The Nausicaa bluray has this special feature called 'The World of Ghibli', which is an animated "interactive" map featuring characters from all of Ghibli's films (it's kind of strange, really - no clue why the Yamadas are apparently living in Earthsea). Only a small handful of them are actually selectable - Nausicaa and Ponyo, and then what I think is safe to say are the next few Ghibli blus we're likely to get, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service and Laputa: Castle in the Sky. The Laputa footage looked pretty rough still but the material for Totoro and Kiki were clearly full 1080p. No official announcements, but it seems like a pretty decent indicator to me.

I was really hoping Princess Mononoke would be right around the corner, but I guess they're holding on to that one for a while longer.

"You're the best looking guy here."
Actually japan got a Laputa release in December, comparisons here:

It looks like they might be going in the order of the year the film was released? Although I haven't been able to find any news on the next blu ray ghibli after Laputa.

This is pretty weird. The Tron Legacy blu-ray has aspect ratio changes for no apparent reason since it wasn't shot in IMAX.

There were 5 IMAX sequences with a different aspect ratio but they were shot with a different 3D camera.

To be honest, when the ratio changes in The Dark Knight, it's annoying. Call me spergy, but I'd like the option to turn that off. It doesn't add anything, it's just distracting.

This is insane. The ABC HD screenshots look gorgeous, even if a bit soft due to broadcast compression. The Ten Commandments was shot in VistaVision, so it'll already have finer grain and sharpness over a regular 35mm film.

Did you guys see the post by the OP in that thread on page 2? Apparently the guy had some goofy video card settings and those screencaps are less than accurate.

EDIT: Haha I just noticed he apologizes to Paramount in the OP. I wonder if they would try to sue his rear end if they could somehow prove he damaged their sales with false claims.
