition to the Ghibli stable will be released on DVD on March 7th according to Amazon.

...along with "My Neighbor Totoro" (finally!) and "Whisper of the Heart". If you see Chernabog, ask him about Whisper. Better yet, ask him to sing the theme song...

I can live without Totoro but I'm excited about the others.

Say it isn's so!

I love me some Totoro.

It was certainly beautiful, though I prefer the book's storyline. Cannot wait to watch it again.

Totoro just doesn't do it for me. My favorite Miyazaki (as much as I love Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away) is still Porco Rosso.

I have Howl's on my N'flix save queue already. I wanted to see it in theaters, but it was barely in release. It made 6.2 million in the U.S. .... and, ready? .... 229.4 million worldwide.

Maybe if it was in theaters for longer than a week, people would have had a chance to throw money at it.

Stupid Americans!

Heh and how much of that 6.2 million came from Claifornia I wonder

I didn't see it in the theaters because as far as I could tell, it was only being shown dubbed near me (you'd think near UCI they'd subtitle it...but no).

Alex · 03-02-2006, 05:17 PM

Yeah, I believe that it was only released in a dubbed version. For Spirited Away they had both subtitled and dubbed prints and let theaters choose which they wanted. If I recall correctly only a dozen theaters or so opted for the subtitled prints so that is probably why they just skipped that this time around (making prints is expensive).

So my press screening for Howl's Moving Castle was in San Francisco's Japantown and still shown dubbed. At least Disney and Lasseter put a lot of time and effort into making quality dubs.
