Yo, fellow brits.

They're currently having a Studio Ghibli season on Film4. Today at 4:55pm it's Laputa: Castle In The Sky.

Kinda annoyed that I've seemed to have missed Princess Mononoke.

    That's where I saw Princess Mononoke the other day. Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind is on Tuesday at 445 pm. I might watch it since I haven't seen it.

    Porco Rosso on Wendesday.

    I thought Laputa was great. Very different to the other Miyazaki films I've seen.

    I missed the movies over the weekend and I'm at work when the remaining ones are on this week plain



    Have they all been dubbed BTW? I saw the opening of Castle in the Sky on Sunday and although it looks fantastic it was all subtitled, this may sound lazy but I'd rather listen and watch a movie that read a movie.


    If you catch my meaning.

    i know that for princess mononoke they made a special effort and recruited neil gaiman to write the english dialogue. they also asked actors to do the dubbing, just like they do for the new animated movies from the US. didn't help the film much, unfortunately.

    Nausicaa is dubbed. Voice credits in the writeup blurb include Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, and Alison Lohman (never heard of her).
    Porcos Rosso is also dubbed - Michael Keaton is mentioned in its blurb.

    My TV listings magazine lied - the version of Nausicaa shown was subtitled - not dubbed. So take anything I said above with the proverbial grain of salt..

    i started with that one, too. i think it's the one that least tries to get a mparticular message home and also has the most adult content. in short, it's a very good animated film and completely deserving of all the accolade.

    Miyazaki films . . . my god, they're so awesome. hypnotized Believe it or not, I didn't have any problems with any of the dubbings, except James Van Deer (Der?) Deek's performance in Laputa: Castle In The Sky. I guess I was too engrossed in the stories to care, I guess.

    I love how he crafts heroines in particular. They're perfectly strong and capable and do more than 'hold their own' with men, they usually outclass them altogether.

    And he probably has one of the most vivid imagination I've ever seen. Laputa Castle was . . . positively gorgeous. And the forest god from Mononoke . . .

    I've seen pretty much all of Miyazaki's films now except for The Castle Of Caligistro, or whatever it's called.

    A while back I had a regualr babysitting job whith a family who had Sky+. Because of that I got to see both Nausicaa and My Neibhor Totoro. Really liked both of them.

    And got Laputa: Castle In The Sky and The Cat Returns for Christmas.

    Next on the list to see is Whisper Of The Heart.

    i wasn't aware of this because in the UK the film hasn't even properly started yet.

    as previously reported in this thread, miyazaki's son, goro miyazaki, has tackled 'legend of earthsea' a novel by ursula le guin.

    find the info here.

    I haven't seen that one yet.

    Next film for Hayao Miyazaki will be Ponyo on a Cliff. I think the animation looks similar as to that seen in the wonderful anime My Neighbors the Yamadas by director Isao Takahata.
