I've only seen bits and pieces over the years because Cartoon Network keeps airing it. No idea why..
Doug's doing Disneycember again & this year, he's doing Studio Ghibli films, along with overlooked Disney classics. First up is Nausicca.
Most of them, yes. They also handle the dubs. There's only a few that either Disney doesn't have or haven't been dubbed. Grave of the Fireflies was originally Central Park Media, then ADV, & now Sentai Filmworks. Only Yesterday is pretty much the only Ghibli film NOT released in the US. A company called GKIDS has the rights to From Up on Poppy Hill & Tale of the Princess Kaguya, it seems.Are Ghibli films published by disney overseas? Cause I was never aware of that.
I do. I saw it on TV as a kid. I think I enjoyed it but all I remember is that he worked for a refrigerator moving company for the summer.What's strange is that there actually was a sequel to A Christmas Story before this. "My Summer Story" or "It Runs in the Family". But nobody knows it exists so we got "A Christmas Story 2"

Oh boy! I wonder what the theme will be.THEME MONTH!
a lot of truth
I have a question that was brought up recently when I saw a review or something with that clip in it (Where she first wakes up above water with legs) and I swear when I was a kid she was topless. But the review showed a bra. Did they edit that or something? We had the VHS. Maybe I'm crazy. Though it is Disney and they are known for editing the risqué stuff that snuck by out of later versions.Then again, I shouldn't be too surprised. The Little Mermaid and Mulan both had tasteful nudity in G rated movies.

I don't remember if I saw the theatrical release but i'm fairly certain that she's just bottomless.
Mulan though? Unless they changed things later on she's completely nude but you don't see anything because she is covered by water. It's sort of like princess peach in paper mario the thousand year door, nothing is shown.
Yeah, it was like 27 years ago. All I knew was my child mind saw something and it blew my mind. I literally haven't seen the movie in years. I guess it was the bottom I was thinking of. I assume there's a rock or something in that cel that was in the way. I was probably thinking in my child mind "What if that rock wasn't there?" mind blown. lolAriel's signature outfit is her shell bikini top, but she doesn't have a shell bikini bottom, because of her tail. When she lost her tail and gained legs, she became effectively bottomless. There was no reason for her to lose her top.
Disney used "convenient censorship" (there's always something blocking your view) to avoid showing her lower half until she found some clothes. And people with access to animation cels were able to prove that she really was bottomless, offscreen. http://i.imgur.com/ZGqLLIz.jpg (Disney cares about accuracy.)
You're not crazy though, the tease of the scene just blew a few circuits in your brain. It's like the shower scene in Psycho. Some audiences (and censors) swore up and down that they had seen naughty bits (the actress was covered, and the film was edited frame-by-frame so you don't see the coverings) and gore (nobody was stabbed in the making of the movie), while others were certain that the blood was red (it was chocolate syrup, filmed in black-and-white).

Where does the Lupin III movie factor in? Is that tied up in license issues and thus unlikely to be released on bluray in NA.
Castle of Cagliostro? It's getting a Blu-Ray release in North America in 2015 from Discotek Media.
Edit: Wow, thought I clicked on the Ghibli thread for some reason. Well, either way, there's your answer. Buy it when it comes out, the film is wonderful.
At one point she was sick or something. But I don't know what her status is right now. I really miss her reviews. A lot of the time I enjoyed them more than Doug's. She was the yin to his yang, or whatever. While he was the angry geek reviewer she was the more calculating concise reviewer.is nostalgia chick on hiatus?
