Title: Superb movie, great DVD
Product review: As other reviewers have said, this is Miyazaki's best, and one ofthe best movies of all time, in any genre.The new Disney DVD release is good. The visuals are wonderful --great color, very crisp, very clean. The transfer does justice toMiyazaki's sweeping, highly detailed visual style.The English dub is also quite good. It's quite faithful to theoriginal dialog, with only a few cringe-inducing moments. Thevoice acting is sometimes rather flat, though, lacking theemotional intensity that it deserves.The audio is quite good, though the sound effects sometimes getpushed farther down in the mix than they should.Overall, the English translation, voice acting, and audio mix issignificantly better than that of the "Castle in the Sky" DVD.Not quite as good as the original Japanese audio track, but verylistenable.The DVD extras are pretty skimpy, but then with a movie this good,who needs extras?Highly recommended.
