Wonder what would these movies be without that John Lasseter introduction.
MIYAZAKI SAN-THE WORLD. THE WORLD-MIYAZAKI SAN.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of features. I'll track down the Japanese edition, there's bound to be more, if the Japanese edition of Ponyo is any indication.
I remember laughing pretty hard when I hit play on my Spirited Away DVD and I got him going "YOU, ARE, LUCKY."
• Disc introduction by John Lasseter.
Basically, John covers two things. It's his favorite Miyazaki film, and it's wonderful. And to spoiler all the other introductions, he says the same exact thing.
