Studio Ghibl Hayao Miyazaki Collection 18 Films DVD Box Set - PAL Format Review

This is an imported collection not released in the US. The seal on it says official version approved by the Malaysian government.

There are no extras and the movies are not high def, but than some of these films have not been released in high def anywhere yet so that's not really an issue. They are standard DVD quality.

At least half the films have an English dub, the rest only have English subtitles, but that's basically because these are not the US versions of the films, they are the original without Disney remastering. It should be noted #17 is not a full length film, it is a musical video/short film from the same director.

Anyway, as long as you are paying under $100 (at the time I write this there are several sellers in the $100 to $200 range) than you are saving money. If you just bought the films individually that are available in the US you would be paying over $100 anyway, so if you can get them in one set along with the extra Asian only released films, than it's worth it.

If you like all the bonus material that Disney adds to their versions, skip this, but you will be paying at least double the price and you will have to wait a few years for several of these films are not scheduled for US release any time soon.

Someone else commented that he thinks this is a bootleg and I want to mention: Disney is the US licensed distributor for Studio Ghibli, but they are NOT always the distributor for the rest of the world, in Japan the films are released by Toho, in other countries this varies. The set I received was from Animedia (and I have several other good quality DVD imports from Animedia). So just because it is not from Disney does not make it bootleg. This is definitely an imported version and not the Disney release, but I don't think it's bootleg.
