Sigh, I guess I can only WISH that something like this would be recorded for posterity...  And the internet...

I wonder if the Disney marketing machine will actually rally to properly market a Miyazaki film this time around or bury it the way they have in the past by opening the film in a very limited number of theaters and treating it like a small "art house" film (completely ignoring that in Japan these films are major event blockbusters).  It's an odd arrangement:  the Mouse buys up the North American distribution rights to Miyazaki's wonderful films, but then acts like they don't actually want to make money by only half-heartedly promoting these fantastic films to American audiences.
