The Making of the American dubbed Porco Rosso

[DreamDreamDream21]

silvermoonredmoon that's not right Disney is amazing they had created beautiful work just as Miyazaki, They have both worked very hard with what they have out there your nothing for such a stupid remark.... but that's my onion

[misterkevinoh]

Michael Keaton said it best, this movie is just interesting and fun.

[princepeterwolf]

wow amazing english cast!!

[princepeterwolf]

I had no idea Susan Egan worked in the english dub of a ghibli film, she's amazing

[StrawHatLaw13]

"Ok, it takes place in Italy, it was originally in Japanese now it's in English but she sings in French." *crosses eyes*

[Queerlioness]

Well, I find English dub weird sometimes, but Disney pulls a pretty good job comprared to most (anime is not easy to dub). Anyway,

All Disney fans would notice that Meg and Clogsworth are in this show !!

[jwezzy7]

One of the things I can tell about miyazaki is that he was really influenced by Joe Campbell. In a way all stories are sort of influenced by him and his Hero's Journey theory. I learned a lot about it from Finding Joe, a good documentary that I would really recommend to people interested in that sort of thing.

[Neurodisco77]

Susan Egan looks a bit like Gina !

[CarmelitaLeFink]

LOL at all the weeaboos bitching about how awful Disney is. Just please, shut up. They are BOTH amazing.

And Disney does AMAZING dub work with Miyazaki films. ((With the exception of the casting choices of Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas in "Ponyo". That was clear and blatant advertising and I wish they hadn't done that, because the rest of the English cast was perfect.))

But I digress.

English dubbing does not suck, nor does it take away from the original Japanese versions.

[princepeterwolf]

@CarmelitaLeFink I couldn't agree more with you. I don't know what the heck is going on with people these days, they seem to only take one side and then hate the other...everything must be a war...why? Disney has the best animation pieces ever made and achieved artistic triumph like no one will ever do, while studio ghibli may have possibly some of the best scripts wrote to animated films, as a whole, their films are superb and excelent, but disney will always be the finest.

[mayin3ification]

Miyazaki is one of my idols... forever :)

[hbruins85]

I first watched this English version in 2008 on board a Japan Airlines flight to SFO. The English version is 100 times better than the Japanese. "Sorry, gotta fly!"

[CarmelitaLeFink]

Miyazaki is a life-long hero of mine. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP HATING ON DISNEY!!!! Besides, it's fucking hard work to dub. Harder than the initial Japanese voice work was. Don't hate.

[kayjaybean]

I love Keaton ^^

[claudiobenassi85]

6:24 SPERMING

[mcmilk]

"Okay, it takes place in Italy, it's originally in Japanese, now it's in English, but she sings in french. @_@"

LOL

[ladydragonpoint5]

I'm never seen it yet.

[hanluy1215]

incredible cast. Susan Egan is Gina.

[esyphillis101]

Borrowed the english dub from my local library. Its really good, in my opinion. I haven't seen the original Jap version, but Fio and Porco were really well done, I think (:

[Turnajon]

I've never heard the original non-Disney dub of PORCO ROSSO, but I didn't hear such great things about it.  Besides, I personally found Disney's dub of this movie fine, especially Kimberly's Fio--her chemistry with Michael is what really makes the film. Cary is also quite amusing as Curtis. Then again, I do love the Disney dubs pretty much unreservedly.

[godihatethissite]

miyazaki is NOTHING compared to Michael Keaton!!!

[elitadream]

Seen it in japanese+subs, in french dub... *sigh*, and I can't seem to find it anywhere in english. =( I'd really love to watch the movie while hearing Keaton's voice, it really fits!^^

[sammysin13]

Porco is one of my favourite Ghibli films. The soundtrack is amazing, characters are really fun and unique and the action is top draw! I need to watch it again in English this time.

[GhibliOriginals]

Marco was dubbed by Jean Reno in France! he made such a nice voice ^ ^

[FoolOfGods]

@GhibliOriginals Well there is something I didn't know, guess every day really is a school day, I know Jean Reno's work from 'Les Visiteurs', 'Léon' and 'Subway' ... Didn't recognize his 'Marco', but what a wonderful pairing! Thanks - love movie trivia :)

[kawaiianimegurl]

i love brad garret hes so funny

[KurosawasHouseBand]

I love Michael Keaton's dub of the character. One of my favorite films.

[neofeliss]

"Okay, it takes place in Italy, it was originally in Japanese, now it's in English, but she sings in French...>__<"

LOL. I Love Susan!! I love how they called on her talent with Spirited Away and now this. She's wonderful.

[Barclay1987]

Nice!

[xxLittleMissMagicxx]

Hey is that Kaitlyn from degrassi?

[Melicioel7]

I had never seen anything from the english version until now...I always thought that characters would have italian or french or whatever accent from their home countries. lol I don't know why I had that in my mind

[Schachlil]

english: Michael Keaton !!

frenches: Jean Reno !!

[mamom333]

みなさん楽しんで仕事してた様子が分かるビデオで、また次に見る­ときが楽しみです。

[smokelakes]

whenever that girl talks i just think of a bunch of female characters from miyazaki

[crankyboiy]

@smokelakes hahaha thats so true

[mathegiik]

Michael Keaton goes from Batman, to Porco Rosso, to Ken... AWESOME!

