Besides, the name Fry an absolute superlative in terms of nerdy-British-humour awesomeness, in case you're into that... (don't worry if you don't understand that video, he's deliberately brabbling pretentious nonsense there). | |

If you're from the continent, the British version will be easier for you to understand. If not, likely the American version. | |

| May 21, 2016 at 8:10 | comment | added | System | For someone who isn't English, is Stephen Fry's accent going to be more difficult to listen to? | |
| May 20, 2016 at 20:09 | comment | added | Academiphile | Jim Dale does this very very well, just by the way. | |
| May 20, 2016 at 19:29 | comment | added | NKCampbell | Aside from the two different narrators, music, and text? ;) IIRC - Jim Dale makes an effort to 'perform' different voices whereas Fry is doing a more straight reading of the text with less variance between the characters. If you enjoy hearing a 60+ yr old man attempt to voice a 12 yr old girl then Jim Dale is the way to go. | |
