Just wanted to say I got this from Amazon UK the other day and thought it was a nice, little movie. It has a nice blend of traditional animation and CG. I've never played the Layton games so all the characters were new to me. The storyline I found to be entertaining and apparently it takes places after the fourth Layton game. It was a good mystery and has a sweet ending to it. It's definitely not Miyazaki good but for what it is, it's decent. The packaging itself was great. Check it out:
The boxset I got has the movie on blu ray and DVD and has a bonus DVD included but you can get it on it's own on BD or DVD.
Word of warning, I can't test myself but Manga's rep stated that the licence holder instructed them to region code the disc "B" so N. American fans of Layton beware!
