Without a doubt, Myazaki's eco-eschatology drama is one of the best animes of all time and received numerous awards. Unfortunately, the first Disney version, which was the only available English version for a long time, was about 22 minutes shorter than the original. This version has been released e.g. on VHS in the USA, the UK and even Germany and France.
Currently, all DVDs released worldwide by Disney contains the original uncut Japanese version.
