I bought the Japanese DVD of the obscure Sanrio/Murakami-Wolf animated film "The Mouse And His Child" a while back with the intention of doing sort of a remaster using the English dialog track from the VHS rip that has been floating around.
I've finally started on the project and I figure I will attempt to find a way to remove the Japanese title overlay at the beginning and restore the English credits at the end. I'm about two-thirds of the way through re-syncing the VHS audio to work with the DVD video.

Ha ha. I was just thinking of this film yesterday. I have a bootleg DVD I bought off an eBay-seller about ten years ago. It was transferred from the US VHS, but is reasonably clean. I wasn't aware of the Japanese release, so I am looking forward to seeing your project finished.
By the by, we are likely the only two people on the planet who will find interest in this project. I tried showing it to my kids and they hated it :-)

Yeah, Sanrio fans and people who remember the movie from when it was released are probably going to be the most likely to be interested. I'm using the audio off the VHS transfer that was used for that bootleg with light filtering to remove some of the hiss and noise. The reel breaks on the VHS tape also cut out bits of footage that are in the Japanese version. Fortunately, the parts that were missing were mostly silent.
If this one works well, I also have the Japanese DVD for Nutcracker Fantasia along with the VHS rip that's floating around. I might try to redo that one as well.
