Anime presented by Disney

Postby Anime Jedi » Mon Sep 16, 2002 5:18 pm

This is something I thought I would never see. An anime movie translated and presented by Disney. The movie is Spirited Away. I've never heard of it before, so I was surprised to see it. My friend said he saw a commercial of it, so I checked it out and sure enough, it was there. Here's the website for it. http://bventertainment.go.com/movies/spiritedaway/index2.html

I'm amazed that it's possible to create two of the same link at the same time. It hought the Org had stopped that.

Anyway, yeah I heard. I haven't been proud of anything Disney has let out though. Disney seems to think Anime is it's great competition and won't release any anime they license on at a large scale.

Anyway, I'm checking it out the same way I have checked out many other anime. I just installed WinMX, it looks swell.

The thing was that I was impatient with my slow internet. So, when it wasn't loading, I pressed the submit button again, and again. Finally it showed up, but one too many. Gotta have more patience. :wink:

Disney has been releasing Studfio Ghibli's titles for a long time. They released Totoro, they released Kiki's Delivery Service, they released Princess Mononoke... It's no biggie.

Totoro was released by Fox before the Ghibli/Disney deal.
By the way, here's a transcript of a recent press interview with Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki.

I guessed you showed me my ignorance. :oops: I didn't really realize that there was that many released by Disney. I should really research more before I post something.

By the way, I thought Princess Mononoke was released by Alliance Atlantis films. Guess I was wrong. :wink:

Aren't they primarily a distributor/broadcaster? They do some production, but it doesn't seem like much:

And if you want to get technical, I think Princess Mononoke was theatrically released under Disney's Miramax label. Yeah... I just checked. Here's more information on the Disney-Tokuma deal if you're interested:

So... one company releases, another distributes. This is getting confusing. And Miramax is a Disney corporation. See, I didn't know that either. Don't worry, at this pace, I've only got 50 years to become an anime sage.

I've gotta agree with you. This guy's been able to beat me at every opprotunity. Not only that, he's makes great AMVs!

Heh thanks. :)
You want confusing, there are around 10 company logos at the beginning of Death and Rebirth. ;)

Pixar studios, which does their CG animation, might as well be.

USA Today has an article in today's issue about Spirited Away:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2002-09-17-disney-animation_x.htm

Nausicaa.net has the theater release list for this coming Friday:
http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/sen/theaters.php
More theaters will be added on Sep 27.

The movie has a high score at Rotten Tomatoes (10 out of 10 at this time):
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/SpiritedAway-1116064/

The English voice cast can be found here:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0245429

And when you're listing Disney companies, Buena Vista has to be near the top. I believe they handle video distribution for all the Disney companies and that includes the region 2 releases in Japan.

And...Castle In the Sky will be released in two weeks (region 2 only). Good times for Miyazaki fans.
