Notes
- The dub was released in the United Kingdom first, on August 3, 2007. The release of the dub in North America was delayed by 3 years due to licensing issues with the SciFi Channel's miniseries adaptation of Earthsea, which prevented it from being released. It finally saw a release in U.S. theaters on August 13, 2010.
