bother, said Pooh

Unfortunately, Ster Kinekor have no plans currently to release Howl's Moving Castle, although they're going to query it with head office. (Response time: 22 minutes. They're getting even better). In retrospect, in fact Spirited Away was released by Nu Metro, not Ster Kinekor, so they may do this one as well. Have mailed them. Their response time is not as fast as Ster-Kinekor, it's been an hour already and no go!

Edited to add: Ster-Kinekor head office has responded - no plans to put Moving Castle on the line-up, but they may release it later. Which I suspect means next year sometime, if we're lucky. Sigh. Help us, Nu Metro, you are our only hope!

starmadeshadow and I watched Howl's Moving Castle on Saturday. :)

It's very Studio Ghibli. Definitely worth watching, although one reviewer said it wasn't very true to the book (which I haven't read).

I am not jealous at all in any way, oh no, uh-uh. Bastards. I suspect I'll be seeing this one on DVD. Sigh.

[livejournal.com profile] starmadeshadow should have read the book, she's been plugged into my Diana Wynne Jones collection for several years - what did she think?
