Japanese Disney DVD's

Postby 8gatsu3 » November 1st, 2007 5:23 pm

Hi!
Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of Japanese Disney DVD's? Amazon has the ones I'm after (Mainly Pinocchio, Lion King and Aladdin), but the sellers don't deliver to UK it seems.)
Anyone have any suggestions?
I've also tried play-asia.com, yesasia.com, hmv.co.jp.. as well as a few others.

Thanks alot for any help!

Are there any decent-sized Japanese communities in your area?

I'd recommend trying to find some Japanese anime (Hayao Miyazaki is popular), rather than Disney. Watching dubbed movies is annoying (though better in animated movies) and some things just don't translate well.

No.. I don't know of Japanese communities anywhere near me ^_^ haha
Yeah, I really like anime, I would like the Disney DVD's really though- partly for the songs, partly for the Japanese language practice, and partly because the English language DVD's are pretty expensive here as they're no longer made. The Japanese versions have both English and Japanese voices so I'd have it in English too.
I do really enjoy Japanese anime, I have a few and intend to get more. :)
Thanks alot ^_^

I bought Hercules in Japanese for £15 from yesasia.com. It's a good deal since it has the English audio on as well as the Japanese and costs exactly the same, and in some cases, less, than I've seen it in the UK.
They have a few but not as huge selection.

I've not tried it but maybe Amazon Japan ships to the UK. They certainly ship from the UK to Japan.
