War of the Birds (1992 English dub)

In 1993, Garrett Fredrickson acquired the Danish movie War of the Birds for an English language release. Because of the movie's content, approximately 30 seconds were deleted. The dub's cast included Barbara Goodson, Cheryl Chase, Jonathan Winters, Mona Marshall, George C Scott, Frank Welker, Brad Kane, Jim Cummings and Charlie Adler. Among the 30 seconds of footage deleted, the movie's original score was replaced by a brand new score composed by William Finn and Bruce Broughton, and there were various differences between the original Danish script and the English language script. The film was eventually released in May of 1994 by indie film distributor October Films, where it was a flop at the box office and received polarized reception from critics, although the movie's art style was lauded by critics. Although it has seen a DVD release from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, it's currently one of Fredrickson's more lesser known movies.
