Optimum to release Kiki's Delivery Service?

[Mangaminx]

While there has been no official information released as of yet, Animetion has spotted that fantasy adventure KiKi's Delivery Service is to be shown at the National Film Theatre courtesy of Optimum. KiKi's Delivery Service had previously been released in the UK by Buena Vista Home Entertainment along with another Studio Ghibli title Laputa - Castle In The Sky. These two titles were all Buena Vista released however and have since become very hard to find. Seeing as Optimum now appears to have the rights to KiKi's Delivery service at least, a re-release may hopefully be on the way.

i'll cautiously say this is very good news. the way Disney/Buena Vista handled the DVD releases left a little to be desired to say the least so i have higher hopes for Optimum. they seem to have picked up the rights to a lot of Ghibli stuff, haven't they?

Hard to find my anus, i see these 2 (plus Mononoke, which was handeled quite well) quite often in stores.

This is just people reading in to things too much.

It was on at the Cornerhouse in Manchester the week before last, but I was on holiday and couldn't see it

Methinks that just because Optimum have the cinema rights, doesn't mean they have the DVD rights.
