My Neighbour Totoro Blu-ray review

My Neighbour Totoro

Upon hearing the words ‘Studio Ghibli’ and ‘Blu-ray’ together there’s a fairly decent chance that they next words to follow are ‘Want’ and ‘now’.  Hyperbole of this kind is usually the result of obsessive fandom, the clarion call of eager devotees of a film series line up to throw money at the creators for each [...]

Studio Ghibli Video Vault – Howl’s Moving Castle

While I now, of course, appreciate the full genius of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli – I’m only human – it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. Having caught Spirited Away as a teenager, complete with pig parents and a rather spiritless American voice-over, I was clearly ill-equipped to take it in – distracted as [...]
