| Over the Hedge (2006) |
| Japanese title: Mori no Ritoru Gyangu (Little Gangsters in the Wood) |
| On April 24, 2006, the list of the Japanese cast who have dubbed the voices of the characters of the US animation film, "Over the Hedge" was announced. And guess who has dubbed the Racoon RJ voiced by Bruce Willis. The answer is Koji Yakusho! Reportedly, Koji Yakusho agreed to do the job of dubbing, after accepting an eager request by DreamWorks, the production company, who has decided on Koji Yakusho for the reasons that his age and quality of voice were close to those of Bruce Willis, and because Koji is already internationally well-known. Koji, who finished the dubbing session in mid-April, commented, saying, g I made a great effort to convey the atmosphere of RJ created by Mr. Bruce Willis but actually, I found it rather difficult. I do love RJ's amiable character, thoughh "Over the Hedge" will be screened during the 2006 Cannes Film Festival as one of the "Out of Competition" movies. |
