what’s interesting about the princess mononoke dvd hubbub is a point that bill hunt touches on, but doesn’t really hit upon. he says that there’s an uproar on how the dvd won’t have the original soundtrack, which no one would expect w/ a vhs tape, but would rather simply buy the import for, but fails to mention that because of dvd’s region encoding, it’s way harder to purchase and play an import dvd than a vhs. so, really, fans should be demanding more from buena vista because they, the movie studios decided that region encoding would be such a great idea in the first place.
