Hayao Miyazaki is a pretty well known guy for his previous works. His newest work Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi looks like it will maintain his high level of quality.

Two brand spanking new Trailers were relased recently with you can check out ...(Ed. Note: apparently the site doesn't exist any more. That happens an awful lot with anime web sites, no?). Now for those of you who don't happen to speak Japanese, the lovely and wonderful Feena has taken the time to translate what was being said in the trailers for us.

Trailer 1:
[Original Idea-Screenplay-Directing : Miyazaki Hayao]
[Executive Producer - Tokuma Yasuyoshi]
[Music: Hisaishi Jô]
[Beyond the tunnel,
There was a Mysterious village.]
There's a village in such a place...?
There's nobody (here), is there?
[Chihiro's "Power to live" that was sleeping
Is gradually awakening]
[Chihiro: Hiiragi Rumi]
It's a dream! It has to be a dream!
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi
Dad, let's go home!
Let's go home, dad!
Distributed on Touhou theatre networks in July.

Trailer 2:
Come on!
[Beyond the tunnel,
There was a Mysterious village.]
[Original Idea-Screenplay-Directing : Miyazaki Hayao]
[Music: Hisaishi Jô]
Please make me work here!
Mmh... So your name is Chihiro.
Isn't that a luxurious name.
From now on, your name is 'Sen'.
If you understand that, I will help you... Sen!
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi
Distributed on Touhou theatre networks in July.

A couple of interesting tidbits in there. With a July release date in Japan let's hope it's not too long before seeing a US and European Date. Let's also hope that we will see another theatrical run like we did for Mononoke Hime (minus the Disney dub)!
