These days, Disney primarily uses Toon City (Australia) and Wang Film (Korea) for their television animation and straight to video offerings.

Back in the 90's they used animation studios from all over the world, including Japan and France, but they still outsourced to Korea even back then (Sunwoo did a lot of their shows).

Technicality. By that aspect, no cartoons are American.

On top of that, Disney also had a French animation studio, and a Japanese one (just after they were using TMS services for Ducktales, Gummi Bears, and Rescue Rangers). I believe that Return of Jafar was animated at their Japanese facility.

Oh.. you mean the ones that are now out of print, overpriced and hard to find? Yeah. I know.

But I am referring to actual box sets with new dubs and all the special stuff the DBZ sets have, plus the easier to attain pricing.

After all, we don't have the original 13 episode saga available uncut.

[Anarchistguy]

It is (was) available uncut... I didn't know those were out of print...

Reality Show (Real World 2004 San Diego) contestant/actress Jamie Chung has been cast as ChiChi!

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...8afe2ed1581d89

Jamie Chung has joined Justin Chatwin and James Marsters in Fox's "Dragonball," the live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese comic.

James Wong is directing the science fiction action-adventure, which centers on an adult humanoid alien named Goku (Chatwin) who, after discovering he was sent to Earth to destroy the population, tries to fulfill the wish of his dying grandfather and collect all seven of the world's mystical Dragon Balls to keep them out of the hands of the evil aliens.

Chung will play Chi Chi, the love interest of Goku when he's growing up.

Marsters ("Buffy, the Vampire Slayer") plays the evil Piccolo, who tries to take over the world.

"Dragonball," which is being produced by Stephen Chow, is one of the most successful Japanese cultural exports of all time.

Jamie Chung is Korean-American.

As long as they get that High School crap out of there, it sounds meh. More meh than GOd all mighty, please please please let the Directors go on strike so this won't happen.

Jamie Chung is Korean-American.

2 things. Reality contestant. Well, it's all staged, so it seems like she could be an actress.

And secondly, ah! I see they're going for the One kind of Asian= every kind of Asian thing that hollywood does. Nice way to be progressive "liberal" hollywood.

Plus, she's hot. A little too hot to play sweet little ChiChi.

Mai, however.... I could see her as Mai.

That's all Tri-Mark's fault. They won't let the '13-ep & 1st movie' dub-onlys fall into obscurity, where they belong.

No. They were shown on Cartoon Network, probably edited for TV, and also only in dubbed format. The Trimark dubs were voiced by entirely different people. And, by uncut, I think he means sonically as well as visually (in other words, subbed).

Doesn't look at all like Chi-Chi. And, I keep forgetting that all Asians look alike.

[ZariusTwo]

Chi-Chi has long hair, but it's rarely seen (beyond her childhood in DB, the Piccolo arc, a flashback in Z and an infamous fanon Hentai comic)

That's not true some are uglier then others. Some are very pretty to, actually just like every race. As it is with any race if the person decides to make themselves look different they will. Most Asians are grown up to fear their parents and dress and act how they tell them to, which is basically how they dress and act. So it's very traditional and they end up looking the same.

Been there, dated that for 2 years, it's insane. Man do they HATE white people, actually their probably the most racist race I can think of from my experiences. And you may say my one example isn't enough to stereotype an entire race but I'm not the only one, ask virtually any non-Asian whose dated an Asian or an Asian girl about what her parents did to her past boyfriends.

Aha! So, that's the one similarity. Thanks.

I hope this doesn't mean you didn't note my sarcasm. But, aren't you saying that they are just like white (or black or brown or red or green)people in that some are conformists and some are rebels though? If not, I may need a little clarification.

Heh Heh. I got that sarcasm. Apparently Hollywood thinks that way. Hiringing Chinese guys to play Japanese guys... how come no one ever called racist on that?

Being Asian myself (yes, Indians are Asian, too!) I quote this for the motherf*cking truth.

Yeah their the same as everyone else but more controlling over their children then any other race.

It comes full circle after working in retail and trying to sell them stuff. I had an Indian co-worker at this dish store I worked at and they'd ask to speak to him instead of me when I'd approach them for help. That always sucked cause we got commission at that store. My pay was shorter when he was there but he was fun to talk to so it was a hard balance, be totally bored at work or make an extra 15 bucks a day.

Because it's not racist in the least? Come on now.

Seriously, they just need to look the part. Nothing wrong with ACTING like someone you're not in a movie.

More casting news!

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...a544c3e52a4bb4

Eriko Tamura (the Japanese "princess" on Heroes) has been cast as Mai

Joon Park has been cast as Yamcha. Joon Park is a former member of the Korean boy band G.O.D and is one of the evil asians in Speed Racer.

Emmy Rossum has also been cast but there's no word on who she plays. Im thinking Bulma. She was pretty good in "The Day After Tomarrow"

Gah! I was pushing for Ando from Heroes to play Yamchua. But then again, these kinds of productions are infamous for NOT hiring fans of the show. Other whise Mr. Harris wouldn't have been so upset with how Underdog came out (he's the creator, doncha know).

Seriously, is it just me, or should the girl playing Chi Chi play Mai, and the girl playing Mai play Chi Chi? I Mean, somehow, I see Chi Chi as a sweet little girl and Mai as a wanna be dominatrix that somehow became a spy.
