Wow wow wow... Seemed like Studio Ghibli got a lot of steelbooks treatment, couldn't wait to see Spirited Away on blu for the first time tho

 

[Shayid]

Nice to see these Studio Ghibli getting the steel treatment

 

[dvdjunkie]

Are these going to be exclusive to a retailer?

I just finished buying the whole studio ghibli collection in amaray like 2 weeks ago, and now this news..

It'll be good to see this again, I watched this for the first time in a tent in Glastonbury on the first day of arriving. I fell asleep halfway through.. not because of the movie, but because I may have been a little

It does not appear that way...

Ponyo is a cute flick from Studio Ghibli and yet another must own in steelbook

I'm wondering if that's actually going to be a white background or the whole 'silver steel' debacle again?

Oops... Studio Canal.. oh boy, region lock again perhaps?

Oops... Studio Canal.. oh boy, region lock again perhaps?

I was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately I don't have a region free player.

 

[megabee]

Oh My,
The artwork is one of the ugliest ever for this title. Why leave so much space unused when Miyazaki is famous for extremely detailed backgrounds. This is against what he does to movies.

About region codes I do not care, the player is multizone, but yes, the previous UK edition was B-locked, but 'stop+top menu' trick worked on this title - checked myself for all possible regions of player.

Thus, if you have a good player capable of the trick (sony ones are no-go), and unless they do a new master, this title should be good for you.

Did you see the back of Howl's yet? Speaking of wasted space...

Yeah, I had a look at THAT. Those Studio Canal people are certainly crazy.

i think this will be pretty epic if it turns out white and not silver and the finish is good as well.
