We've got a copy, the kids love it. I like the Hunter Thompson meets Totoro. Great.
I'll see if my buddy who has superior DVD dubbing capabilities can dub it for me for you.

Oh no no no, if we're gonna go that far, I'll just go get the torrent. I have already paid for it legitimately... so why not?

(searches) Why yes. Now here is why one p!rates.

Well - many of the Ghibli torrents floating around are Japanese with subtitles, which is what the purists want to watch. There is a school of thought which regards the English dubs as inferior.

Now, I'm not here to argue the point - I prefer the subtitled Japanese versions myself, although the English dubs are extremely well-acted and written. But it's a bit harsh to expect a small child to read subs! And I'm absolutely positive that Miyazaki didn't create this film strictly for those old enough to read subtitles.....

I made this Xvid encode to have both English and Japanese audio-tracks, as well as English subs. So if you prefer, you can watch the original+subs; but if you're watching with children, you can switch to the English dub.

Not available in this format in any commercial product. Could they offer it. Of course they could. But they did not and so they lose harder.

I could use that torrent too. The dubbing is tough and there are a few leaps of plot that I couldn't make.

Well then cellar.org becomes a torrent tracker. Well here's the piratebay link.

Watched last night BTW. Delightful. I grinned several times. The backgrounds and colors were just astounding at times. Wiki says Totoro is as popular in Japan as Winnie the Pooh is in the US. Easy to understand... you have to want one.

footfootfoot · 11-11-2010, 01:43 PM

My kids are Totoro fiends, not so much with Winnie the pooh. They play at being Satsuke and her sister.
They also like Ponyo, a bit less, but it's growing on them, Plus, now that the inch is older he doesn't want to be Satsuke anymore

Flint · 11-11-2010, 01:55 PM

I get my kids to eat stuff by telling them it's "Ponyo ham."

footfootfoot · 11-11-2010, 01:57 PM

Yep, just like at Sosuke's house. Yep, the same stuff. Exactly. You've had it beofre and you liked it, remember?
