I just watched the stunning and tragic Grave of the Fireflies (1988). The Bluray transfer is excellent and the new English dub is sublime. For fans of Studio Ghibli it's great to get both in one package. If you haven't seen it or you were waiting for a good quality conversion, now's the time to get this classic film.
I understand why Disney never picked up Fireflies for the US. Outside of licensing issues it's just not a Disney film. There really is no way to translate the horrors of war into a family theme park. Those licensing issues are why we're getting it at all in the US. Disney has had two Ghibli films locked up and unreleased for over a decade.
