Summary: A Review on the DVD--not the VHS
Review: yes, folks, believe it or not, there is a difference between the DVD and the VHS versions. the VHS version is _edited_, so naturally the music is changed and a few scenes deemed too "violent" have been removed. i sympathize with those who have only the one version to watch. while there are plently of flaws in the dubbed version supplied on the DVD, the music remains, making the DVD much more palatable.the main flaw present in the dubbed version (of both DVD and VHS, naturally) is the poor quality of the outer senshi voice actresses. they were poorly recorded and badly scripted, and this mistake does detract a lot of pleasure from the movie for those fans who love the outer senshi. but the majority of the voice acting ranges from tolerable to excellent. the inner senshi (mars, venus, mercury, jupiter, and moon) maintained their usual standard of dubbing, subject to whatever your personal opinion might be regarding this. there were some unusual discrepances, however, in the voice of sailor venus and that of mina. luna's voice was the same, of course, a bit of a disappointment. it was difficult to picture this grandmother falling in love with kakeru. on the other hand, the voices of himeko and kakeru were outstanding. himeko even pronounced "kakeru" correctly. additionally, the quality of the dub doesn't matter on the DVD because the subtitled version is also present in this release. so each viewer can choose which version to favor. as for the DVD itself, it was techinically superior to the SMR release. better menus and lovely animation made going through the features quite a pleasure. the edited opening sequence was included for comparison, and it is very well cut to show scenes from each of the three movies. the one feature missing from this DVD that was nice on the SMR release is the edited version of the ending battle sequence. overall, and i know i am dissenting, i enjoyed the SMS dubbed version and the DVD. i definitely recommend it over the VHS for those people with DVD players.

Summary: Subbed part -Excellent...Dubbed Version? - Well....
Review: Ok, I have the DVD version. The subbed version has nothing wrong with it, so I will leave that alone. There is some problems with the Dubbed Version(Isn't it always...). I will agree with previous reviews that the Voice of Salior Uranus is too high and needs to be masculine. However, the culture in Japan is that when someone is translating the work into english, the voice needs to be a higher pitch. I think Pioneer did this by culture standards, which needs to be changed. I think I can live with Mini Moon. I would have like for them to keep Chibi Moon. This DVD does have the orginial music which is a MAJOR plus in buying the DVD version. All in all, it's ok. Change Uranus's voice before the dub!

Summary: Sailor Moon S - Totally Cool!
Review: I just got this movie today and I loved it. It's the first time I've gotten to see Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune and I thought they were very well done. Though I liked Sailor Moon R better, this one is definitely a must see! The only problem I caught was that they called Sailor Chibi Moon "Sailor Mini Moon". Come on people, that sounds like that guy from Austin Powers: The Spy who shagged me"!

Summary: Good, but slightly dissapointing
Review: It was a good movie. But the English voices of Uranus and Neptune AND PLUTO are all wrong! They should have aired SMS before airing SMS The Movie. It's all wrong because Neptune's voice needs to be more feminem. Uranus is like a tomboy, so her voice should be more...male. If you don't believe me, watch SMS. It was supposed to come out BEFORE the movie. And Pluto? Pluto appeared in the SMR series part 2, and she had a great voice! Now she's too loud and kind of annoying. The outer attacks are bad, too. They have the same attacks, only with their planet names at the beginning. Like World Shaking? It's now Uranus World Shaking. AND THEY GOT RID OF THE OUTER HENSHIN MUSIC! And Dead Scream is now Pluto Deadly Scream! If saturn were here, she'd whoop the snow witch's icey tail! They never said the outer's real names, though. Haruka is believed to be Corrin. Michiru is believed to be Michaelle. Setsuna is believed to be Sally? Hotaru is believed to be Holly. Who is Hotaru! Hotaru is only one of the most powerful senshi, Sailor Saturn! She can destroy the world, you know. She's the Messiah of Silence! I don't want to spoil the S season too much. And Mini Moon? it sounds so...cheap. I can't wait for S to come out in America in June 2000! I mean I'm a boy! I love sm!

