The world of Hayao Miyazaki will be hitting homes across North America in a truly epic package.

The full film list is as follows:

- Castle in the Sky
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Kiki’s Delivery Service
- Porco Rosso

- Spirited Away
- Howl’s Moving Castle
- Ponyo
- The Wind Rises.
Extra features will include:
- Yuki no Taiyo (Yuki’s Sun), a 1972 TV pilot based on Tetsuya Chiba’s manga of the same name, and Miyazaki’s directorial début
- Episodes 26, 27, and 41 of 1972 anime series Akado Suzunosuk (Little Samurai)

Similar sets were released in Japan and Australia (via Madman Entertainment).
Notably missing from the North American set is the music video for On Your Mark by Chage and Aska. The feature was conceived, written, and directed by Miyazaki. this was originally planned for the Japanese set, though it was ultimately pulled when band member Chage was arrested for drug possession. The extra was shipped to customers on a bonus DVD after the fact.
