I think they all have the options of English or Japanese with english sub, however the latest release Arrietty I know for a fact that they made one version using UK english and one with US english, these are with the UK dub since it is UK releases by Optimum. And Optimum decided to dub the movie themselves this time instead of using the Disney dub that all the other movies uses. (I prefer them with Japanese sound and subtitles) You can read about the latest dub decisions here: link

Do these copies feature English accents or are they taken from the Disney American dubs?

I usually buy these from my local importer (Outland) here in Norway.
The Optimum releases (The Studio Ghibli Collection) has both English and the original Japanese audio tracks (with English subs)
Amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, play.com and many other websites carry these. Try search for one and one title, or on sites as play.com you could just search for “Studio Ghibli Collection”.
However you should look at the pictures and make sure the line on top of the pictures are silver and not red. The red is the Disney release, the Silver is the Optimum collection releases with numbered backs. if no colored line is present it is probably an release from before Disney made Ghibli part of their studios.

I got Ocean Waves and Ponyo in my collection, I am asking for Arrietty every time I am at my importer. The Disney version is probably already out, but I want the Optimum (Studio Ghibli Collection) one with the number (18 I guess).
