Best Buy Huge Studio Ghibli Blu-Ray/DVD Combo + DVD Sale!

CAGiversary!
Peeked at the ad this morning, here's the lot:

$20 Blu/DVD Combos:

Porco Russo

Pom Poko

Tales from Earthsea

Whisper of the Heart

The Wind Rises

Princess Mononoke

Kiki's Delivery Service

Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind (Not Advertised; Found via Blu-Ray.com)

Arrietty (Same)

Ponyo (Same)

My Neighbor Totoro (Found via Bestbuy.com search)

Howl's Moving Castle (Same)

**Castle in the Sky is available on Blu/DVD, but is still priced at $27.99**

**Spirited Away isn't available on Blu/DVD here yet? Really, Disney?**

$17 DVDs:

Spirited Away

Howl's Moving Castle

Castle in the Sky

My Neighbor Totoro

**VARIOUS OTHERS ARE RANGING FROM $15-18 BUT NOT LISTING CAUSE SEARCH WOULD TAKE TOO LONG**

Consider that these are being handled by Disney for localization here. And to see the Blu/DVD combos for these classic flicks hit $20 or less hasn't happened a whole lot as of yet.

My recommendations: Nausicaa, Mononoke, and Totoro. Howl's is a personal favorite, but the three I list are the true gems of the sale.

What's wrong with the Mononoke Blu?

Absolutely nothing.

Unless youre in group 1 which means youre one of those snarky anime fans that that complain about every single little detail and come off as pretentious know it alls always finding something "that isnt right". Or in group 2 which makes you one of the ones who dont really know anything, but will repeat what they see other people complain about online so they can feel like part of group 1.

Or group 3 where you want proper translations and not just the English dub script? I guess group 4 is the people who are okay with it which is fine. And group 5 are assholes who have to judge other people.

 
Any suggestions on which are the best ones to watch in you only had let's say 5 to choose from? I have never watch any of these movies but my children love Disney movies  (i know this isn't from Disney but they bought the studio kinda like buying Pixar which we love) kinda hard finding anime to wean them on that isn't too violent for a three and two year old.(they do love Mulan)

Spirited Away is one of the best animated films ever created (in my opinion). You'll love it, your kids will love it, everyone loves it. It's a must buy.

Princess Mononoke is another masterpiece and usually regarded as the best film by Studio Ghibli. It's a bit more violent though, and your kids might not appreciate it til they are a bit older. That being said, I recommend it if you were looking for a great movie to watch.

They would probably also enjoy Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, and My Neighbor Totoro. There's your 5!

*Edit* Btw if you get Mononoke you'll probably want to give it a watch before you show it to your kids so you can decide if it's appropriate for them or not. There's blood, death, war, etc. I'm not a parent so I have no idea but I probably wouldn't show it to them if they were only 2 or 3 years old :S But I still recommend you watch it!

Shockingly, Best Buy replied back to my email in a timely manner and provided me the refund back on Tales/Porco/Pom for the $5 + tax on each one.   Guess I'm all done with that now. 

I'd also agree with fishphoenix's assessments for five to pick from.    Out of the five listed, I would put them in most to least kid-friendly order as such:

1) Spirited Away

2) KiKi's Delivery Service

3) My Neighbor Totoro

4) Howl's Moving Castle

5) Princess Mononoke

Nausicaa of the Valley of WInd, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and My Neighbor Totoro.

Nausicaa and Mononoke are the two most mature of the five, though...so if you want kid-friendly, swap them for Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Russo.

Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service are the most kid friendly. Spirited Away is excellent for children too, but only the dvd is currently out in the US. Blu-ray release will come around eventually if you care about dvd vs blu. Also, Disney didn't buy Studio Ghibli. They just have distributor rights for the US and other regions.

 
Saying that Princess Mononoke is a bit more violent is like saying that it was a little nippy last night in the south.  Mononoke is an very violent film, containing beheadings, and disarmings (literally), and massive amounts of blood.

 
Just FYI, I received my copy of Porco Rosso from BB today and it didn't have a slipcover.  I haven't received my others yet but hopefully they'll have the slipcovers.

 
Has there been any clues that Spirited Away will be released in the near future on blu-ray? I mean I'm sure it will at some point but am hoping sooner rather than later.
 
Oh and I literally popped in Princess Mononoke for the first time as a snow day movie for the family today and almost turned it off. I was warned but it was worse than I figured it would be. My kids are 7 and 3 and I really wouldn't suggest it for anyone under 10. Someone else gets the dad of the day award today.

First time I've seen a slipcover for Porco Rosso was at a Best Buy tonight. Various Walmarts and other Best Buy stores I've visited haven't had it.

