Comment Disney picked the wrong film to release (Score 1) 170
So if Disney was thinking about family friendly materials, why did they not simply release 'Castle in the Sky' instead? Sure, we know there is that problem with the original title 'Laputa - Castle in the Sky' and that the word 'Laputa' appears a few times in the film, but this is probably the most family friendly, heart warming of all Miyazaki films that would've, in my opinion, done extremely well in the States... There isn't too much of a cultural gap and the characters can be easily related to by all.
Anyways, I just hope Disney doesn't just hold the rights tightly in their grip and not let others pick up the film for a release, guess the other thing to do will be to write to Disney and complain.
