[edit] Warner Bros.

I removed Tales from Warner Bros. as they have nothing to do with this film. The worldwide distribution is being handled by Buena Vista.--nihon 06:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image upload

Hi, I was just trying to figure out how to upload a poster image for Gedo. I put the link there, but I don't know how to make the thumbnail appear on the main page, etc. thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Digitallion (talk • contribs) .

I have fixed it. Mushroom (Talk) 22:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trailer

There is no stable link so this is not appropriate for the article, but if you want to watch the trailer (and possibly write up ;), see http://www.ghibliworld.com/news.html. --Pasky 22:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US release date

Where did this date come from? I can find no references to a scheduled US release date anywhere other than here. --日本穣 03:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Per WP:CITE I have removed the date inserted of December 7, 2007. To the contributor a credible source is required before placing such speculative and far off dates in an article. Discordance 17:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I removed it again as the same anon editor put it back. I added a sentence about there being no confirmed date for the US as of yet. --日本穣 18:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
The anon editor put it back in, so I requested semi-protection to stop this annoying vandal. --日本穣 19:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks like the vandal is back. I removed the unsourced info again. --日本穣 06:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

And related, someone added a 2009 category to the film, I removed it but left a "comment" in there just in case. SkierRMH 01:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film Synopsis

The film's synopsis as received from Studio Ghibli has been posted on Ursula K. Le Guin's web site. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.252.129.187 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] "Despite the latter's disapproval"

Why would it be "despite [Hayao's] disapproval?" And who is this "Apofisu" to tell us so?

I believe that line is from information at Nausicaa.net. Finite 20:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Le Guin Reaction

I wonder how Le Guin will react to this. From the images, all characters are light-skinned ... last time that happened, with the earthsea miniseries, le Guin was not happy at all. Also, Theru doesn't appear to be the abused, disfigured child she is in the books. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.184.192.82 (talk • contribs) .

There's a link to her reaction in the External links section. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
THis description have no evidence.
"It has received mixed reviews from critics and the public, most stating that, as Goro Miyazaki's first film, it's decent, but lacks the magic of other films from Ghibli. As this was completed in half the time of Spirited Away (16 months), some thought the animation quality was stiffer and more on the basic level. The adaptation of the books went through some criticism by fans, who felt the film left important elements out and the changes to the story weren't well received, such as rendering the characters as Caucasians."--Album777 14:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
There was a concern that there was a "whitening" of the characters' skin in the making of the movie, but even Leguin herself said that the Japanese may have a different way of viewing race in animated features. The Anime article itself has a reference to that effect ([2]). ColourBurst 22:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manga

There is now also a manga, as in japanese comic book, of the film. The first issue is out in Japan (how much of the film it covers I dont know, as I havent seen the film and dont read japanese. But the pictures are beautiful! :-) It might warrant a mention in the article?

[edit] UK Release

As specified here, there will be a UK release of this film, mid 2007. http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=5696 Is there enough evidence there to add it to the wiki? Philtrauferson 14 December 2006

[edit] Licensing Issues

Shouldn't there be some mention of the US licensing issues? If there's no objection, I'd like to add it to the article with http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2006-10-17/gedo-senki-us-release-in-jeopardy as the source. -- Nyx

[edit] Critical reception

How was it received by movie critics? --Apoc2400 15:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
