The old version was way better

Rating: 4/10 (19 September 2006)

Am I making this up? When I was just a kid I saw this on TV, and it was just so much better. The music was more dramatic, the voice acting was less-kiddified, and the whole movie had a more intense feel to it.
I was so disappointed when I turned it on, that I promptly turned it off again. I wasn't going to let James Van Der Whatzit ruin one of my favorite childhood characters. Did they even watch the old one? Chances are, no, they didn't.
Basically I'm frustrated. I was looking forward to reminiscing for a couple of hours, but I ended up doing laundry because I couldn't watch it. The excitement and maturity of the first English-version is lost to a bunch of silly ad-libs, squeaky voices, and muted music.
Blech. Where can I find an old copy on DVD?
