Disney has had the North American rights to all Studio Ghibli movies for over a decade now. It's only been pressure from SG that got KiKi and Laputa released last year at the same time as Spirited Away.
Disney has been claiming that there isn't an audience and that the cost of producing the other movies for the North American audiences would be a waste of time. .
Hard to really say-- Disney though that POS of theirs ( treasure planet ) was going to be a big hit- rather than the big bomb it turned out to be- and kind of hid Spirited away under a bushel basket- until it won Best Animation last year-- then they tried to soak it for all it was worth by releasing it afterwards- now this is just an opinion-- but I'm betting they will dub and release a few more of them , because of the money there pulling in from Spirited away-- After all the dough they made from S.A- they would be stupid not to do more- I bet Walt is turning over in his grave over this !
