In the original Japanese version, the dialogue presented Sheeta as a potential mother figure to the pirates, rather than a potential romantic interest.
Some of the other changes in Disney's dub.English language dubs of Laputa have been released under three different titles by three separate distributors, which is largely because it is identical to the Spanish rude term "la puta" (lit. Although meaningless in Japanese, the name "Laputa" comes from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Most releases in America drop "Laputa" from the title.Recently, however, the film has been rereleased by GKids with two different cuts of the Disney dub: one with the original score, and one with the revised score. Post 2010 releases of the film undo a large amount of these changes, including the music score and added dialogue. Regarding the soundtrack, Miyazaki himself is said to have approved of Hisaishi's reworking. Although all these alterations were approved by Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki, some critics have called them into question. As with Mononoke and Kiki, critical opinion was mixed about the new dub, but Cloris Leachman and Mark Hamill's performances as Dola and Muska drew praise.Īlthough the plot and much of the script was left intact, Disney's English dub of Castle in the Sky contains some changes, including added background chatter and one-liners where dialogue was not originally present, and most notably an extended score by original composer Joe Hisashi to fill in moments of silence. The film was finally released on DVD and video in the US on Augalongside a re-release of Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away. The Disney-produced English dub was recorded in 1998 and planned for release on video in 1999, but the release was canceled after Princess Mononoke did not fare as well in the US as Japan, and so Laputa's release date was pushed back yet again on occasion, the completed dub was screened at select children's festivals.
The Magnum-produced dub of Castle in the Sky was released only on the Japanese Studio Ghibli Laserdisc Collection in 1996 and on the first Region 2 DVD release in 2002, both of which are now out of print. Following this, Tokuma allowed Streamline to dub their future acquisitions My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. Carl Macek, the head of Streamline, was disappointed with this dub, deeming it "adequate, but clumsy". In the late 1980s, an English dubbed version, produced by Magnum Video Tape and Dubbing for international Japan Airlines flights at the request of Tokuma Shoten, was briefly screened in the United States by Streamline Pictures in 19, as well as being aired on UK television on New Years Eve in 1988 and on at least one more following occasion in the early 1990s.
