There is a reason that the Ghibli head honcho, Hayao Miyazaki is a living legend in Japan and is often referred to as the Japanese Walt Disney. Really famous american actors and actresses line up when word gets out that Studio Ghibli is doing a casting call for USA translations of their works. Their last movie that hit the states, Howl's Moving Castle, had Christian Bale as the voice of Howl. Bale delayed production on some other huge feature movie because he would not give up his role as the voice of Howl.

For you anime fans, you have to check out the 2007 movie Paprika. Look it up on IMDB.com and search for it. There is a dvd screener floating around and this movie has some incredible animation.

Hayao's work are amazing...i really love the Princess Mononoke and the Howls Castle. His animation, his creation is different from the typical anime, it has a different edge, like both kids and adults would enjoy and learn something from his cartoons.
