Of Castle of Cagliostro?

It's Miyazaki's first feature-lenght anime, and the only one I haven't seen yet.
And I wanted to get it from Amazon, but I couldn't find any with correct dubbing/subbing.
I know that there is an USA release with a correct translation, but on the UK release (which was the only one I found) was a version with the bad translation that is completely different than the original Japanese script, and even the subtitles have the same script.

oh. well.......hmmmm.....I think thats the only region 2 dvd of the film you can get. You're better off watching it in its original jap version w/subtitles or buying a region-free DVD player w/a copy of the region 1 version.

Well, after searching everywhere on the internet and reading tons of reviews, I decided that I'll get this region 2 release.

They say that while the translation doesn't follow literally the JP version, but it's still not bad and the voice acting is great (much better than the newer dub).

Also I watched both the Hungarian and English dub on my Porco Rosso DVD, and while the scripts are way different (I don't know which is closed to the Japanese but I don't even care), they are both good and they give the same experience.
Many people say that while this release of CoC does have some mistranslations (like Kouichi Zenigata called Inspector Kouichi Zenigata, while Kouichi means "Inspector"), the whole experience is still good.
