   Unfortunately, the agreement doesn't extend to the UK, where Ghibli movies   
   are distributed by another company. This company doesn't cut, but it   
   dubtitles purely for the hard of hearing, so you cannot rely on the   
   accuracy of the subtitle any more than with the dub. That's why I bought   
   the Miramax released Mononoke Hime when it came out. I hope to do the same   
   with the other Ghibli releases as soon as my finances are better.
