Details on the movies being presented are as follows:
• Spirited Away: Airing March 18, this Oscar-winner is rich with haunting imagery and examples of the courage of the human soul. A young girl finds herself trapped in an abandoned amusement park, which becomes a surreal, mystical and frightening realm after sunset. Viz’s Spirited Away Picture Book (STAR17537E) captures all of the dark beauty in a single, gorgeous volume.
• Princess Mononoke: Screening March 25, this is the stirring story of a feral princess and her wolfen companion, leading a rebellion against the evil Lady Eboshi, whose mining operation is decimating the forest. Fans who fall in love with this Miyazaki masterpiece may want to own the Princess Mononoke DVD (STAR12418J).
• Castle in the Sky: Broadcasting April 1, this flighty fantasy finds young miner Pazu with his hands full of adventure when a young girl named Sheeta literally floats into his life, setting off a race to find the secret to the floating castle known as Laputa. Viz’s series of trade paperbacks retells the saga, beginning in the Castle in the Sky Volume 1 TP (STAR18966E).
• Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind: Showing April 8, this airborne adventure film artistically combines Miyazaki’s lifelong concern for the environment with rousing sci-fi action. Only young Nausicaa, who can communicate with the insect life around her, can restore humanity’s connection with the Earth. Viewers enthralled by this thriller may choose to buy the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Two-Disc DVD (JAN054082J) for their home libraries.
