I have started a short Indonesian version of this article at http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea - I just need to be bothered translating a plot summary and it'll be about as big as the Spirited Away article on there ;) .:Stirb Nicht Vor Mir:. 11:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I removed Tales from Warner Bros. as they have nothing to do with this film. The worldwide distribution is being handled by Buena Vista.-- nihon 06:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was just trying to figure out how to upload a poster image for Gedo. I put the link there, but I don't know how to make the thumbnail appear on the main page, etc. thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Digitallion ( talk • contribs) .
There is no stable link so this is not appropriate for the article, but if you want to watch the trailer (and possibly write up ;), see http://www.ghibliworld.com/news.html. -- Pasky 22:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Where did this date come from? I can find no references to a scheduled US release date anywhere other than here. -- 日本穣 03:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Looks like the vandal is back. I removed the unsourced info again. -- 日本穣 06:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
It seems that DVD will be out next week -

This is kind of crazy......it seems unfair that all the world has got this movie except England. Why is this? Doesn't it seem unfair that all the Ghibli fans in England want to see this movie too but cant... does anyone know the British release date? _matt_
The film's synopsis as received from Studio Ghibli has been posted on Ursula K. Le Guin's web site. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.252.129.187 ( talk • contribs) .
Why would it be "despite [Hayao's] disapproval?" And who is this "Apofisu" to tell us so?
I wonder how Le Guin will react to this. From the images, all characters are light-skinned ... last time that happened, with the earthsea miniseries, le Guin was not happy at all. Also, Theru doesn't appear to be the abused, disfigured child she is in the books. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.184.192.82 ( talk • contribs) .
There is now also a manga, as in japanese comic book, of the film. The first issue is out in Japan (how much of the film it covers I dont know, as I havent seen the film and dont read japanese. But the pictures are beautiful! :-) It might warrant a mention in the article?
As specified here, there will be a UK release of this film, mid 2007. http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=5696 Is there enough evidence there to add it to the wiki? Philtrauferson 14 December 2006
Shouldn't there be some mention of the US licensing issues? If there's no objection, I'd like to add it to the article with http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2006-10-17/gedo-senki-us-release-in-jeopardy as the source. -- Nyx
How was it received by movie critics? -- Apoc2400 15:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Gedo6sn.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 10:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
There should be a correction to the plot summary.

I cant believe a critic said that? anyone know the citation to that? Is he completely ignorant of anime in general and works of say Studio Ghibli? id like to see a context for something appearing to be the most nonsensical critical reaction I could imagine. -- 78.3.12.98 10:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Cob is referred to as a man in the summary and I know that in the translation (at least the one that I have seen) Cob is referred to as a man as well. However, the character design seems to be distinctly female as well as the voice. Could there be a mistake in the translation or is Cob just a very feminine man? If anyone could please address this - this will seriously keep me up at night. Thanks ShadowedBlade 01:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I accidentally did a Freudian slip. I meant to say the English version's official site said Disney, but I somehow screwed up and said PG-13 instead of Disney. Sorry! -- Ryanasaurus007 ( talk) 00:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
He's changing the distributor back to Touchstone when in fact it is Disney that's distributing the film. Didn't he read the English official site? -- Ryanasaurus007 ( talk) 02:52, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

This needs some attention - it's an unformatted list of bullet points - with no references to what the awards mean, or the presence of any of them on Wikipedia, or anything. There's not even any source verification for them.

Could someone provide some context for the "Worst Director" bits since they don't link to anything to explain what that means / why it's in quotes. Is the reward like "break a leg" or what? Because Japan puts out a ton of crap and obviously this is not the worst of the lot by any stretch of the imagination, in fact it's not even bad by Ghibli standards. I can see how fans of the books might be confused, but the Japanese name is not even "Earthsea" and it's not like Howl's Castle is probably comparable to the books it was based upon either. Ghibli is probably more interested in making money than faithfully reproducing a more or less obscure series of books (certainly in comparison to a Ghibli production however you slice it)
Anyway, I thought the message for the kids was more spot on than most Ghibli morality tales. It really speaks to an absence of integrity and decency in normative culture, and how ultimately that relates to conservationism, qualitative progress, or whatever.-- 99.197.224.57 ( talk) 07:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
the movie is simply a new story set after the events of the four novels. The description makes it appear that the story is some kind of mashup, when in fact all continuity is maintained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.255.207 ( talk) 16:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
FTA: The critical reception in Japan was also very mixed. By the end of the year of its release, Tales from Earthsea was awarded "Worst Movie" in the Bunshun Raspberry Awards, with director Goro Miyazaki being given the "Worst Director" award.
That is not the characterisation of a ‘mixed’ reception. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 ( talk) 01:43, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Genius requires some arrogance, so while Tales from Earthsea isn't faithful to LeGuin's stories, it makes a great movie when the stories might not otherwise. Shockingly loving treatment of the subject. Where the article says "Cob blackmails Arren", it seems like Cob has poisoned Arren, who will die if he does not reveal his true name; using "blackmail" is awkward in English, where "duress" or even "force/compel" with murder imminent. I speak so little Japanese that I may have misunderstood the scene. 68.151.108.107 ( talk) 05:53, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
