The English-dubbed cast includes the vocal talents of Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mark Hamill, Mandy Patinkin, and more! (All images © 1986 Studio Ghibli). Although the original Japanese release of Castle in the Sky featured a cast of relatively popular Japanese voice actors, Disney’s dub of the movie upped the ante by adding some big Hollywood names, including Anna Paquin and James Van Der Beek as the movie’s two lead characters, Sheeta and Pazu. In addition to their anime news regarding Hunter x Hunter's English dub cast and streaming plans for JoJo's. Studio Ghibli's first movie with a broadcast of the movie Castle in the Sky. I thought he actually did a pretty good job. Not as good as the rest of the cast, but still very underrated. Mature-sounding or not, I liked the enthusiasm he brought to the character. In short, Disney's dub of CASTLE IN THE SKY may not be perfect, but it is in no way a bad dub and IMO, very underrated.
