Dubbed films and TV series make me Hulkaloid. It's a completely ridiculous hatred, but I'd rather watch a film in the original version even if I don't speak a single word of the language involved. This is despite having nothing against dubbing artists themselves and indeed having worked with them on a couple of occasions.
Cartoons are not quite as bad because the mouth movements are usually more vague, so it jars less, but still. Nothing worse than watching someone riding across the Mongolian steppes and sounding like they're inside a broom cupboard.

I would rather have subtitles any day. I watched the three hour German epic that was Downfall. I'm so glad it wasn't dubbed.

I've seen a couple of Polish films where rather than dub with different actors, they have one man simply talk over it in Polish, playing all the parts simultaneously, in the same monotone drawl.
It's most bizarre.
