'Ronja, the Robber's Daughter' streams on Amazon January 27th
Studio Ghibli fans don't have too much longer to wait before setting sights on Ronja, the Robber's Daughter. All 26 episodes of the English dub will debut January 27th on Amazon Prime Video, according to Entertainment Weekly. Based on the trailer below, at least, the voice overs and lip sync don't seem particularly offensive, but there is a glaring lack of Gillian Anderson's narration throughout.
Amazon to stream Ghibli-produced 'Ronja, the Robber's Daughter'
Amazon's children's video offerings are expanding once again. This time it's with an animated version of Ronja, the Robber's Daughter. That name might sound familiar if you were assigned a book report in 5th grade for Astrid Lindgren month but didn't want to read Pippi Longstocking. The details of the show's production are a little convoluted, so bear with me. It's directed by Goro Miyazaki and hasn't made it outside of Japan and the Scandanavian region. Goro is the son of famed Studio Ghibli mastermind Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle), and Studio Ghibli co-produced this project. That version came out back in 2014.
