This page should mention some how the rip Macek did of Näussicca of the Valley of the Wind as Warriors of the Wind, and Miyazaki's subsequent decition (based directly in Macek's rip_ of never releasing any of his movies out of japan (however this has changed with the Disney-Tokuma deal).
Fortunately for him, Carl Macek didn't do Warriors of the Wind or he'd probably be dead by now, LOL. We have New World Pictures (Roger Corman's company) to thank for WOtW. Laputa was distributed by Streamline but the dub had already existed for a few years, courtesy of Tokuma. The only Miyazaki movie that Macek personally directed the dub for was Totoro. Surprisingly, it was a decent job, for him. Yours, The Stranger.

[edit] Point of View
He was once interviewed on Point of View by Derwood Rowell for the American Channel 11 network. What does this refer to? If there is a network in the USA called "Channel 11" it is extremely obscure at best and more likely nonexistent. There are numerous television stations in the USA which can be found at channel 11 on the VHF dial, but they do not form a network. Google provides no useful information, just copies of this article. --Metropolitan90 03:25, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
- I'll agree, there is no "Channel 11 Network" in the US that I'm aware of, and as you said, Google provides no help there. With a complete lack of verifiability, I'm removing that line. If the person who put it in wants to restore it, providing some key details like date, and some info about what the "Channel 11 Network" is would be very nice. --Wingsandsword 07:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV anyone?
Wow this is not encyclopedia-worthy, very POV oriented against Macek. Kit 20:08:02, 2005-08-28 (UTC)
Agreed. In particular, the term "Macekre" is apparently an attempt to coin a neologism (google only finds copies or rewrites of this article) 168.12.253.82 16:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- One reason you might not be able to find this term is that it's spelled different ways. Here are examples from Google Groups that date back a decade ago:
It's interesting how some of these posters a decade ago now work in the anime industry themselves. 69.181.142.130 17:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dub vs Sub
A significant portion of the anime fandom watches exclusively subtitled anime Is there proof of this anywhere? With the "new wave" of anime fandom thanks to things like Cartoon Network, can we prove that this is still true today?
[edit] Carl before Anime?
Some of us knew Carl when he ran the Westwood branch of the American Comic Book Co. - Sparky 06:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Some mention of Stramline employee Fred Patton would be nice.
