Ponyo: English Subtitled Hong Kong Release in January

Posted on January 16, 2010 at 12:39 by Ulrik.Tweet this

Probably good news for those among us who finally want to see Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea in high definition without waiting for a local Blu-ray Disc release (March 2nd for the USA, June 6th for the UK) our paying the premium price for the mighty fine Japanese Blu-ray Disc.
Intercontinental Video Ltd. (IVL) has announced a lower priced Hong Kong Blu-ray Disc release for January 26, 2010 that won't have Disney's English dub but English subtitles and the original Japanese language track. According to IVL the disc will also include over four hours of bonus material but only with Chinese subtitles.
IVL has always been a great resource for Studio Ghibli fans worldwide during the DVD age since their releases were always on-par with the more expensive Japanese releases.
YesAsia lists the release as Region A, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Since IVL is the exclusive distributor for Disney titles in the area, they probably have to follow their guidelines when it comes to region coding which Disney uses a lot for newer releases.
