I knew I was missing one. There was also Haku from Spirited Away that was voiced by the really short guy, friend of Eric's (the older brother) in Boy Meets World!! Disney is everywhere!
*screams in agony* I waited for months for this movie to come out, and THESE are the voice talents?! true, it's Disney, but they could've done better. My ears will NEVER forgive me! (I liked Princess Mononoke. I used it for a school project)
Frankie's the younger younger younger one. He's not old enough to be in the band.
I think we can take this as a sign that Disney officially participates in the buying and selling of the souls of desperate, yet mediocre individuals and by extension their entire families.
Also, Lin from Spirited Away is Megara from Hercules.
I hope I can watch this movie without gagging at the voices...though, I've liked the Miyazaki dubs in the past (even the contested Princess Mononoke, which was the first one I ever watched). We'll see what happens...
That's what happens when Disney is in charge of the dubbing. This is not really a surprise after all. Here are some previous Disney stars from the Miyazaki movies:
Princess Mononoke - Lady Eboshi: Jane from Tarzan (Minnie Driver)
Spirited Away - Zen/Chihiro: Lilo from Lilo and Stitch
Nausicaa - Boyfriend/Prince of Pagite: Shia Lebouf (Even Steven)
My Neighbor Totoro - Sisters: Dakota Fanning and younger sister
Kiki's Delivery Service - Kiki: Kirsten Dunst
Two people, I despise, really, really REALLY?! Jonas Brothers, Cyrus? Really? Is that neccesary?
I mean, Disney has done a great job with dubs in the past, I can't even watch Spirited Away in Japanese cause I'm like "This just sounds way too weird" and I thought that Kiki's Delivery Service was done beautifully, and all the rest. (Is it bad that I actually liked Princess Mononoke? O_O I will say, I died a little every time they said "AAA-SHII-TA-KA?!" All exagerated and stuff. gr...)
This is worse then when I found out that Jesse McCarthy did Roxas's voice (My heart almost failed that day).

I take no responsibility for that error and blame it all on Billy Ray and his ambiguous naming. Flippin' celebrity dads.

*shivers* It's scary to think that there are more Jonas Brothers.
That's definitely what Disney is doing.

@serenitytsu: I like the Streamline version of Totoro with Lisa Michelson and Cheryl Chase better frankly. It's like they were made for the part

Yeah, I suppose that I am a heartless bastard for thinking "TTGL had some amazing elements, but overall was terrible."
So yeah, overall TTGL was mediocre. Therefore I am evil.
Hahahahaha...

For the most part I'd agree, but Princess Mononoke shows (at least in my opinion) just how bad English dubs can get.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this one pans out.
