That would be the 2nd film, Unico in the Island of Magic, which is delightfully effed-up and seriously one of my all-time favorite movies. Color me STOKED. |

FINALLY!!!! YES!! It's about DAMN TIME!! This is great news. I'd been wondering when these films were going to be released. I remember some mention of a possible license. The question was who was going to do it. Thanks to this piece now I know who. Definitely will be recommending this once it's released. Not to mention purchasing a copy for myself. I'm building a classic anime collection at this time. So I've already picked up many of the earlier releases (ie, Taro the Dragon Boy, Animal Treasure Island, Sea Prince..., etc, etc...). So cannot wait for this.
Great JOB Discotek!!

The Island of magic WAS a very creepy movie when I was a kid. I remember the villain being this floating ball with a head and his dubbed voice was super creepy with a high pitched sinister laugh. Im sure when I see it again it will not be scary at all.
I remember seeing both movies on the Disney Channel back in the day. ohh memories.

Yay!! I'll definitely pick up Unico when it's released. I hope Discotek releases other old anime as well. I remember watching Ringing Bell when I was little, my dad rented it and I watched it, the scene I clearly remember as a child was what happened to Chirin's mother.
Other anime hopes Discotek will release: Ringing Bell The Mouse and His Child A Journey Through Fairyland Horus, Prince of the Sun Magic Boy Swan Lake Alakazam The Great! Nobody's Boy Remi The Amazing 3 Jack and the Witch Attack No. 1 Flying Phantom Ship Adventures of Hutch the Honeybee Triton of the Sea Aim for the Ace! Heidi, Girl of the Alps Jack and the Beanstalk (1974 film) Maya the Bee Belle and Sebastian Future Boy Conan Rose of Versailles Undersea Super Train: Marine Express Cyborg 009: Legend of the Super Galaxy (I would like a redub, the old one is horrible  )

Don't forget to add Dog of Flanders to that list too! I'll be SUPER happy if they license that!
Also, I kinda doubt Heidi will get licensed. As much as I'd LOVE for WMT anime to be licensed, it doesn't look like it'll happen any time soon, though I would love it if I was proven wrong on this. |

Jack and the Beanstalk (1974) is available with the Japanese language version and English dubtitles (and the English dub) from Hen's Tooth Video, I think it was cropped to 4:3 and the print could do with cleaning up, but it's a decent release compared to that recieved by many other older anime aimed at kids. The other two can be imported from the u.k., though obviously that doesn't help much if you don't have a multi-region player (not to mention the potential PAL/NTSC issue). |

If you have VLC player you can watch region 2 discs on your computer and it even plays PAL, just make sure you have the latest version. I got Hols: Prince of the Sun (under the title A Little Norse Prince) that way and was able to watch it, it is UK region 2 PAL.
