Disney did learn from it, or so to say sony learned from disney. Spirited away was seen on DLP with a original language and sub's on most theaters. Something I think disney did good at.

Your view on it wallace, I loved the subbed far more then the dub, though I do give the dub credit, just feels normal to hear it in japanese.

Did they use the same cast for the movie as they did for the series? If so, then that's aces in my book... I thought the dub was excellent.
One of the latter episodes called "Mushoom Samba," I believe, can only be properly appreciated in English, as its an homage to Blaxspoitation, and sorry to say this, Japanese voice actors can't do "black."

Yes, I would also like to know if the cast list is the same as the series. I thought the dub for the series was AWESOME, and I'll be very dissappointed if it isn't the same people.