[trje246]

does anyone know where i can get the original english dub? i hate this American one

[silvermoonredmoon]

disney is NOTHING compared to Miyazaki!!!

[InreallifePOSTS]

@silvermoonredmoon It's pretty bad, Disney has been taking the credit for Miyazaki's films by buying them out. I agree My fav is Nausicaa

[DeformedMonsterHero]

@silvermoonredmoon Okay, i understand your love for Miyazaki, but how could you not give the credit Disney deserves as an Animation pioneer. Let's not forget the world-wide animation craze that occurred after Snow White was released in 1938, which was the first color cel-animated full length film. Miyazaki himself admitted a lot of inspiration was drawn from Disney films and other fairy tales. Also you can't knock Pixar films, they are simply awesome.

[TheTyroneharris]

I agree.

I don't like PIXAR movies; however, I can appreciate the work that goes into them, they are amazing in there own right.

[FoolOfGods]

@DeformedMonsterHero Long before 'Uncle' Walt was a twinkle in Mr Disney Snr's eye, Japanese woodblock prints were using 'cartoon' style to impart knowledge and tell a story/myth, Goya was making 'cartoons' 'Muchachos Jugando a Soldados', 'El niño del árbol' 1779-80, for a living. 'Girdie the Dinosaur' and 'Felix the Cat' not forgetting James Stuart Blackton, Winsor McCay, Emile Cohl, Otto Messmer, The Bray Studio ... all of whom blazed the trail before Disney. Credit where it is due indeed

[DeformedMonsterHero]

@FoolOfGods I'm talking about full length animated motion pictures. Way to bring up art forms from 300 years ago, I bet you feel so proud you pretentious dilweed. Yes, there were shorts as you mentioned of course. I'm just saying Disney is not garbage, in fact he inspired Miyazaki if you could just look that up and stop trying to look up Japanese woodblock prints or whatever you're doing these days.

[FoolOfGods]

@DeformedMonsterHero Suggest you learn to read, I never said anything against Uncle Walt - I attempted to put his work into context of an already existing tradition history! Why do you have a problem with Disney being part of an international art form? What does my so-called 'pretentious twaddle' have to do with anything? You are resorting to personal insult in order to distract from your lack of confidence in your own assertions. Your 'awesome' arguments are narrow, petty minded and weak

[DeformedMonsterHero]

@FoolOfGods HAH, you sound like some kind of Borg waiting for me to assimilate. You ARE pretentious and didn't even deny it. It's not an 'argument' as you put it and it's also not a competition to see who can come up with the earliest forms of animation. If I said that then I would be mentioning the Chauvet Caves. This is simply stating Walt Disney deserves some recognition and some Japanophiles need to tone down the hatred.

[FoolOfGods]

@DeformedMonsterHero 'No one can have a higher opinion of you than I have, and I think you’re a slimy, contemptible sewer rat! [The Great Mouse Detective]. For a DeformedMonster you're an ignorant prig - you'll need to spend more time in High School if you're ever going to graduate. The fact is I am not 'pretentious - just a better educated, & more worldly, 'fool' than you. "You may not realize ... but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." Walt Disney. End of Story

[DeformedMonsterHero]

@FoolOfGods The only reason you're a judgmental ass here on the internet is because you have no real friends and are a lifeless faggot who trolls the web. Do you think I care about your basement dwelling acne laden ass that I would continue to waste time arguing? Oh cool you can quote an old Disney film and Disney himself, you're so worldly! Apparently you care so much about a pointless online argument that you do research just to attempt to rebuttal.

[silvermoonredmoon]

@DeformedMonsterHero i don't like pixar movies so what most of them are awful anyway and disney movies meh only one or two which are quite good? but Miyazaki's movies and GHIBLI are all awesome to me and i don't need you to agree with me

[DeformedMonsterHero]

@silvermoonredmoon I just disagree. I do enjoy Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa and My Neighbor Totoro and hold them to high regards, but many of Miyazaki's films involve characters who have been cursed and need someone or thing to break the spell (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa). I definitely think he is insanely talented, but there are hundreds of Disney films (not just animated) which I feel are excellent.

[DeformedMonsterHero]

I just recommend watching some good ones which people have forgotten, like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', 'Never Cry Wolf', '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', 'Dragonslayer' and those ones are live-action. Recently there have been a slew of Pixar films with much more depth in character and plot than in the past. Have you seen Wall-E, Up and even Toy Story 3 topped it's predecessors.

[M3T4LK4R1N4]

@silvermoonredmoon So true! My daughter loves them more too. She likes to pretend to be ponyo

[MangoTangoFOx]

@silvermoonredmoon Well duh, but these would never be enjoyed by common America, if Disney didn't make these official dubs.

[princepeterwolf]

@silvermoonredmoon :D Ha, is that a joke? Do you have any idea of what you're saying?

[TheProudAmerican777]

Hey its that guy from MASH. ^_^ -excited-

[BURNheavenRAISEhell]

I love how Michael Keaton has this sort of old-timey movie lighting on him the whole time.

[Dragonstorm787]

Cary Elwes is English? Not much of an accent...

[pspboy7]

@Dragonstorm787 Cary Elwes is not English, he's American. He just does English types cause he's so good at it.

[broadwaybroad]

haha Susan Egan is awesome.
