Whisper of the Heart
"Whisper of the Heart" was the first Japanese film to use the Dolby Digital sound format. An English dub of this film was released by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on March 7, 2006. Turner Classic Movies televised both the dubbed and subbed versions on January 19, 2006 as part of their month-long celebration of Miyazaki in honor of his birthday, January 5. The English title, "Whisper of the Heart", was created by Studio Ghibli and used on several officially licensed "character goods" released around the same time as the film was released in theaters in Japan. The North American Blu-ray was released on May 22, 2012, alongside "Castle in the Sky" and "The Secret World of Arrietty". GKIDS re-issued the movie on Blu-ray & DVD on January 16, 2018 under a new deal with Studio Ghibli.
