I/n addition to Zero we also hold the North American rights to these 
titles:/


/*Animal Treasure Island:
 *This will be our next title released in November. It's a classic anime 
film based on the original Treasure Island story. It featured key 
animation from Hayao Miyazaki in his younger days and is a very fun 
film. You can definitely see the Miyazaki influence in a lot of the 
characters. Anyone can watch this and get a kick out of it. Anamorphic 
widescreen in it's 2:35:1 ratio. /

/L*upin the 3rd Live action:*/
/The first ever Lupin film based on Monkey Punch's manga and he wrote 
the story. it was produced by Toho. it was released in 1974 and in my 
opinion an excellent live action take on Lupin. Fujiko is very 
attractive and there are lots of little gags. The disc will be 
anamorphic and the same quality as Toho's remastered disc they put out 
in Japan last year./

/*Taro the Dragon Boy:*
 This is another anime film from 1979. It shares alot of similarities to 
Studio Ghibli titles. It's based on ancient folklore and has very 
beautiful animation and colors. This was released on TV and home video 
in the United States in the 80's. There's never been a DVD anywhere and 
we telecined a new print. It's 2:35:1 anamorphic. /

/*Burst City:*
 Im sure most people here have heard or know of Burst City. it's got an 
excellent write up on Midnight Eye, and I think it's a fantastic film. 
We are going to have the same release as the Japanese region 2, 
anamorphic and remastered. I am also planning a special boxset for this 
title similar to the Red handcuffs release. I can't wait to get started 
on this one. Should be out sometime in the first half of 06./

/*Puss in Boots:*
 This is the classic anime film based on the story of the same name. 
Also worked on by Hayao Miyazaki. this is a great film and perfect for 
all ages. This film, Taro, and Treasure Island will also have the 
English dubbed versions included./

*/War in Space;/*
/Classic Toho sci fi film, features the dub and subtitled versions. if 
you like mysterians then you will definitely like this film. It never 
got a release on video in the US even though it was shown on TV many times./

*/Bye Bye Jupiter:/*
/This is an early 80's Toho scifi film that was made around the time as 
2010. It features dubbed and subtitled versions. It was very successful 
in Japan. It's got some excellent special effects, and some very bizarre 
scenes including a floating makeout scene, a guitar playing hippie and 
his dolphin, a shark attack, lots of laser fights and even some Godzilla 
action. /

*/*Robokill Beneath the discoclub layla*:/
/This was a V-cinema title. It has director Kiyoshi Kurosawa in it in 
one of his few acting jobs. it's about a WW2 robot that was left over 
from the war and comes to life in early 90's Tokyo below a dance club 
and goes on a rampage./
*
/Lupin the 3rd Legend of Gold Babylon:/*
/This is one of the Lupin anime titles that has yet to get a DVD release 
in the US. It's one of the theatrical films the video was released as 
Rupan by animeigo in the early 90's. Excellent film and it of course 
will be widescreen and it's going to have dub as well as the Japanese 
version./
