Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Brian ★★★★★

The special features are a real treat for Ghibli fans, with the storyboards giving you a whole new appreciation for Miyazaki's process. I watched the Blu-ray twice in one weekend, and the colors in that dreamlike tower sequence just pop off the screen.

Jason K. ★★★★★

The 4K transfer is absolutely stunning—the watercolors and textures pop like I’m seeing the film fresh in theaters again. The included Blu-ray and DVD make it easy to share with family who don’t have a 4K player yet, which sealed the deal for me.

Adam ★★★★★

The special features alone are worth it—the storyboard-to-film comparisons let you see exactly how Miyazaki’s vision came together. My kids and I have watched the Japanese track with subtitles twice, and the sound mix really pulls you into that eerie, beautiful world.
