I've got Totoro, Nausicaa and Kiki's recorded off television for me by
friends in Japan (and prized possessions they are too) but am still waiting
to see the Disney release. It was well over a year ago that the Big Mouse
picked up the rights to ditribute Miyazaki stuff in the west, and I haven't
heard anything else since. Does anyone know if the films were actually
released?

For those of you particularely un-keen on Disney, aparantly Hayao Miyazaki
told them during negotiations that he did not like them at all!

Oh, and someone tell me if I've swandived way off topic. I'm new here :)
