Correction: Hans Christian Andersen. Not Anderson.

Wow…a whole “cinematic experience” devoted to something that should air on Cartoon Network…

Tales from Earthsea was his son. IIRC Miyazaki claimed he was disappointed with it too

Correction: Studio Ghibli is the Japanese Pixar, and vice versa.

Ponyo is a girl… The trailer seems to suggest otherwise…
I like how Miyazaki's films usually have female lead protagonists. Very rare in western animation or movies in general.

Hope it doesn't suck as much as Tales from Earthsea.

I was unable to find a link to the trailer from this post. Even if I could find it, the ridiculous number of dhtml and pop-up ads on your site would make it difficult to click.

w00t let's keep the streak of detrimental, horrible, and unnecessary celebrity voice acting for Studio Ghibli (and nearly all other anime) rolling! lord knows kids get pissed off when true voice talent dares to sully these animated works.

Who else got the vibe that Disney is trying to sell this as another Finding Nemo? Just how the trailer is cut reminded me of Pixar's movie.

as long as they keep that catchy song from the japanese version…it'll all be ok.

It may not make sense, but it sure does look amazing.

Alright, what's the story behind the “Dr.”, Cole? Is it an inside joke that only the Rejects get, or did you actually get a Ph. D in something. Judging from your picture you look to be in your early 20's, so I doubt it….no offense.
