Studio Ghibli have posted a new trailer for Gedo Senki (Tales of Earth Sea) along with the news that the animation for the movie is now 96% finished (Japanese theatrical release is set for this summer).
 
The movie was completed on the 23rd of May.

Worth noting that both Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away took twice as long to create (16/17 months versus 8). This suggests that Earthsea is more of a Cat Returns-like stop-gap between Howl and the next big thing, presumeably whatever Hayao Miyazaki is supposed to working on right now.
 
Unless other directors just work quicker than ol' Hayao. :)
How long did the Takahata features take to produce, and Whisper of the Heart?
