CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

My sister's favourite anime movie is an adaptation of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake. We've always loved it and I'd like to purchase it for her as a gift (sometime) but I can't find it anywhere. It was released on VHS ages ago and isn't available anymore. Or at least in the US.

Does anyone know where I can find it on DVD or VHS? Is there any English-language websites specializing in Anime DVDs published in Japan?

And please don't say Ebay or anything similar. Ebay doesn't work for me...mostly because it doesn't deliver outside of North America (or because items are sometimes only available in the US for purchase and international shipping is complicated for the seller).

Here is a fan-site but he seems to offer pirate copies so I wont bite.

Swan Lake

I'm guessing it's been discontinued. The animation looks very 80's.

Have you e-mailed the person at the bottom of the page? You're probably right about the pirate thing, but you might as well e-mail her. She might know something we don't.

I think I saw the last fifteen minutes of this movie one Sunday afternoon. You might want to give Amazon a shot if you haven't already. You never know what you may find there. I'm in the States so I can only imagine your predicament. I'll do some research and see if I can be of more help.

Hmmm. I found a possible DVD on Ebay but its for US only (oh how I hate that 'Bay) and some on Amazon.com going for $54 which mighty expensive for me. But its bound to get released sooner or later.

I think I saw this on cable TV a loooong time ago. I've been wanting to find it again ever since, so if anyone finds it, let me know!

E-mail the seller and see if you can arrange something. Often people on ebay will work with you if you start "negotiations" soon enough.

Thanks for all the help. (and I'm not sarcastic )
