Two new Blu-rays out in North America

For Studio Ghibli fans in North America, days like today tend to only come once a year - the day the next wave of Blu-ray titles from Walt Disney Studios arrives on store shelves!

My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro)

Now available to own are two classic films from Hayao Miyazaki, 1988's My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro) and 2004's Howl's Moving Castle (Hauru no Ugoku Shiro).

Howl's Moving Castle (Hauru no Ugoku Shiro)

It has been almost a year to the day that Disney released the last batch of Blu-ray titles in North America.  On May 22, 2012, Castle in the Sky (Tenkū no Shiro Rapyuta), Whisper of the Heart (Mimi o Sumaseba), and The Secret World of Arrietty (Kari-gurashi no Arietti) each went on sale.

Luckily, we still have at least one more Blu-ray release to look forward to this year, From Up on Poppy Hill (Kokuriko-zaka Kara), which is currently available for pre-order and scheduled for release from GKIDS on September 3, 2013.
