Movies can absolutely be better dubbed. It's incredibly rare in live action, but not so much with animation

I will agree with you animation is a special case where it can happen. But in general and in my experience, it's not common even in this case.

Spanish dubs of animé are sometimes good. All English dubs I've heard are atrocious. I remember one of the first dubs that was lauded was the English dub of Princess Mononoke... and it's hilariously bad, even if it has big names doing the voices. The Japanese version is the best, but even the Spanish dub is better.