Summary: Good for a laugh
Review: I own the subbed version of this movie and hoped (in vain) that the dub would be good. They cut out alot of the funny parts and gave the Outer Senshi horrible voices. Sailor Uranus is supposed to have a more boyish voice, yet they made her sound so girly! I've alwayshated the dubbed Luna's voice, but hearing it come out of her human form mouth was almost too much. The only things that even partially redeem it are the fact they left Kakeru and Himeko's names the same, some of the attacks closer to the originals, and they pronounced 'uranus' correctly. Other than that it was a total loss.

Summary: Sailor Moon - Hearts In Ice
Review: I purchased the SailorMoonS movie "hearts in ice." I must say that I was extremely disappointed with the results. Everyone, please pray that the voices of the outer senshi aren't the same in the new episodes.. here's the run-down on the outer senshi: -- Neptune -- The Voice: The best voice out of three Outer Senshi... it's normal. Attack Phrase: Although, I don't agree with the writers' decision to change it to "Neptune Deep Submerge" although it's a lot better than "Neptune Big Wave" like it could have been. The Others: They... again.. changed the transformation phrase.. writing out the "Make-Up!" part. and the essence of the Outer Senshi (the music) was cut and replaced by poorly produced DiC music from 1995. -- Uranus -- The Voice: Absolutely terrible. The voice actress is extremely disappointing. Her voice is extremely too feminine for the Uranus character. Attack Phrase: Changed to "Uranus World Shaking." Not a bad change again... BUT the voice actress RUSHES the three words into a two word phrase. It sounds horrible The Others: Again, "Make-Up!" was removed. The music was taken out too. -- Pluto -- The Voice: My personal disappointment. I loved the voice actress DiC used for Setsuna. Let's hope the new episodes of Sailor Moon bring her back! Attack Phrase: AHHH! Pioneer did a major wrong here.... the WHISPERED attack "Dead Scream" was changed into "Pluto DeadLY Scream" and was once again CRUNCHED into a two word phrase The Others: Same as Neptune and Pluto. The music and "Make-Up" gone. "Hearts In Ice" is a highly disappointing take of the essence of Sailor Moon, but I recommend it for younger viewers of the show. Any SERIOUS fans will want to purchase the DVD or the Subtitled Japanese Version of Sailor Moon S: The Movie.

Summary: Some things definitely don't compare with the subtitled.
Review: I'm a big dub fan, really... and R dubbed wasn't so bad. Even then, I ended up liking the subtitled version better. Now we get to S. Uh, yes, Mini Moon. What was wrong with Chibi-Moon? Was DiC afraid we couldn't handle a Japanese word? They kept other Japanese names, thankfully, like Himeko... though they could have been pronounced a bit better, but let's not split hairs. Now, the outers... you know, I absolutely adored the way Pluto sounded in the dubbed R series, before the movies here. I thought it was absolutely perfect. What happened? Pluto is rather soft-spoken. She's certainly *not* in this one. Uranus... ugh. I'm sorry, I've nothing nice to say about the voice of Uranus in this. It's all wrong, and it's not done well. One of the World Shakings in the movie comes out garbled... I don't know how it was kept. Neptune... there's hope, at least. She does sound much older than she's supposed to be, and she could use some work, but she's not that bad. Actually, the voice of the Ice Queen (does she have a name?) is rather pretty, and much more suited for a heroine than a villain. Overall, get the subtitled. It is far better than S dubbed.

Summary: Sailor Moon S is better then the other ones
Review: Sailor Moon S is almost the same as the Japanese movie only with English speech and a few other changes. The Outer Scouts (Neptune, Uranus and Pluto) don't seem to have names. And Sailor Chibi-Moon is Sailor "Mini" Moon. Sailor Neptune's voice really got on my nerves. But other then that, it's a great movie as a matter o fact the best movie I've seen! Better the Sailor Moon R and SuperS and any other movie in threaters! Buy it for sure!

Summary: RUN...it's MINI MOON !
Review: Buy the dvd and get the best of both worlds. The dubb has various anoying points about it like calling chibi moon, mini moon. And the outer senshi now add their planet names to their attacks just like the inners. OHH well, tis the price we pay just to not read subtitles for a while, when you get sick of the dubb you can get back to the better subtitled dialog. A fantastic movie despitethe annoying dubb. 5 MOONS UP !
