posted on by Andrew Osmond
Manga Entertainment has given ANN the voice-cast and other credits for the upcoming English dub of Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW. The film will be released on DVD and Blu-ray (pictured) on July 2. The dub was co-produced by Manga together with NYAV Post, which also worked on the dub of Summer Wars.
The science-fiction family film sees fifth grader Natsuki Ōyama and four of her schoolmates embark on an space-spanning adventure. Manga described the film as "the bastard love child of Studio Ghibli and Mamoru Hosoda." Susan Boyle, who became globally famous after performing on Britain's Got Talent, contributes her "Who I Was Born to Be" song as the theme of the film.
Natsuki is voiced by Stephanie Sheh, whose other parts include Hinata in Naruto, Mikuru in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Yui in K-ON! and Eureka in Eureka 7. Michael Sinterniklaas, the founder of NYAV Post, voices the character of Kiyoshi.
