New Disney/Ghibli Petition Online

In response to yesterday’s news that the Disney Company has no intentions of releasing any further Studio Ghibli films in America, Kevin T. Rodriguez has organized an internet and postal mail petition and letter writing campaign to urge the Walt Disney Company to reconsider its decision.

The similar online petition and letter writing campaign to urge Disney to include a subtitled Japanese language track on the Princess Mononoke DVD gathered 10,000 signatures, national media attention, and ended successfully. This petition will need similar, if not more support to most likely be even partially effective.

As devoted supporters of anime in general and the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli in particular, AnimeNation urges readers to take a moment to read and sign the petition and write letters to the Disney mailing address provided.
