So Disney > took on Japanese Anime cartoons? > Disney got the rights from Studio Ghibli near the end of 1997, I recall. They seem to be approaching the line a little cautiously, but after watching Kiki's Delivery Service dubbed by Disney, I have to say they did a pretty decent job (I also got a subbed version of this). And having the late, lamented Phil Hartman do Jiji was a master- stroke. As for Nausicaa, Disney has yet to release it. Kiki was first (anime-wise; Shall We Dance? was the first film released under the agreement), followed by Princess Mononoke (Laputa, under the sub-title Castle in the Sky was to be 2nd, but Disney wanted to see how well Kiki did, and so decided on a theater release). As for how I got the C-ko Perfect Memory tape.... well, I trade for fansubs and odd stuff, and I got this with some anime music videos I traded for. Nothing official, except it is from C-ko's Duplication Service, who dupes fansubs for distribution and occasionally does anime music videos, parodies and fandub parodies (like the hilarious Koko wa Otaku and Roadbusted). You should be able to find out more thru The Anime Web Turnpike (http://www.anipike.com). under the Fansubbers group.
