First of all, as the credits started to roll, the audience broke … [Read More]
Here’s something I found thanks to the good people over at KFC Cinema … The trailer for Howl’s Moving Castle – the new film by revered Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke) – has appeared online and it looks mighty good.

This is pure rumor mongering, but I spotted another interesting note whilst perusing Digital Bits … they’ve had word that both seasons of the animated Clone Wars shorts will be hitting DVD in the first quarter of 2005. Timeline seems about right so though there’s been no ‘official’ word on … [Read More]
Is Michael Eisner picking a fight with yet another of Disney’s major feeder studios? Could be. According to The Digital Bits Disney has just indefinitely delayed the DVD releases of Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
