The UK release was a bit later than the rest of the planet: Japan in mid-2013 (where it was the highest-grossing film of the year), US for a week in November 2013 so it could qualify for the Academy Awards followed by a general release in early 2014. The English dub includes Werner Hertzog and Elijah Wood but the Japanese original with subtitles is still the best way of viewing the movie.
Another movie with the same director, producer, screenwriter and composer is Porco Ross.
