i'll definately be interested in seeing some of those movies, especially the older cartoons. glad to see they are keeping the US dubs as well!

i'm watching PUSS 'N BOOTS right now, and it has English dubbing but what sounds like the "Gigantor" crew, as i recognize both the voices of Claw and Dan'l Baboon. it's very cool to see a Japanese cartoon that doesn't look like all 5,436,120 Japanese movies out these days.
highly recommended!

i'm watching TARO now as well, and it's definately Billie Lou Watt as Taro's English voice. this is a really fun cartoon, and it's beautifully shot as well, lots of nice paintings.

ANIMAL TREASURE ISLAND was a hoot. it had a mixture of Titra voices and the Astro Boy voices. stupid IMDB doesn't have the US voice cast listed, annoyingly.
out of the three, i liked THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PUSS IN BOOTS the most, but the other two are greatly enjoyable.

These are great -- and I'd love to see PANDA AND THE MAGIC SERPENT and the other early Japanese animated features which were brought to the states. Especially, LITTLE PRINCE AND THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON, which features a score by Akira Ifukube, and was a major influence in the look of SAMURAI JACK. Glad I still have this one taped from TBS from the mid-1990s, it was dubbed by William "Dr. Schmidt" Ross.

how about JACK AND THE WITCH, which would be way cool to see letterboxed and complete? i hope these did well, all three were quite enjoyable and it would be nice to see other such films treated well- especially ALAKAZAM THE GREAT! that would be interesting to see what the Japanese version says (i like watching the dubs with the subs on to see the comparisons).

just watched PUSS IN BOOTS again, and i wish somewhere i could find the English cast credits- though for the most part, we know everyone that did it (since i can hear Dan'l Baboon, Samson and many more familiar voices).
great movie.
