^ ha yeah that wasnt what i was really trying to start with this thread... it was kinda a joke. but yes what you say is true 
But yeah the Dub isnt that great on Mononoke...
I dont think the fat man (cant remember his name)
that Ashitaka meets in the village has a very good (suiting) voice... anyone else in on this with me?

...That hears a Brooklyn/Bronx accent from the girl who's Husband gets saved and brought back to the village by Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke?
Ps. Im obviously talking about the Dub here.
PPs. Ashitaka shaves his armpits - you can see
in the scene where he works the bellows.

Now I hold in my hands what is supposedly a 'Studio Ghibli Collection' which I assumed was an original release, which I got this christmas.
Anyway I've found another on eBay just so I can show you the one I have, and to confirm, yes there are 2 films on each DVD, it's an NTSC release but is region free and, yeah, I'd love to know you guys' opinions
heres the link: 'Studio Ghibli Complete Collection'
p.s scroll to the bottom for the picture of the actual DVD set
Do they have the english dub?

Altogether it's about couple of hours worth - I think the main documentary is about an hour and a quarter. It's documentary/interviews for the most part yes, with occasional brief clips from various Ghibli films. Whilst most of it is centred on the recent exhibition, there are occasional things that are pulled from archives, like some shots of the Ghibli staff as they went on location to see Safflowers for Only Yesterday for example. You might get sick of hearing how he wants to use less detail[!], but apart from that it's mostly very interesting, comprising of pieces about how he came to work on Ghibli films, how his art was used when they made the films, and the different styles he employed.
There is a small glimpse of Howl's Moving Castle in as much as they touch upon the beautiful flower-covered marshes that Oga painted. But I wouldn't say you should buy this if you are only a fan of one Ghibli film in particular - whilst it at least mentions most major Ghibli films from Totoro onwards (which was when Oga became involved with Ghibli) it does concentrate on Totoro and Only Yesterday, some Pom Poko with a little bit on Mononoke and a great bit about Whisper of the Heart. There is far less time spent on everything else, though you get brief examples of his work for Spirited Away Porco Rosso, Kiki's, Howl's at various points.
I hope that is all reasonably accurate, I've only watched it once so far!
Wow thanks so much for all that info!
this really intrigues me alot!
Im a big fan of Howl but I like all the other Ghibli movies alot and what really draws me to them is the art so this is actually a kinda perfect DVD!
is it on amazon.com yet?

^ it was also the first Ghibli movie I saw.
Do you think that affected the way you looked at the other Ghibli movies you saw after that?
I personally thought they where going to be more epic in proportion.
(Valley of the Wind lived up to that idea, but Kiki's didnt for example)

okay could you explain how including Totoro in a group of loved characters makes fun of Ghibli lovers?
really?
isnt it just a shout out?

I like it more now that its political.
I really dont think that it really effects it that much though.
I mean they swear just as much as they did before right?
Back onto the topic though, seeing Totorro in south park
is really great news! Im pretty sure someone over at south park studios is a Ghibli fan!

I enjoyed this movie right up until around the end.
It was really moving and great but the ending kinda left off really to fast...
and wasn't very satisfying.
gotta love the giant growing testicles though!!!

I think this is where he really comes in and shines as a director.
Many people are addicted to Miyazaki's movies, although they vary so much on subject and genre, because he has this way of connecting us to them.
I think these transition shots (along with the music used during them and the regular dialogue/action shots) is what can really draw us into the movie and bring us not to just watch it but to experience it.

Howl's Moving Castle is by far my favorite Ghibli film.
(Far and above all others)
You cleared up the vast majority of problems people had with it very well Roarkiller! Thanks!
The first time I watched HMC I really enjoyed it but I didnt fully understand it. I read a bit about it on Wikipedia and read the FAQ at nausicaa.net http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/howl/ and then re-watched it and found that every part of the movie was infact important and pertained to the plot.
Once you figure out how each piece belongs in the movie (albeit it can take some research) you can see how you can in fact conclude many of the things from actually just watching the movie and not going to outside sources.
The problem is some things (such as characters talking in the background - which many people dont pay attention too) seem minor of the surface but contain information that is crucial for understanding and appreciating the film.
I really recommend anyone that did not understand/thought HMC was pointless to go and read a bit about it and then re-visit it and really follow along.
You will find that it is in fact alot more complex then other Ghibli films (for example, Kiki's delivery service - which is so damn straightforward you know exactly whats coming next...) and is very deep and meaningful!
Goodluck!
(Ps. Im new so 'Hi!')
