An exciting announcement from Disney today has given us new details on the latest collection of Studio Ghibli films being released on DVD and Blu-ray. The new set will be released on December 1st and will feature the original Ghiblies short film on disc for the first time ever. As the short has never been screened outside of Japan, this makes it all the more exciting for fans to get their hands on it!
The new set exclusively features Ghibli films not made by either Hayao Miyazaki or Isao Takahata, the founders of the legendary anime studio. Check out how it looks below!

- Ocean Waves by Tomomi Mochizuki (1993)
