That's what I'm thinking. I'd like to see this dubbed and released here.

This entails that a PAL transfer now exists. From this, one assumes a local release will be inevitable. Ghibli is seemingly the only studio whose works are easier to obtain in my country than in R1.

Ah, so Disney hasn't snatched this one up yet. That was just what I was about to ask...

Rock on Madman! Happy to see the licensing arrangements for Ghibli work is still being done outside of Disney's domain. Still I'd hope that by the time it comes out Disney's dub will come out in theaters here too. Not because I'll watch it personally but because it increases exposure.

The Ghibli license holder in my country, whose releases seem to dominate all others on high-street anime shelves, have been enjoying great success without Disney's help for quite some time. Ghibli films are even shown on daytime terrestrial television. (This is not to say that I am partial to such diversions though. Such films have become less pleasing to mine eye since first I became acquainted therewith.)
