Ghibli's anime "Ocean Waves" ("Umi ga kikoeru") has been released for the first time ever in North American theaters. The 1993 television special never received a home video release, either, but now that Walt Disney has included it in its international distribution deal, it will probably get a DVD release, once it finishes its select theater run, which is scheduled between December 28, 2016 and March 10, 2017.
Directed by Tomomi Mochizuki, the film features the voices of Nobuo Tobita, Toshihiko Seki, Yoko Sakamoto, Kae Araki and Yuri Amano.
