Out This Week: Millennium Actress, Castle Of Cagliostro, Batman: Soul Of The Dragon and More

Among this week's new releases, two of Japanese animation's best-regarded films arrive on 4K, one on each side of the pond. UK readers can pick up Anime Limited's special collector's edition of Satoshi Kon's 2001 feature Millennium Actress, including both the 4K and Blu-Ray versions (a standard Blu-Ray version is also available). Stateside collectors can add to their collection Discotek's 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition 4K of Hayao Miyazaki's feature debut The Castle Of Cagliostro. The pair are joined by the usual selection of anime, plus in the USA the latest Batman animation and in the UK the twisted double-feature of Japanese 'Geki-mation'   filmmaker Ujicha. The latter is produced not using traditional animation but by combining paper puppets manipulated in real-time with in-camera effects to memorable effect- but the content of the films themselves is not for the faint of heart.

UK readers: Dazzler Media have given us a copy of their film The Wacky Hen to give away to keep the kids entertained during lockdown. Enter via Twitter here
