Yeah, when it comes to English voiceactors Studio Ghibli is about the only one who continually seems to get it right. They choose quality actors who actually have talent instead of what you normally see in most English dubbed anime's. There are a few exceptions here and there, but in most cases the English version of an otherwise awesome anime gets completely ruined by the voiceacting of people who clearly need to choose a new career....

Just watched the english dubbed version (had previously watched the original version) and a I gotta say the only difference is that Sousuke's family refer to each other as father, son, dad, mom, wife and so on, as in the original they refer to each other with their first name. I believe by doing so, the english version has a feel that the family is much closer.

As soon as I heard Fujimoto speaking english, I found out it was Liam Neeson, and it felt amazing as I am a big fan.

I finally saw it! And i have to say, its a beautiful movie.

This is definitely a movie meant for young children. More than the other recent works from the director Hayao Miyazaki. In style animation and story wise i would compare it the most to My Neighbor Totoro witch came out 20 years earlier in 1988.

I liked the drawing style in this movie. It was at points more crude than what i am usually used to from Studio Ghibli, but it was still very good.

All in all a good movie that deserves to be seen by anyone!
