Without the support of John Lasseter at Pixar, I doubt Hayao Miyazaki’s animation would be as well known as it is in America. Miyazaki’s latest movie, ‘Ponyo’, looks fantastic on Blu-ray from Disney.

Obsessive tech note: This clip was converted from Blu-ray’s 24 fps to 30 fps, and from composite video to S-video,using a passive Y/C filter, so the quality suffers a bit from my usual. The subtitles read fine in HD, but they’re hard to make out here.
