I remember the first time we saw this. At the time, the only Miyazaki movie we saw was Mononoke, and from the moment this song started, we couldn't wipe these silly grins off of our faces. Stop hating the song; it's awesome.
Its a great movie ...but not this version...the first english version is better...even in the opening song, the old version sounded way better...the woman singing in the older english version sang much better :p
Nothing surpasses the Original English dub of this movie and I mean NOTHING! Troma's English version will always remain true to my heart. Oh to be a child in the 90's ounce again.
Whoever is singing is trying too hard in this version. It's not a song made to impress people. The point of the song is to set the mood of the movie! She should have used a more gentle, minimal approach. Not a loud one.
@moose656 TELL ME ABOUT IT i hated the remake soooo cause they left out so much shit like dialog and how about emotion to great music SIGH i wish they re released it again except with the original
where can I get a copy of this in mp3? If there is a site where I can buy this song in English, that would be excellent, but so far, I've had no luck finding anything. Any ideas?
I think this version isw crap as the singer doesn't sing the last word of the song very long unlike the older english dub, disney as such bastards I hate them always changing everything :P
I don't have too much of a problem with the Disney dialogue redub (though I admit, I prefer Fox's), but this song is just jarring... She elevates her voice really loud in some parts, then gets soft, and it just does not have a nice flow to it. It's a little painful to listen to sometimes...
I just posted this because I really love the theme music and the film, this being the only version I own/have seen before youtube. I don't understand why it's a big deal it's another dub?
@rushnerd the new dub is bad because the voice actors didnt fit their characters like the old ones did. It was good the way it was it makes no sense to change the original dub. Of course the newer voice actors worked hard and i respect that, but all the vocal music is changed too and that takes away from the classic feel. thanks for uploading though....
@rushnerd It's probably a big deal to a lot of us because we all grew up on the original dubbed version, and then comes along Disney channel making this version which is, in my opinion, really bad compared to the original dubbed
@rushnerd People get attached to things from their childhood, defensive of things changing. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and yes, the new dub does bother me, but it doesn't stop me from enjoy it.
@ButterflyofHimawari the stuffed totoro I got isnt that big, and i got from my friend, and she got it from ebay, so u might wanna check on there o u o
@rushnerd I've seen three but i dunno :/ sorry i had to let people know heheh...
but me and my brother were watching the blu-ray version of Totoro and where the girls are running to the house, after learning it was a camfer(i forgot how to spell) tree, one of them was suppose to yell "cccaaaammmmmmfffeerrrrrrrrr!" but in the blu-ray version its not there... and me and my brother couldnt watch any more cause it sounded so wrong. We grew up with it heheh...
Sadly I didn't grow up with any Ghibli movies, only in the last few years did I get to see them. I suppose that's where all the hate stems from on this video, everyone saw the FOX dub first.
I heard both Japanese and English versions. I have to say I like the English version better. This one is more energertic and powerful. It sounds more like a march, which this song should be.
I have no idea why everybody is hating on this one so much. For one, it's a certain singing style, and one that works for this. I actually do not like the other English version just because for one, I hate the girls voice and it's not very passionate. This version I feel it works because it's very energetic (Which a lot of kids are) and she seems to have more passion in the song.
This version of the song sucks. Not in feeling with the original at all. This isn't American Idol, it's a children's movie. Stop yelling, and get with the whimsy.
@rushnerd Not too mention, that many animators from both Disney and Pixar are very much influenced by Miyazaki's artistry. John Lasseter and Miyazaki-san have been dear friends for over twenty years.
This dub is not as bad as people try to make it out to be.
