If you are a die-hard fan of Princess Mononoke, then you better start saving up. A special home release of the Studio Ghibli film is going live this May, and pre-orders for the bundle have gone live.

Recently, Shout! Factory confirmed pre-sales for Princess Mononoke were underway, and fans can check out the deal here. The special Collector's Edition set is on sale for $45 compared to its usual $50 price tag, and the bundle comes with plenty.

"This limited-edition set comes housed in an elegant hard slipcase and includes a new 40-page book with stunning art and essays. Featured in a deluxe disc portfolio is a Blu-ray of the film paired with hours of special features, and the film's soundtrack made available on CD for the first time in North America," the product's description reads.

According to the blurb, this bundle will also come with a 40-page book filled with essays by noted film critic Glenn Kenny on the movie. The book will also house artwork, poems, and comments from director Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki.

The bundle will feature three languages, giving fans the chance to listen to either English, French, or Japanese. Princess Mononoke's bundle is set to go on sale May 14, but pre-orders for its DVD and Blu-ray are open now.
