Since any other Miyazaki thread that exited in this forum has long since disappeared I'm starting a new one - and, since it's obvious that polls don't get eaten and disappeared like other vulnerable threads here I've made it a rather straightforward poll (I love them all, and my preference is often simply the last one I watched, but Porco is most consistently my favorite).
So... in terms of news: Goro Miyazaki's latest film in Japan was apparently a big hit, the Ghibli version of The Borrowers will finally arrive on our shores soon, Miyazaki's next film is somewhere on the horizon, and I got the Nausicaa Blu-Ray for Christmas and it's awesome (that one's a bit more personal).
But one of the coolest bits of recent news is about US distribution: Disney retains the home video rights, but upstart distributor GKids has negotiated for the theatrical rights to most of the Ghibli films and will apparently make a big push for film festivals and limited releases. Their maiden voyage, a Ghibli Retrospective in NYC, is a big hit:

I really like Kiki's Delivery Service, since it's cute & heartwarming.
I have the older DVD release that still has all the adlibs by the awesome Phill Hartman (RIP). The more recent DVD apparently took out quite a bit of the adlibs by him (as well as Guraffalo & Andy Dick). They also took out the fun "Soaring" song by Sydney Forest (and the ending song by her as well).
They did it to attempt to match the "mood" of the Japanese version, but since it was Phill's last role ever I think they should have left it alone.
I also heard that the sound mix is off on the new DVD.
