Paul, to answer your question, there should be four Animaniacs sets and three sets of Pinky and the Brain. Volume Two of both Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain will be released in December.

I just got off the phone with Warner Home Video- it was obvious that the fellow on the phone didn't speak English as a first language, but everything went smoothly. She thought I was a woman (many people do- I have a high pitched voice), but other than that, there were no problems. She thought...

There are two subtitle tracks on this DVD, just as there has been for all of Disney's Ghibli DVDs. (I didn't check the tracks for Howl's unfortunately, and just put it back in the Netflix envelope- d'oh!) I looked at the menus for Howl's, though, and the first one is labeled "Closed Captioning...
