Special Features:
  • Feature-Length Storyboards (119:15) present "Only Yesterday" in its raw form, with both Japanese and English-language audio tracks.
  • Making Of (46:10, SD) BTS exploration produced for Japanese television in 1991, covering the production process for "Only Yesterday," focusing on the relationship between producer Hayao Miyazaki and director Isao Takahata. Longtime friends, partners, and rivals, the animation kings electrified the animation world in 1988 with the releases of "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies." Now the pressure's on to follow up their hits, finding "Only Yesterday" plagued by production delays, requiring heavy work from Takahata and his team of animators, while Miyazaki tries to keep the business side stable, protecting creative interests. Most aspects of craftsmanship are covered (including a field trip to a safflower farm), painting a portrait of the animation process.
  • "Behind the Scenes with the Voice Cast" (7:44, HD) collects interviews with Daisy Ridley, Dev Patel, and Ashley Eckstein. Discussing character and interpretation issues, the trio also shares their admiration for the material.
  • "Interview with the English Dub Team" (16:31, HD) highlights a post-screening discussion of "Only Yesterday" with actress Eckstein, producer Geoffrey Wexler, English-language screenwriter David Freedman, and director Jamie Simone. Approaching what was once considered an "undubable" movie, the group discusses what was needed to bring the picture to America, and why it took so long to do it.
  • Foreign Trailers and TV Spots (7:30, HD) collect four pieces of Japanese promotion, including teaser trailers.
  • Theatrical Trailer (1:46, HD)
