Okay, I take offence to that: there's plenty of good dubs from Brazil. Hercules, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, Toy Story, the DCAU.
I won't deny the quality of dubs has been getting increasingly worse since about 2005 or so, especially when it comes to translations and sound mixing (Christ, the mixing in Avatar is the stuff of nightmares), but don't go dumping everything in the same basket.

Honestly, I dislike almost all of them. Barring the occasional good voice actor (the guy who does Goku, for example, does a stellar job of that), I find them all really weak, even the ones from before 2005. I grew up watching all of those you mentioned in the 90s, and quite frankly, I find them really bad these days.
Although admittedly the Disney dubs were rarely actually bad, just not particularly good either.
I'm with Muffins, honestly, in that we have some pretty good dubs, particularly when it comes to animation.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Because they know what kind of storytelling the audiences will respond well to. And also, they probably don't see themselves as being assholes.

"...in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."Geoff recently posted a video, this time about a classic anime, Initial D
I've only watched the anime, not the video, and I can understand why. I was dubious that the anime would be able to capture the feeling of speed with oldish animation that would have that high a budget. The audio sold it far harder than I thought it would.

Today Mother's Basement covers the OP of the anime classic Shrek!
Shame the rest of the light novels haven't been adapted yet. I want to see the Rescue Donkey Arc!
