if that makes any sense?

In this thread overdubbing means putting new voices over the old. If a film's dialogue is japanese, you can round up some actors and try to record english dialogue and put that in the movie instead. It's an alternative to subtitles.

Overdubbing is also a common recording technique.

Here you can see Dio adding vocals to a song. The band are not playing, they've been recorded earlier - instead he's just listening to their recording on heaphones while singing the lyrics. When you record bits separately and put them together like that, it's called overdubbing. You add more recordings to earlier recordings and together they eventually (hopefully) make up the end result you're after.

.. Yeah, a bit bored at work today

I thought Del Toro was Mexican not Spanish though.

Films are dubbed since a long time here and yes, except a minority of cinema enthusiasts, a wide part of people prefer dubbed movies. This is perhaps why French peoples are not very fluent with foreign tongues.

^ Yeah the French are the worse! I remember once, having the TV stuck on TV5 for 2 weeks straight, I watched a french dubbed "White Chicks" five times ! [although turned out better than the original :P]

But nothing is better than French South Park: "Ils ont tué Kenny!" "Espèces d'enfoirés!"

When I was in Quebec shows like the Simpsons and South Park would air in French, I had seen those episodes in English before so I had a good idea of what was going on, it was just very weird to hear characters I'm so accustom to speaking in a different voice, Homer just sounds unnatural. I have no problem with overdubbing or subtitles though. If it's a foreign film I'd obviously be completely lost without captions.

^Appreciated !!!

I still have South Park the movie in french on VHS!
I think french South Park is the only thing I remember from my first visit to Montreal.

He is Mexican, but Pan's Labyrinth is a Spanish-Mexican co-production, and was filmed in Spain with Spanish actors.
