Great news of course! They saved the best for last. One thing: this means My Neighbors the Yamadas is the very last Disney-released Ghibli film to be released on Blu-ray. Wonder if it will ever come out. :/

Finally, been waiting for spirited away for years. I haven't watched the film in the last 7 years or so in hopes of a blu ray! Now I can finally go and enjoy it again in all it's glory!

Finally! But would it be better to buy the japanese blu-ray release instead since it also has the english dub?

If you don't mind the Japanese release being about twice the price as the North American release, the special features being unsubtitled, and the English audio not being lossless, then go for it. For me, however, it shouldn't hurt to wait just a little bit longer for the domestic release.

I'm also surprised Yamadas hasn't been announced with the other two titles, since they usually announce titles in threes. But in addition to Spirited Away, I'm glad enough they're doing the wholly charming and criminally underrated Cat Returns. That movie doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves.

Awesome. ^^ And now that I have a Blu-Ray player, I'd actually be able to enjoy this release!

No date, no preorder, but I'll keep it on my watch list.

If it wasn't for Pon Poko, I'd think Disney had given up on the Takahatas, but it may just be that Cat Returns filled the quota of "Non-Miyazaki family Ghibli", and they'll have to save it for the B-title on another package.
What title, that's the problem. Confused

@pachy_boy I know, I just wanted to know if there some sort of tradeoff in getting the japanese release, like with extras or something, but if the extras aren't subtitled then there's no point.
