This leads them to a town filled with corruption where addicts walk the streets, and slaves are traded, eventually leading Ged to discover that Cob, an old defeated adversary seeks to open a realm between the living and the dead to exact his revenge.

Before she knows it, however, she's been swept off her feet by the mysterious magic-user Howl, whose magical Moving Castle is famous throughout the land. Changed into a 90 year old woman by an old mage's curse, she must find a new life with Howl and the many magical creatures that surround him. It's an amazing journey, the kind which only Hayao Miyazaki could create for us.

This is the standard Japanese release. This 2-disc DVD features original Japanese dialogue along with English and French dubbed tracks, and optional subtitles in English, French and Korean. Also includes documentary material and full storyboards of the film. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

The runaway hit anime movie from Hayao Miyazaki, this is Spirited Away (Japanese title Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or the Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro), the film that sunk Titanic as the top-grossing film of all time in Japan. This is the brand new DVD release from Studio Ghibli and Buena Vista Home Entertainment, and it's a dynamite one for fans and collectors of Hayao Miyazaki's excellent feature films.

The charming story follows Chihiro, a girl who is moving to a new town with her parents. They stop to check out an old run-down amusement park, and the next thing Chihiro knows, she's thrown into a world of strange spirits, dragons, speaking frogs, a magical witch, all no less strange than Alice in Wonderland. Of course it's a visual masterpiece, easily the most beautiful animation you've ever seen from Mr. Miyazaki to date. We highly recommend this excellent film to all fans of Studio Ghibli, and are extremely glad to be able to offer it to you!

The film features subtitles in English, French and Japanese, and dubbed soundtrack in French and Japanese. The film is provided on 2 DVDs and features many extras, as with all Studio Ghibli's DVD film releases.

This is the menu for disc 1. Options are, on the left side, View film, Chapter, and on the right side, Sound options, and Subtitle options.

This is the Tokuten (Extras) Disc menu. Options are, View movie (storyboard version), Film trailers, and more.

Spirited Away is a beautiful film, full of incredible scenes and characters that will be especially eye-opening to the Western eye. The images of what Chihiro encounters in the spirit world and call to mind Lewis Carroll very clearly. An incredible combinations of inventions of Mr. Miyazaki's and snippets from tales in ancient Japan and China, this is fabulous example of the quality and dedication that has made Mr. Miyazaki the most famous Japanese person in outside of Japan.

You can enjoy the film either with English, French or Japanese subtitles, or dubbed in French, too!

On the Extras disc, you can view the film in storyboard mode, a great way to get insight on the movie and the director.

Directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and produced by Hayao Miyazaki, this tells the story of the Shizuku, an average 14 year old Japanese girl with a more than active imagination, and of the journey she makes from girlhood into something more, of first girlish love and a rite of passage. A pleasant story that's presented both subtitled in English on these two DVDs -- the only way you can enjoy this film in English! Other extras include all storyboards for the film, watchable in order with the film soundtrack, all film trailers, a feature on the artwork in Japanese, and more.

The Fuccons (Japanese title OH! Mikey) originally began as a segment on the Japanese variety show Vermillion Pleasure Night, where it became such a hit that it was spun off into its own TV program (known there as "Oh Mikey!"). At about three minutes an episode, it runs as an interstitial or "bumper" between other programs. The short program has since become one of the biggest phenomena on Japanese TV!

The second volume of The Fuccons continues the adventures of Mikey, mother Barbara, father James, cousin Laura and all the rest. Can poor Mikey withstand the horror of the horribly improper twins, Tony and Charles, from England? Will he be able to keep up with the schedule obsessed Time Boy? Or will he succumb to the wily and convoluted plans of devious Luara? The answers will be revealed in the smash comedy hit that's so popular in Japan that it even has its own restaurants. Take a deep draught of the insanity and get plastered with the second mind-roasting volume of The Fuccons! A DVD-only release including 17 episodes presented in both English and Japanese with English subtitles. 55 mins. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

Studio Ghibli has come into its own as one of the world's foremost animation houses. This latest DVD release tells the story of a young girl, Haru, who saves a cat prince from being hit by a truck. In return for saving his son's life, the king of cats changes Haru into a cat to marry his son. But everything is not as it would seem, a war rages between the cats, and Haru isn't so sure she's up to marrying the prince.

Directed by Hiroyuki Morita and based loosely on the manga Baron - Neko No Danshaku by Aoi Hiragi, it serves as an unofficial sequel to Whisper of the Heart, including many of the same characters from the cat world. Softer in tone and pace than many of the other Ghibli titles such as Mononoke Hime or Porco Rosso, it is still a Ghibli film in heart and spirit. Captivating, funny, and a treat for audiences who enjoy storylines over violence and action.

Filmed in wide-screen, 16:9 format, The Cat Returns has optional Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Japanese subtitles.

Included with The Cat Returns is a hilarious look at childhood days of the main character who works at an animation studio with a suspiciously similar name. Called Gibri's: Episode 2, it is a powerhouse of interesting and imaginative animation. A 25-minutes short about first crushes, it's a sweet and funny addition to an already great DVD. Shot in widescreen format with optional English or Japanese subtitles.

100 minutes of great Ghibli animation accompanied by a second DVD with promotional TV sports, character boards, the making of, and great additions. An impressive 160 minutes on the second disc, making this a fantastic buy for all fans of Hayao Miyazaki! (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

Meet the Fuccons, a typical 2 1/2 person American family inexplicably transported to the land of the rising sun. Okay, maybe they're not perfect - Dad is a bit stiff and wooden, Mom is plastic and empty headed and Mikey's... well, Mike's just a little dummy. But when it comes to standing firm in the face of this new and alien environment, the family that's made together stays together, and it certainly doesn't hurt that the Fuccons are as thick skinned, rigid and inflexible as they come.

This is a DVD-only release which includes eight hilarious episodes featuring the wackiest highlights of the series presented in both English and the original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles. Also includes plenty of extras. Highly recommended for everyone! Great for collectors of Japanese films on DVD. Run time 25 mins. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

The Rube Goldberg Machine is a complex creation that is powered by a domino effect that sets off a chain reaction of activities to ultimately result in a desired (often very simple) action. One prime example of the Rube Goldberg Machine is a famous scene from the movie Goonies that triggers events to open a gate. In NHK's effort to spark the ingenuity in children, the program Pata Gora Suichi (Pythagora Switch) was created, which featured a fantastic and elaborate Rube Goldberg Machine to which the end result was to display the Pata Gora Suichi title with each episode. Although a simple concept, the devices they create are far from simple, often misleading the view to look down when items are actually "falling upwards" and even can be considered a work of art displaying the beauty of physics. This DVD photobook set features 33 of NHK's best machines that will dazzle kids of all ages, and will keep you superglued to the TV set even if you tried to get away. The photobook this DVD comes encased in shows the various devices that were created, details what items were used and shows you the process of creating these devices in your own home. The machines are so inspiring, that you may even choose to follow in the footsteps of these artisans and create your own unique versions. An absolutely wonderful title with a run time of 19 mins.
