Laputa: Castle in the Sky [JP]

**Clueless_Monkey** · 09-09-2010 02:43 PM

Walt Disney Entertainment Japan will release Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa: Castle in the Sky on December 22, 2010.
No details yet, but I guess it will include at least English subtitles.

Cool, I like that the art is consistent with the Nausicaa art. Not so much a fan of the pink, but meh.

Nice! I'm also not sure about the pink color being good but otherwise it's stylish. Good to see them releasing the older Miyazaki anime movies in chronological order too.

Laputa?

La Puta = The whore in Spanish.

Here's a nice newspage with all the technical details (in Japanese):
http://disney-studio.jp/ghibli/news/detail.jsp?id=1525

- Japanese 2.0 DTS-HD MA audio
- French, German, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin DD 2.0 audio
- Subs: Japanese, English, French, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Finnish

Extras include:
- North American edition of the movie with DD 5.1 English audio and Japanese subs
- Picture in Picture content
- "Screenplay" (Afureko daihon)
- Isolated opening and ending (without credits text)
- Trailers and TV Spots

I'm rather surprised that they included Finnish subs in the specs given that all the other languages are quite major ones, but it's good for me.

The same page includes the details of "My Neighbors the Yamadas" release coming on the same day. It's also English friendly, but sadly includes no Finnish subs.

The name seems to have been influenced by Gulliver's Travels...

The name Laputa itself comes from a novel written by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels. In this story, Swift's Laputa is also a flying island that may be controlled by its citizens.

That's great news, I have the Japanese DVD but will definitely get the BD.

It trips me out, because I can't look past the name without chuckling. Ah, that's the price I pay for being bi-lingual.

When Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels, he was intentionally making a pun about that.

The disc is region free BD50 and English friendly (for the main feature).

There are two versions of the movie on the disc with seamless branching, it seems only the start sequence and end sequence (probably the credit sequences) are different and the runtime for both is equal. I took the BD info from the playlist 1 and the other version is playlist 2, the total bitrates are close and runtimes are equal. They must be the original Japanese version and the U.S. / English versions.

A note about the "North American edition" of the movie on the disc. It seems to be the only way to watch the movie with English audio and it's only available from the Special Features menu. It comes with Japanese subs ON by default and they can't be turned off directly by remote, but by pressing the select key (not the usual pop-up menu key), you get a pop-up menu that allows them to be turned off. First choose the rightmost submenu option and then the leftmost option in the submenu that comes up.

This "North American edition" is done by seamless branching and it uses English language credit sequences instead of the Japanese ones + it comes with the English audio track that can't be changed to another one.
