No, honest, the TCR dub is one of the better ones. I especially think Tim Curry is awesome, the best English voice acting I've seen in an anime since he's just so funny. But the Elwes reference might have slipped in by accident... he's pretty good though and has exactly the right accent for the character. Even though the Baron is a German-made doll and is owned by a Japanese person he looks very English and I can imagine a teenage girl's fantasy version of him having a middle/upper class British accent.

But yes, Disney's stereotyping of gender etc is atrocious. Anastasia was quite good though, that one broke a couple of barriers even if Anastasia did have to have a male bonding partner and a father figure to help her through her story... .

I wonder how much control of subject they plan in these deals? We might be pleasantly surprised.

Disney has a few good films. Personally I consider Lion King to be one of the most important films of my time, at least. Of course, a lot of them are still firmly rooted as "children's films", and there's nothing really wrong with that.

Finding Nemo is also a Disney product (though Pixar) that I would rate as a very good film, for what it is....Many of their best work (Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan) is from the 90s, though.

Yeah, I'm skeptical too... but let's wait for the product before being too critical.

Name the last Disney cartoon that deserved any form of actual praise.

And please don't say Lilo and Stitch.

@fen...
That "grasshopper's" name was Jiminy Cricket and I can still spell Encyclopedia to the tune of his song that I learned when I was a kid. The tune was going thru my head even as I was spelling the word or was the tune 'helping me spell the word

Many early Disney films were wholesome learning entertainment for kids... Learn a lot about morals, not always true to life, but they tried in many cases... Even rewrote history to fit the ethic being promoted... Usually from the American point of view...

Like portayals of the Boston Tea Party, ' Darn English', grr lol or the redskins harassing poor ol' Davy Crockett... or the dang Mexican Army under Santa Ana at the Alamo...

dirty dawgs, the lot of'm, but our heros prevailed...
all us kids in America in that era were brainwashed to a degree and not just by Disney... They can't take all the blame...

Dang, soapbox just broke...
