Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Walt Disney Company acquired the US distribution rights from Studio Ghibli-Tokuma as part of a more comprehensive rights agreement. Disney decided it would not release Only Yesterday in the US due to references to menstruation in the film. A clause in Studio Ghibli's distribution contract prohibited Disney from altering the scene to remove the references. GKIDS has since acquired the rights from Disney and Ghibli, and released an English dubbed version that was distributed by Universal Pictures, making this the first Studio Ghibli film to be dubbed into English by Universal Pictures.
