Unofficial English dub
I think it should be noted (at the very least in the trivia section) that an unofficial English dub of the movie has been produced, attributed to Silhouetted Productions, which appears to be an unpaid group of Animal Crossing fans. It uses all the English names for objects, places, and characters that come from the game, properly gives Kapp'n a pirate voice, keeps Ai and Yu's names, and, of course, is called Animal Crossing: The Movie. Part 1 can be seen here: [redacted] All of the characters are played by amateur voice actors, whose names are listed in the credits in part 2. (The Japanese credits are left intact, onscreen, but are not translated. The dubbing credits are listed alongside them.) I hope this info gets put into the site in some form or another.

Move to Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori
All promotional material I have seen for this film says 劇場版 どうぶつの森, or Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori, and I have not seen a single official instance of it being referred to simply as Doubutsu no Mori. I know Doubutsu no Mori (film) is a long-standing name on this wiki and others, including Wikipedia, but Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori is the full official title for the film, and thus the page title should reflect that. Additionally, this would remove any confusion with the Nintendo 64 game and would make referring to the film in articles easier ("Doubutsu no Mori (film)" or "the Doubutsu no Mori film" in a sentence sounds awkward and "Doubutsu no Mori" is too ambiguous). The former name could still be noted as a common colloquial name on the page. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 15:30, October 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * Yes, It’s me, The Infinite Frog, BendyGamer338. I didn’t know that Gekijōban was a word for the full title of the film. Thanks! ~bendygamer (talk) 19:26, October 5, 2020 (EDT)
 * The English name for the page should accurately reflect the romanization of the Japanese title. Although I doubt many people will know what 'Gekijōban' means. My concerns are mostly for film: On the one hand, maybe more users will click on a link to that page to find out what Gekijōban means... but on the other, maybe we should try and be more clear/make sure people know what Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori refers to? Should we change film's output to Animal Crossing: The Movie (linked to this page with the Japanese romanization)? Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  22:32, October 5, 2020 (EDT)
 * We could always style the link with a visual indicator (e.g. 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori) :p --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 08:38, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * I actually really like this idea! :P Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  12:02, October 6, 2020 (EDT)

Was this released on DSvision?
The answer to this question isn't particularly important, but I just learned about the existence of the DSvision (a special DS-game shaped media cart that accepts MicroSD cards and allowed you to watch downloaded movies & anime episodes, read manga & novels, etc.) and I've become quite curious about it. This cart was associated with an online pay-per-download service only available in Japan. The library was initially rather limited, but I imagine this expanded over time. It seems like Pokemon had a large presence but I can't find anything about being released on the service, though I'm not skilled in reading Japanese so I can't verify this for certain. The official website was http://www.dsvision.jp (no longer working), though the waybackmachine has a few archived pages. Has anyone heard of this peripheral, or know of a definitive list of media released for it? This film was released on DVD about a year prior to the DSvision online service's debut.

Romanization
This page title should be "Gekijouban Doubutsu no Mori," per the Nookipedia Manual of Style, which states, "Other long vowels are represented with vowel sequences, as if they were sequences of the short vowels that they are spelled with in kana." In hiragana, the first word is げきじょうばん (gekijouban), where じょ (jo) is followed by う (u). Unless I'm misinterpreting the MoS. HylianAngel (talk) 00:18, March 20, 2023 (EDT)
