Dubbing History[]
The film was originally released on DVD in the US in 2003 by DreamWorks Home Entertainment, this release was however subtitle-only. Manga UK sublicensed the film from DreamWorks in 2005 alongside Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence and produced an English dub at Village Productions, Ltd. This dub would only be released in the United Kingdom however, and has since gone out of print.
In 2019, Eleven Arts gained the rights to the film and produced a new dub for the remastered theatrical screenings on August 13 and 19.[1] This dub would be recorded at VSI Los Angeles.

Notes[]
- This is Christopher Swindle's first anime dub not done at Studiopolis.
- Christopher Swindle was incorrectly listed as Christian Swindler in the press release for the VSI dub.
- In Manga Entertainment's dub, Regina Reagan voices Chiyoko Fujiwara as an adolescent, adult and elder, unlike the Japanese version and Eleven Arts' dub, which had the role split between three actors.
