Title Best
Cat Returns, The (Neko No Ongaeshi) (Studio Ghibli Collection)R2J
    The Region 2 NTSC release of July 2003 from Buena Vista (Japan) includes the following:
  • Two Disc set
  • An additional Making Of documentary (not subtitled)
  • Animated short Ghiblies Episode 2 (with alternate angle storyboards and English subtitles)
  • Japanese dts audio
  • Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0 audio
  • Subtitles in Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese

    The Region 1 two-disc set includes a French dub but misses out on the Dolby Digital 5.1 mixes. English, French and Japanese soundtracks are all presented in Dolby Surround 2.0. One interesting feature they do have however, is a featurette titled Behind the Microphone (8:58), introducing the English cast and showing them in the studio.

    I would like to recommend the Japanese package, however the making of documentaries aren't subtitled. A cheap Hong Kong version of the Japanese release is available, but I'm not certain of its contents.
