My Neighbor Totoro

I've seen (and own) Princess Mononoke and wouldn't mind seeing Kiki and Castle in the Sky.
Looking forward to

In any event, it has nothing to do with translation (they speaky English in Australia, dig?). It was renamed for the U.S. because the original Mad Max flick barely got a release in America, so it was deemed the 2 in the title would have been unnecessarily confusing.

Un long dimanche de fiançailles
A Very Long Engagement forgets the "sunday" in the title, but the Germans just call it Mathilde, probably cuz it recalls Amélie as a French name and it's Audrey Tautou again...

last one i saw here is Cindirella Man, which i find a poetic title, whose "German" title is das Comeback, now, they wanna change the title, they're not even capable of finding something remotely original, or poetic, or even... German!
