Princess Mononoke

Post by Daviddark » Mon Apr 07, 2003 11:11 pm

Princess Mononoke surprised me big time. I saw the american dubbed version with Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton, and I'm not complaining.

Princess Mononoke is a very good film... not my favorite Ghibli title... but since I place the Ghili stuff above most anime, that's not too bad.

I thought the dub was passable... but there was plenty of room for improvement.

Minnie Driver was hands down the best actress in the movie...

Still... they were using a bad voice director (who has a great number of sub-standard dubs to his name). Thankfully... Disney got rid of him and went with someone with a much better talent in voice directing when they did the dub for Spirited Away (a vastly superior dub)

True, most of the anime I watch is in Japanese with subtitles... but I certainly can appretiate when a good dub comes along (there are so many bad ones out there)
