I'm wanting to watch it asap, but don't know where. When are the subbed/dubbed versions going to be released?

Here in Italy Miyazaki is very famous. Also the videogame Ni No Kuni produced by Studio Ghibli was popular and had advertisements on television.

Camrip? Eh, I'll wait for the HD subbed version. Me no like shaky cam.

Sadly, those of us waiting for subs have to wait 5 months or longer to see this movie. ;__ ;

Nice, although I wish it were someone else getting this attention. Miyazaki has already been lauded by the west enough and doesn't really need the publicity.

Congrats to Hayao Miyazaki.
