| Carol Burnette being the crazy lady was perfect casting. However, Ponyo had Liam Neeson and that was a terrible dub. So how is this one? |
| It's decent. They added a few lines where I don't think there were any before, but they weren't really out of place. Carol Burnett's voice seemed to change every now and then toward the end, so I got confused. I heard a few people saying they thought Shou's lines were awkward at times, but I didn't really notice it. |

I haven't heard the Japanese audio, but maybe it was more apparent in the dub that he seemed to take more breathes while speaking his lines, as if he was truly sick. It only sometimes seemed "awkward" when he spoke Arrietty's name, but that may be because he spoke slowly and he may have been using honorifics in the Japanese audio. Sounded like he was saying something along the lines of Arrieh-T. Other than that, I liked the dub. Bridget Mendler did very well. |
| I this cast did quite well, I haven't seen it in Japanese yet but plan to though. |

| Loved the dub. Very good cast that fix each character perfectly. (very glad I got to see it in theaters) ovoon7 said: Carol Burnette being the crazy lady was perfect casting.

It's good, but it's a little worse than some of the other Ghibli dubs. Some of the names were changed to be more Americanized and while the dubbers managed to blend their voices in with the characters quite seamlessly, I think I saw a few lip sync problems. |

| It's a typical Disney dub; I have no major qualms with it. Flawfinder said: I think I saw a few lip sync problems. Then again, your name does happen to be "Flawfinder." ^_^ |
| My only complaint of this movie at the moment was the Americanization of Shou's & Sadako's names. Beyond that, I have none as I haven't seen the Japanese version yet. BTW, I wasn't confused by Carol Burnette's voice and found her to be absolutely perfect for her role in this movie. |

| I had no problems with the dub. In fact, it was really, really good. The voices matched the characters and nothing was out of place as far as I could tell. |
| I really couldn't be bothered to come up with a clever signature at this time. So right now I will go ahead and say nay and move on with my business |
| British dub > American dub YEAHHHHH. |

| Saw the UK dub - mostly pretty good... I thought Pod sounded unusually menacing but then I realised it was Mark Strong voicing him, so maybe it was just my subconscious. He was playing a gruff, taciturn character and he seemed to be deliberately matching all his lines up with the animated mouth movements, so I cant fault him for effort, it just came out a bit monotonous. Anyway, Mark Strong's pretty great normally, though I'm a long-time Arrested Development fan so would've loved to have heard Will Arnett! Can imagine he'd be totally different. Thought the music was horribly sickly though. |
| eh I'm trying to edit my post but sometimes it's here sometimes it's not... dumb forum anyway synching isn't that important to me in a dub, but I appreciate the effort. Speech patterns are bound to be different in Japanese, that's a given. Sometimes it's best to go with what's natural. |
| I haven't seen the dub. |
| The Dub was pretty decent, even though his voice is really noticeable it is not even that bad. |
 |
| Ok, so they did change it to Shawn. I thought I might have been mishearing a really terrible pronunciation. What the fuck? I thought they stopped doing that crap a decade ago. Pathetic. The acting was decent though. I was afraid Amy Poeller was going to make it all about her but she wasn't too distracting. I enjoyed it. |

| I watched the uk dub really nice, it was one of my first animes. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
