While it won’t likely threaten to steal any of Scott Pilgrim’s thunder, Studio Ghibli’s Tales from Earthsea is finally hitting theaters next week – directed by Goro Miyazaki, or Miyazaki Jr. rather than Sr. if you prefer.
I say finally because the film released to Japan in 2006, and pretty well every other continent on Earth since. Whether the wait for Disney to bring it here has anything to do with it having some of the most negative reviews I’ve ever seen for a Ghibli film remains to be seen next Friday – I like my first viewing of a Ghibli film to be in the theater.
In the meantime, catch Disney’s half attempt at a trailer after the break.
