Film: Great Job, Internet!: Top voice actors give new life to Star Wars at script reading

via A.V. Club by Marcus Gilmer on 5/24/12

It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything Star Wars-related here, but this seems awesome enough to warrant mentioning. At the Emerald City Comic Con (that’d be Seattle) in March, a host of entertainment’s best voice actors gathered for a special in-character script-reading of Star Wars Episode IV. And by “in-character,” we mean in the voice of each actor’s most popular voice-over character. So you have Billy West playing Dr. Zoidberg as Luke Skywalker (at the 29:16 mark). See? Fun times.

Ghibli 101
The greatest animation studio in the world, bar none—and yes, that includes Pixar—Japan’s Studio Ghibli is largely dedicated to the work of two brilliant directors, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, who co-founded the animation house in 1985 with producer Toshio Suzuki. Thanks to movies like My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke, as well as a sustained publicity campaign by Ghibli’s U.S. distributor, Disney, Miyazaki’s name is well-known to animation buffs, as well as the parents of many a delighted preteen. Takahata’s work isn’t as well known, in no small part because he hasn’t directed a feature in 13 years. But in the studio’s first decade and a half, the two traded masterworks on a regular basis, working in disparate but complementary styles.
