It seems as though now that Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata have retired, Studio Ghibli is finally capitalizing on bringing us all of the Blu-rays we have been missing out on. On Febraury 3rd, Disney will be distributing Porco Rosso, Pom Poko, and Tales from Earthsea on Blu-ray.

About the films:

Porco Rosso (dir. by Hayao Miyazaki, ‘Spirited Away’, ‘The Wind Rises’) is a film about the clash between modern civilization and the natural world from acclaimed director Isao Takahata. The raccoons of the Tama Hills are being forced from their homes by the rapid development of houses and shopping malls. As it becomes harder to find food and shelter, they decide to band together and fight back. The raccoons practice and perfect the ancient art of transformation until they are even able to appear as humans. In often hilarious ways, the raccoons use their powers to try to scare off the advance of civilization. But will it be enough? Or will the raccoons learn how to live in balance with the modern world? Celebrate the magic of the forest and the beauty of the creatures who live among us in “Pom Poko”.

Pom Poko (dir. by Isao Takahata, ‘Grave of the Fireflies’, ‘The Tale of the Princess Kaguya’) is a valiant World War I flying ace! From tropical Adriatic settings to dazzling aerial maneuvers, this action-adventure from world-renowned animator Hayao Miyazaki is full of humor, courage and chivalry. When “Porco”—whose face has been trans- formed into that of a pig by a mysterious spell—infuriates a band of sky pirates with his aerial heroics, the pirates hire Curtis, a rival pilot, to get rid of him. On the ground, the two pilots compete for the affections of the beautiful Gina. But it’s in the air where the true battles are waged. Will our hero be victorious?

Tales from Earthsea (dir. by Goro Miyazaki, ‘From up on Poppy Hill’) is an epic animated adventure directed by Goro Miyazaki, “Tales From Earthsea” features the voices of Timothy Dalton, Willem Dafoe, Cheech Marin and Mariska Hargitay. Based on the classic “Earthsea” fantasy book series by Ursula K. Le Guin, “Tales From Earthsea” is set in a mythical world filled with magic and bewitchment. In the land of Earthsea, crops are dwindling, dragons have reappeared and humanity is giving way to chaos. Journey with Lord Archmage Sparrowhawk, a master wizard, and Arren, a troubled young prince, on a tale of redemption and self-discovery as they search for the force behind the mysterious imbalance that threatens to destroy their world.
While we all want this new run of Blu-rays to come jam packed with extras, the reality is they only have a few interesting ones.
