I hope my impressions aren't misleading.

The trailer for the English version has just hit. Here's my thoughts on the trailer:
The animation is absolutely beautiful, just what I'd expect from a Miyazaki film. I'll definitely be going to see this without question.
As for the voices:
Liam Neeson as Fujimoto: this is quite different from what I was expecting, but it sounded pretty fine to me. (Keep in mind I have not seen the Japanese version, so I have no preconceptions on how the characters should sound.)
Lisa: The one line I heard sounded a little monotone, but I hope that this is just one line. Still not a breaker.
Frankie Jonas as Sosuke: Better than I thought! Granted this was only one line, but it didn't sound lacking to me in any way. I don't have an overall opinion of the performance, but hopefully it'll be believable enough to assuage any naysayers (I think they'll hate on it either way).
Cate Blanchett as Granamamare: Very close in tone in Galadriel. Nice.
Noah Cyrus as Ponyo: Very difficult, because the only lines I've heard from her so far are giggles and some shouts. But they sounded fine to me. Again, I expect haters to dogpile on her either way, but what I heard did not sound like anything to scream about.
All in all, I think this is shaping up to be yet another terrific Disney-Ghibli dub. Of course, the rabid naysayers will hate it no matter what, but I haven't been disappointed in any of their dubs so far, and Ponyo seems to be another promising addition to the "family".
I'm looking forward to this.

Sorry if I'm late on replying but I think I might have a few guesses as to who these characters might play. Now these could only be guesses. They aren't 100% correct.
Now Liam Neeson and Cate Blanchett getting roles in the dub already makes it a winner for me.
Though I would see it this way:
Liam Nesson would be Ponyo's father Fujimoto. The way he talks as Aslan matches the exact tone of the original Japanese voice (Seeing as how I've seen the movie in Japanese with NO Subs XD)
Cate Blanchett would have to be Ponyo's mother Granmamare (spelling?). She has the voice for the character. Ponyo's mother always talked in a calm graceful voice and I think she would do well.
Tina Fey I'm guessing would be Risa (or Lisa from what I've heard), Sosuke's mom. I'm not too familiar with her work, so I can't really judge this.
Tina Fey was a popular SNL writer, including writing the now-famous "Palin and Clinton" sketch, has also written and starred in
Mean Girls
, and made a small cameo in the Aqua Teen movie.

I guess we'll have to wait until next year to find out.
