Turning Red v Wish Dragon are both kindof Asian-oriented kids movies with pretty decent messages and "mature" topics if you watch them with an adult mindset. Those both kindof felt "cash grabby" but I didn't feel like I wanted my time back after watching them.
Luca (to me) was just so dull I barely remember the plot or message.
Encanto (v Puss in Boots Last Wish) both had a lot of "Soul" (Soul, and Inside Out being other really good animated movies), and I'd happily watch any of them again.
I guess.
I'd just be happy with some Russian Scifi dubbed for the first time to begin.
On Wish Dragon I was disappointed they referenced the game as chess, when clearly that was pandering to the English audience. It would be nice to fix that, it doesn't feel like that was the directors decision.
But sure, George Lucas could stuff a lot of dialogue up.
To me the concerns that original dialog will be lost are simply not real. If anything they can be restored if you have just the subtitles/original script
I think fan fiction re-dubbing could be really interesting. I think some movies could be turned around on the dialogue alone.
But to fear the authenticity of movies is at stake while spreading the worlds media across cultures, no, to many data hoarders to be losing original audio these days, I think we are safe.
And obviously on Khan Academy etc you do want to alter it. That's the point. Fix mistakes. Change things for different cultures. Speak a little clearer.
