Maybe for Spirited Away, but Princess Mononoke was unwatchable with the dubbing... absolute shitstorm.

I think the best of all the Ghibli dubs I've seen was probably Laputa. Maybe it's just cuz I'm in love with Anna Paquin's voice/accent.

The end, only? I cried all the way through that sucker, even during the happy parts. It's one of a few movies that can totally reduce me to ... I dunno. I think it's Miyazaki's gentleness that does it. I find the experience of watching any of his movies the same as sitting on my grandfather's knee and being told a really odd story. I'm ecstatic about Nausicaa, which I'll finally see tonight.

Right -- you know how it ends with the family returning to the car and everything's overgrown, like they haven't been back in months or years? Parents are befuddled but get in the car, Chihiro looks back at the park gate, they drive away and...that's it, there's nothing more, and I like how it's just sorta mysterious, a careful balance, one isn't sure WHAT happens after the car drives away, there's something inexplicable even as it seems 'normality' has returned.
Well in the Disney dub TEH CHIKLIS says something as the car drives off in the final shot about how hopefully the new school won't be scary and what'shername confirms it and it all becomes a chirpy nice little "Isn't that sweet, see one shouldn't be afraid of moving!" ending. DIE.
Sure it's part of the possibilities of reading the movie and story, but to lock it down so brutally that way, just to provide a balance to the opening of the film? I don't think so!

I saw Cat's Return at the cinema last year, and was a bit disappointed by it. The animation felt substandard, I think it might actually work *better* on the small screen. It had some cool characters and nice scenes, but overall plot was kinda messy. It's still worth seeing though.

So, um, Nausicaa might be one of the best movies I've ever seen. Even the funny dated-sounding mid-80s score was great. I've never shouted at the screen so much at any cartoon ever!
― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)
(From the back of my Chinese DVD of Nausicaa. Fortunately the disc was produced in Hong Kong so the subtitling is a lot better!)

http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/interviews/
Couple of good short interviews with Miyazaki about Howl's but definitely also read the May interview, done specifically for the site, with Cindy and Don Hewitt, who are the folks in charge of nearly all the recent script adaptations and dubs from Spirited Away on, including most though not all of the rereleases. Lots of good info about why and how certain decisions were made (for instance, the ARGGH final bit of dialogue in Spirited Away -- turned out to be Ghibli-approved, but even so) and why some rereleases (Totoro and Whisper) been delayed.
Core general news:
* Restating what was already on the nausicaa.net site, the next domestic releases are Pom Poko and My Neighbors the Yamadas in mid-August.
* Cast list for Pom Poko dub:
Jonathan Taylor Thomas as SHOKICHIJ.K. Simmons as SEIZAEMONClancy Brown as GONTAMaurice LaMarche as NARRATORAndre Stojka as OSHO
* For Yamadas, 'Jim Belushi and Molly Shannon are Mr & Mrs Yamada'
* Totoro, Whisper of the Heart and Howl's are apparently planned for a joint domestic DVD release next spring.
* Totoro's new dub (done partially for legal reasons given the earlier Fox dub) will have Dakota Fanning and her sister as the girls. Er.
* No immediate word on Whisper of the Heart's cast
* Neither Only Yesterday nor I Can Hear the Sea (a.k.a. Ocean Waves) are due for domestic release.

Jean Reno on the French version is pretty kickass. That said you almost want there to just be an Italian version for obvious reasons.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 July 2007 00:13 (seventeen years ago)
I thought Michael Keaton was great as Porco, and I also loved Susan Egan in this; unrelated but I realized the other day but she kind of looks exactly like the characters she voices in Miyazaki movies IRL.
