If I had to look back over the long line of Studio Ghibli films that I’ve viewed, I would have to say that Arrietty is the most simplistic and airy film of the whole series. It acts both as a sweet tale about enjoying the simple things in life, as well as just BEING a simple story at heart as well. The Secret World of Arrietty is first and foremost, a tale of simplicity. With these new releases, Shout Factory and Studio Ghibli have worked together to rectify those small issues and re-release their lineup on Blu-ray once more at a substantially lower price than Disney was able to. traditional direct translations from the Japanese language tracks that REALLY frustrated purists (myself included). Disney did some great stuff with their Studio Ghibli releases, but there were a small handful of titles (such as Princess Monnonoke) that had subpar subtitles as Disney used “Dubtitles” (translations of the English dub) vs. I missed the opportunity to review for you all 8 titles that were released on the 17th of October, but over the course of the next month or so there will be another set of batches that are coming over via Shout, and I’ll be putting those out for you. Over this last month they have released 8 of their original titles that were given to Disney, and are in the works to redistribute just about all the rest of their titles (minus the ones licensed to Universal and Up on Poppy Hill and Grave of the Fireflies), INCLUDING the single title that even Disney couldn’t get.
As of this year Studio Ghibli has officially cut ties with Disney proper for their releases and have moved over to Shout Factory as their new distributor.
