Hayao Miyazaki makes the best animated fantasy films in the world, and to my taste, My Neighbor Totoro is still the best of them. Funny, magical, gripping to both children and adults. If you haven't seen it, for shame, and correct this fact now. :)

Yeah, all those movies are great ^_^. Too bad Disney messes them up so much. The dubbed versions usually feel like they are dumbed down, like Disney expects the kids watching to be stupider than they really are. I always watch them in Japanese w/ English subtitles if I can, but Disney even messes with the subtitles sometimes! They are just using Studio Ghibli because they haven't got anything 1/4 as good. If I had the money I'd buy the Japanese
ReplyDeletereleases of all those movies (they have better translations), and have them shipped to me here in America. ...*sigh*...someday...
I don't see anything wrong with the Disney version.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love Disney. I saw the movie on VHS as a small child, and then I just watched the DVD recently, which has Hollywood voice actors. I do believe the old dubbing is better, but I'm still very pleased with the film.
