It is basically what Ghibli calls the Disney versions of their movies.

Walt Disney Japan is Ghibli’s home video distributor. The Secret World of Arrietty was (and will likely still remain) Ghibli’s highest grossing North American box office run (likely due to Disney giving it a wider release than Ponyo). Which was probably why the “North American version” BD was released in Japan, with the US Kathleen Kennedy/Frank Marshall produced dub in higher audio quality than the UK dub.

Mary and the Witch's Flower will be released on May 1.

Really need to update the first post, but:

Mune: Guardian of the Moon was already released a month ago
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B074VBKZ4C

It looks like My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea is scheduled for Jan 23
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765KTMF7

And Napping Princess is scheduled for Jan 30
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765MNMBZ

Interestingly, the above two are listed as releasing from Shout! Factory instead of Universal.

Seems like there is no word on The Girl Without Hands yet.

I got the Red Turtle and was wondering if this came with a slipcover. Mine didn't but I have other GKids with slips.

That one is from Sony unlike these new titles, but it did originally come with a slip too, it just didn't last very long at retail.

The Girl Without Hands - 2/20/18

The pre-order price for Napping Princess is $14.96 right now on Walmart and Amazon. I don't think I've ever seen a GKIDS release fall this low before release.

Is Shout! Factory distributing all GKIDS releases now? I know Cinedigm and Universal did some in the past...

Would like to get digital copies with these new releases (and not whatever that was that Shout! did with Long Way North).

I had to buy it on this forum from someone. I couldn't find it in stores.
