Quite, quite wrong. Compared to many other dubs out there, these are some of the best around--yes, even the first wave they released. They may not be perfect (Kiki and Laputa perhaps have more dialogue than necessary, but otherwise there was nothing about these dubs that I thought was unbearable), but they're certainly very strong in quality. I think you are much too harsh on them--they don't have to "parrot" the Japanese tracks to be perfect, but if they work for audiences, there's nothing wrong with that. They haven't done badly on any of them so far, and I hold onto the US releases of Miyazaki's films with pride. The packaging is good, the presentations are above average, and the dubbing on all of them is good. I understand that some guys may have problems with the Disney dubs, but they're far from unlistenable IMO. In fact, I hardly ever hear the Japanese tracks due to how spoiled I am by them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-1154178247330795492006-07-29T08:04:00.000-05:002006-07-29T08:04:00.000-05:00I hope Lasseter will continue to promote Ghibli fi...I hope Lasseter will continue to promote Ghibli films here in the states. He's now Chief Creative Officer of the animation studios, since the Pixar acquisition. So I think the future looks bright, though I don't know what they'll do about releasing more back catalog...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
