Yeah this is now available to buy and it has English subs. Just wondering if any Ghibli/Miyazaki fans are going to purchase this? I'm pretty tempted - I'm curious to see what the documentary covers, as I adore Ghibli titles.

I think I'll give it a miss, I thought it was like a boxset of his films or something :)

I've been there !

Went last year on a trip to japan with the missus - she booked us tickets over a month in advance (apparently it gets booked solid pretty regularly) was a cool place to go - but surprisingly its more cool for an adult to go there as you get to see all the craft that goes into the films with a ton of Miyazaki's drawings and character designs decorating the place with a few rooms covering the history of animation etc. There's not really enough for kids other than the souvenir stores and one room which has a big fluffy catbus from totoro for them to clamber over.

Surprised to see they've made a dvd about the museum though as, although it was great, i wouldnt have thought there was enough to warrant a dvd devoted to it.
