Disney Aquires Sen to Chihiro, Lasseter to Dub

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the movies-to-lust-over dept.

peter_gzowski writes "Disney has finally announced that it will be bringing Miyazaki's anime masterpiece Sen to Chihiro (Spirited Away) over to North American theaters. Sen to Chihiro is the most successful non-U.S. produced movie in the world. It has grossed about 30 billion yen ($226 million U.S.), which is more than Titanic (the previous record holder). We can expect it to be here around July." John Lasseter of Pixar fame is lined up to consult on the dub. No voices yet confirmed, but John: I'm available and willing.

  1. So do we hate them or not? by netsharc · · Score: 5, Insightful
    So, is Disney good or bad? Yesterday we were mad about SSSCA and the fact that Disney is one of the few who are going to fuck the country with their bought Senator(s), and now we're cheering about them. In the words of an AC, 'This is Slashdot, home of the "Evil company X is threatening to restrict our rights! Let's all get together to stop--OOOH! SHINEY!!!"'

    Well call me crazy because I'm becoming too passionate about something offtopic to this discussion, but if we're just going to forget it after one day, no wonder they're going to get away with it.

      ..and as long as you keep paying the chef, he will still be there and keep doing the things you hate.

  2. Dear Mr. Lasseter - subtitles by uberstool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please suggest that digital projection theatres have midnight showings with subtitles and the original Japanese voice tracks instead of the celebrity flavor of the month voices (like that X-files chick or the guy from slingblade). I already sat through a Miyazaki film with tacky Hollywood dub.

  3. Is this the same Disney... by Skapare · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is this the same Disney that wants to destroy your right to enjoy your computer hardware and software technology just so they can methods to prevent you from accessing the content you have already bought and paid for? Is this the same Disney that so many people are now telling friends and family to boycott? Is this the same Disney that has bought and paid for Senator Hollings, D-SC?
