Posted by Daniel Thomas on 11.19.2014, 09:17 AM: Horus, Prince of the Sun (DVD) 12/23 Hello, fellow Ghibli Freaks! I wanted to make sure everyone here at Ghibli Tavern heard the good news - Horus, Prince of the Sun is coming to DVD in time for Christmas. This is the landmark 1968 anime movie directed by Isao Takahata, with scene design, character design and key animation by Hayao Miyazaki. This is the first major work by both, and the beginning of their famed partnership, which of course led to Studio Ghibli.

Posted by Daniel Thomas on 11.19.2014, 11:04 PM: As far as I am aware, Horus should be available on Amazon. I submitted the "homework" data for the Horus Amazon page, so pre-orders could begin, but Discotek hasn't done it yet. I'll press again on that front.

Posted by Daniel Thomas on 11.22.2014, 12:52 AM: I have the UK Optimum Asia DVD as well. It's absolutely wretched. It uses the WRONG TITLE, has a terrible interlaced image, the subtitles are spotty and lazy, and there are NO EXTRAS.

Posted by Saddletank on 11.22.2014, 08:40 AM: Those comments seen a little harsh. I presume the UK release was via the publisher Optimum Releasing who have done all the other Ghibli UK releases? All my collection apart from Ocean Waves is from them and their other productions are extremely good, being mostly based on the Disney dubs and subs.

Posted by Kazegami on 12.12.2014, 01:49 PM: I didn't like it, honestly. Saw it once, no desire to do so again.

Posted by Daniel Thomas on 12.24.2014, 03:45 PM: Happy Holidays, everyone! A friendly reminder that Horus, Prince of the Sun (DVD) is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy. Be sure to grab a copy for that last-minute Christmas gift.