Uh, yeah, we did warn you. Kid-appropriate Ghibli films are pretty much all of them except Spirited away (some scary images), wind rises (a lot of adult themes), Princess Mononoke, and I guess Nausicaa mostly because it does have a lot of hard to understand stuff in it. Next time, get Ponyo, Totoro, or Kiki. Or maybe even Howl. Even though it's not on blu-ray, yet, Cat Returns is also a really damn good movie, and very kid appropriate.

That was the last one we hadn't watched yet that have been put out on blu except the last 3-batch. Didn't have any problems really with anything else.
 
Well, with Nausicaa, and Wind rises, I was thinking they might be bored since it's very much about the story-telling.  BTW, don't forget about Up on Poppy Hill.  Btw, if it sounded like I was jumping all over you, it wasn't on purpose, I was just reminding you we had warned you.

Oh you guys warned me for sure. I just have hardly any time as it is and the idea of pre-screening it seemed pointless. Lesson learned,
 
Also, do not watch let your children watch Grave of the Fireflies if they're still too young. That will give them emotional scars.

Thanks for taking the bullet, was going to buy this for the 6 and 3 year old today.

So what about Kaguya? I bought it as a blind buy and would love to know if it's filled with romantic murder.

 
Seriously?  Do you guys never look at the ratings?  It says PG-13 for Images of Violence and Gore, though it should say "Images of Extremely Graphic Violence, and some gore"

Yeah, my local BB had copies of Porco Rosso with slipcovers. I just assumed all the Disney-released Ghibli films had them since all the previous ones I bought and the others I saw in stores also had them. The one I got in the mail had the same "New on Blu-ray" sticker on the plastic wrap that the store copy had on the slipcover.

Just bought it today and watched it with the kids (13 yr. old girl and 9 yr. old boy). We all enjoyed it, and even the boy commented on how much he liked the art work. It is over two hours long. There is some nudity but it is in keeping with the story and times. Little bit of violence, but not much. There are some emotional parts at the end that may be a bit much for your kids. I would say your biggest problem would be that there isn't much going on unlike Pixar movies and the like. Your kids might get bored and bail.

You should definitely watch it for yourself though at least. This is up there with Mononoke for me.

lol Thanks for the advise! I look up and saw it was rated PG-13 for violence and gore. Don't need my children to have any nightmares. I'm not against violent movies just not for a 3 and 2 year old. I know some parents have higher standards. At a dinner party I put Mulan on for the kids and a couple of the other parents ask if we can switch it for something less violent.(my children were the youngest their) Thanks everyone for your many tips and advice. Looks like a few of them are now on the Disney Movie club, I think its time to pull the trigger.

 
My two year old has watched Mulan, I'm pretty sure those parents never actually watched that movie.  My wife, and I have agreed he'll watch Mononoke when he's about 11 or so (probably closer to 13, because even for a pg-13 movie it's very, very violent). I apologize for flipping out earlier, but one of my biggest pet peeves are people that ignore the MPAA, and ESRB ratings.  What pisses me off even more are the people that ignore those, and then bitch when their kid is exposed to the stuff.  BTW, Pom Pokko is probably easily a young kids movie, too, because it has the kind of humor kids would like, and everything else that makes it PG is mostly thematic. I can't believe I forgot this one, but Secret World of Arriety is a great kid-appropriate movie, too, and Castle in the Sky is a great movie that kids can watch, but young kids might find it boring, as there isn't that much action, and there's much more story to it.

Yeah it makes me mad too. Off topic but when I was at Gamestop getting my new 3DS there was a little kid with his mom and she was buying him Assassins Creed Revelations, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2, and Modern Warfare 3. And I don't mean your typical 12 year old you might hear on Xbox live, this kid was probably around 6 or 7. Pissed me off so much.
 
Another thing that bothers me (related to the Mulan thing) is that many people don't understand the difference between action and violence.  Mulan has a lot of action in it, but not a lot of actual violence.  (at least violence that you see)

I used to work for Gamestop(Long time ago) I was shock how many parents said yes to grand theft auto san andres even after I said he will be able to have sex with hookers, go on mass murder sprees and language. There is a reason why some games are rated M for 17 plus.

Ponyo does not include a slipcover anymore, so you can mark that one off of your list.

As far as all of the other Disney released ones they should all still have slipcovers with them, minus the occasional returned copy from people purchasing it, jacking the slipcover, and then returning it and retailers can't tell the difference and put them back up for sale.

I might have a spare one of those for Whisper Of The Heart, as I think I ordered four slipcovers from BVHE when I thought a number of Ghibli items I ordered came without them. Let me go check my copy of WOTH at home and see if I do have a spare one.

Amazon? Maybe. Best Buy, the sale price is good all week.

Make sure that Amazon is the reseller and not a third party on their site. If they ran through their stock, they likely shifted to another seller that has it 'in stock'.

