New Disney voice-over

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2006)

I watched the original English My Neighbor Totoro and I have always loved it. Then I saw that CartoonNetwork was playing it as a Spring Break special. I was excited to see it after so many years. But as I was watching it, something didn't sound right. I missed the beginning credits, but then later on learned that the original voice cast had been replaced by Dakota and Ellie Fanning. A terrible mistake. Even the dialouge was changed. I was disgusted. Why had Disney replaced the original English voices? At least the animation and soundtrack is still original. I think this was a terrible transition. I don't believe there were any reasons to change the voices. Thumbs down for the remake.
