It's two in the morning and I'm watching Disney's Robin Hood. Two observations:

1. This movie is a lot better in the undubbed version. (Fellow Belgians will understand this--the Dutch version is terrible.) The jokes actually make sense!
2. Last time I watched this movie was when I was home over Christmas, with my brothers, while rather drunk and slightly high. It was the first time I'd seen it since childhood (my brother and I could still say the lines right along with the tape), and I remember suddenly seeing smut everywhere. I blamed the alcohol and the pot. It ... wasn't the alcohol or the pot. Seriously, this movie is so the reason for furries.

In German or in English? (Is the German dubbed version as bad as the Dutch one?)

In german. And I don't know, I would need to see the english version. I know they have put a lot of effort in the german dub, but I'm not sure how well it worked.

Huh. The Dutch version is abysmal, and they basically haven't redone the dubbing at all since the original version. (The whole Dutch vs Flemish thing doesn't help, of course.) They basically didn't bother to even try and translate half of the jokes, the songs don't rhyme, ...

They got Reinhard Mey for the music and the Allan A'Dale role (a famous german balladeer, don't know if you ever heard about him, he's pretty abysmal now, but he was rather good back then and definitely up to the task.) I've checked the imdb quotes page to get an impression of the english version and I think they came up with adequate replacement jokes when direct translations were impossible. Still, I want to see the english version now.
