Don't worry about anyone being elitist over subs versus dubs. There's a lasting stigma because some older dubs really sucked, but these days dubs are almost always good. Voice acting is taken a lot more seriously as a profession, and they don't cut corners anymore when it comes to hiring good talent.

It's been a long time since I watched Spirited Away, it is old enough to come from that era when some dubs were bad, but this was a high budget film and they put a lot of love and care into bringing it to the west. I definitely loved it as a kid.

I would argue against this, just because there's so many speed dubs that come out as fast as possible, like weeks after the shows air. They can be pretty bad depending on the show! But yeah most movies have great dubs.
