Okay, as I'm sure many people are on this site, i'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli (Creators of Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle Etc). And if you aren't, then I guess you check them out.
Anyway, back to the matter on hand. Studio Ghibli have announced that a new film called Ponyo, On A Cliff will be dubbed into English by an all-star cast including Liam Neeson and Matt Damon. I don't know about you, but i'm really excited about this! I had to share it.
Now, onto the second part. As part of a deal, many unreleased Studio Ghibli films will now be released in the UK. This has already been seen with Only Yesterday and Tales From Earthsea. Many more films will be released, however, the one i'm most excited about is Ocean Waves. The story, as far as I have researched, goes around two high school pupils and shows them maturing and relationships. Now, the way I have put that makes it sound bad, but it has been described as "A very good slice of life film" and was compared to Whisper Of The Heart, Which was one of my favourites.
In my knowledge, it was first released as a TV film in 1993, but after growing demand they added it to the deal.
Well, I think i've done ranting for now, but if anyone wants any more information they can visit www.onlineghibli.com for more information. And if anyone has more information on either of the films, please do get in touch!
^_^ Thanks guys, and happy new year, although i'm slightly late now...