Ah yes, the mainstream american. Shocked because they see other people doing things they dont agree with and then following it up with some generic mantra of "There is a reason its rated M". The very embodiment of the american citizen that "concerns" themselves with what people they dont even know do as if it somehow matters or effects them personally. And feels the need to say in front of other people about what they think is wrong with other people they dont know so they get to feel witty, and savvy.

Just because you dont agree with something doesnt mean everyone needs, should or will agree with you. When I was 12 years old my mom bought me a copy of thriller a cruel picture (aka they call her one eye) because she knew I could handle it, and I did. If you had seen the movie you would say she is wrong, but again you are not my mom, you did not know me at that age, and knew nothing of what I could or could not handle. Same thing, all of those billions of people on the planet you are "shocked" by, you dont know them and assume they are all exactly like you when they arent. Of course at that age I also owned 3 guns, my uncle let me drink beer with him when I visited and I drove to middle school and parked in the teachers parking lot (benefits of growing up in the semi country decades ago) and I never did bad awful things to anyone despite watching extremely graphic exploitation movies at a young age, didnt turn out to be a gun wielding maniac, didnt turn out to be a drunk and only had 1 ticket in my life.

I can see from your perspective, just because some disagree doesn't mean they are right. It is ultimately up to the parent to decide how they want to raise their child. Majority of the time parents were just not aware of what their child is playing and I do feel it is important to inform them and then allow the parent to decide. My father didn't grow up in a generation of video games and had no clue what "E", "T" or "M" even meant. It's ok if i'm "shock" I couldn't stop the transition from happening. There are things that parents do that would even "shock you". I wouldn't allow a 12 year old to drink beer, or drive a car own their own. I do not think those are wise choices. The consequences and risks out weight the positive. Your actions may not of effected you but it can effect others. I work at a preschool where a child watch adult content with their parents and felt it was ok as a 5 year old to walk up and grope the teacher. You are saying it's the parents choice but the parents choice ended up effecting this teacher who was humiliated and scared for life. I'm not looking for a debate here but I know that even you have a line on what you would or not allow your own children to do.

 
This Mercer guy seriously has a stick up his ass. Guess that's what happens when you are drinking beer and owning guns at the age of 12.

Actually, they went up on Best Buy to that price first, which is why Amazon went up to that price too.

Only the DVD versions were technically listed in the ad, and the blu-ray versions were just on sale as a bonus, but they went up in price not long after, so they're no good at Best Buy for the blus now.

Yeah, my Ponyo doesn't and it aggravates me a little bit. All my other Disney releases have slips. I ordered Nausicca from Amazon during this sale. Hopefully it has a slip and isn't one of those returns you're referring to. Own all the current US releases after this.

I would say it helps to take the ad in-store. If any copies are left in-store, then it's worth taking the ad or a copy of it in. They shouldn't refuse you at that point. If they do, then it makes you wonder why they offer ad prices for the entirety of the ad's existence and refuse the price advertised. Online, maybe it changed.

One of my friends was able to use the ad on their phone today and get the blu's for the prices listed, on the condition it's for the items listed in the main ad. Anything not visible is surely not going to be dealt with.

If you actually look through the section of the ad, the blu-rays for Totoro and Howl's actually aren't visible in the ad, and only the DVDs are, so technically it's going to be extremely YMMV to get it matched since the DVDs listed aren't even the right price to say they're the blu-ray versions.

I'm not sure what other ad you thought I was referring to, but there's only one weekly ad to my knowledge, and that's the one the stores go off of. If anything, your friend probably lucked out with the price matching, but again, it'll be YMMV to get that matched depending on the employee/manager you get for the override.

The only part you could possibly pick apart is the misleading comment they made that some of the DVD titles are available on blu, but it doesn't mention they're on sale too, or anything to that effect, but of course one can try and make an argument for it if they wanted to, but no guaranteed notice that the blus of the DVDs will also be at a sale price.

That's what I was pointing at. This ad right here, the one you have, lists the following titles in it for the sale price. So even if the site's not showing said prices anymore, you can still use this image in the site's ad to get the said items for said prices; anything that is NOT advertised for the proper format will surely not count (YMMV, as the person above pointed out).

What my friend did was he lucked out in getting the titles he did want in the ad above for the listed prices. I never said he got other titles for the same price; only the ones pictured above.

Sounds like they did a wider change of prices that they were supposed to from the ad and someone caught it then corrected it. Since Amazon is watching BB, once the prices went back up on BB, their prices went back up.

What I don't get is that Porco Rosso, Pom Poko and Tales From Earthsea were released last week. Why not just release them at $20 and generate higher release week numbers than this foolishness about $5 cheaper less than a week after release?
