I'm rewatching Spirited Away with English subs I grabbed off opensubtitles.org and I had already been confused by some phantom lines that didn't correspond to any spoken dialogue but this scene made it obvious what was happening- there's extra lines added in places where the characters are facing away from the camera michael-laugh

Either the subtitler was hallucinating or these originate from the dub. I grew up watching a VHS tape chomsky-yes-honey in Japanese with Finnish subtitles and I don't recall this scene having dialogue

The title is a link to a video though it doesn't show up as such

Pretty sure I've seen people embed videos in comments on hexbear before, it'd be nice if I knew how

Ah, thanks, I didn't realize it wasn't a text post.

Turns out the version I have only has Japanese and Russian audio. Both are silent during this scene.

Apparently the English localisation was handled by Disney. Going ham on the script sounds like a very Disney thing to do
