It looks like Madman Ent's next to BD releases are Arrietty and My Neighbor Totoro.

[WTK]

via The Otaku's Study (in regards to the upcoming Arrietty release; should be November '12)

I am able to confirm that this release will feature all three dubs released for the film – the original Japanese dub, the UK dub which was included in the original Theatrical and Home Video release in Australia and the latest US dub released this year. In addition (Although with no specifics), there may be a few new additions to the discs extra content – possibly in relation to the US release.
