> The English dubbed voices seemed to lack passion or say things in the wrong tones (or just be monotone!).
Acting takes time and a good voice director. Can't just hand a VA a script and expect magic. If there's a 1:1 ratio between time in the booth and play time, because the whole thing is done on the cheap, then fuckit. Garbage in garbage out.
> The only consistent exception to the poor English dubs has been Miyazaki. Heck, Liam Neeson was a voice in Ponyo!
I think Disney know a thing or two about casting and producing a good voice performance.
