Movie Review: Well Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical about this product due to the price, as the normal cost of these films is on par with Disney movies. So to get 12 movies for under 100 dollars seemed to good to be true. First a note regarding the package itself. There are 6 discs, 2 movies per disc, and no bonus features available. No cover art, nothing like that. They are in English but you can select Japanese language as well and subtitles are available. The disks stack on top of each other in the package, which is not ideal, but you are getting 12 movies for the price of 2-4, so what did you expect?
About the movies themselves, I have never seen a collection like this! If you are familiar with this director or Studio Ghibli movies then you know; but if not then check it out. They are amazing films with real depth and characters that make them far more than animated kids movies. There is a reason Disney bought the rights to the collection, they have universal appeal and charm. Included are all the movies you have seen and love and a few that you probably have not. There may be some missing, as Miyusaki made films that were not part of "Studio Ghibli", such as Whisper of the Heart (predecessor to The Cat Returns). Also missing is Ponyo, which is a must own but was made after this collection was produced. All in all though, this is an amazing collection of timeless movies that will entertain the entire family over and over. I see most going for under 100 dollars, considering most Ghibli movies go for 20-30 each, even if you only like 5 of the 12 movies you are getting a great deal.
This is a can't miss. FYI I bought from TeenageMutant and they shipped the same day, I had my movies by the end of the week! Stop debating it, just get it already!
