I just found out that there’s another great animation due out from Studio Ghibli this July. Unfortunately, that date’s the Japanese release; I’ve got no idea when Disney will release this in the States. Anyway, the movie’s Tales From Earthsea, based on the books by Ursula K. Le Guin. The SciFi Channel recently made a miniseries based on these books, but it was very poorly done. I have every confidence that Miyazaki‘s version will be a significant improvement.

BTW, I myself have never read the books. Just seen the miniseries (and seen about everything from Miyazaki that I can get my hands on).
