Walt Disney Studios Japan has announced the details of its December 22 Blu-ray Disc releases of Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky Laputa and My Neighbors the Yamadas film on Friday. The Laputa Blu-ray Disc will contain soundtracks in Japanese, French, German, Korean, Cantonese Chinese, and Mandarin Chinese.

The disc will also have Japanese, English, French, Korean, Traditional Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), and Finnish subtitles.
