Where's the love?!

So every other one of Miyazaki's films are getting the Uber-Editions with special features and professional actors dubbing the part. Where's the treatment for Castle of Cagliostro? Not only is it one of the best Miyazaki films (well, I love them all, but this and Totoro are my favorites, but it's one of the best films of all time!

Who would you pick to do the professional voice dubbing? I actually can't see anyone but the American Lupin TV voice actors doing the parts (the latest American dub voice actors are good, but can't stack up to the perfect casting they got on the show). But if I had to...

Lupin: Leonardo Dicarprio or Ed Norton (Norton can play anything and Dicaprio already played the Lupin-ish Frank Abagnale in Catch Me If You Can)

Jigen: Gary Sinese

Goemon: Doesn't really matter; he doesn't say much in the movie and he's always stoic.

Fujiko: Keira Knightley or Whoopi Goldberg (Kidding! Actually, Keira'd make a decet Fujiko if they ever make that live-action Lupin movie)

Zenigata: Rowan Atikinson. Zenigata is soooo Mr. Bean-like.

Cagliostro: Guy they had in the dub was okay. Alan Rickman or Joh Malkovich or whatever generic bad-guy you want to use. Actually, Mark Hamill was good as the bad guy in Castle in the Sky.

Bill Hicks: 12/16/61 - 2/26/94. We will never see another like you, Bill.

I think that if it weren't for the TV dub voices in "Mamo," I would have enjoyed the movie a lot less than I did. So Pioneer/Geneon's Lupin voices would work really well for "Cagliostro."

Castle of Caglistro has a rare dub that fits the characters. It's one that may be more fun to watch than the Japanese version.

Uh, he's not saying that the dub is rare as in hard-to-find, but rare as in you don't find many that are as good as it is.

Yeah there rare dub (which i have on VHS luckily) which is in my opinion the best dub of a japanese animation ever. the voices fit each character perfectly. I would really like to see a collectors edition of Castle of Cagliostro with that dub.

I don't know what my dream cast would be, I just love the Japanese voice actors. The Manga Entertainment dub for the film was good, the voices fitted their characters (with the exception of Goemon).
