History DuelingDubs / WesternAnimation

* In Italy, there are two different dubs for all the three seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and the movie. Seasons 1-2 were redubbed in 2008, with Creator/DiegoReggente and Giovanni Petrucci (Respectively Optimus Prime and Sparkplug Witwicky's first voice actors in the original dub) coming back on their characters while Germano Basile reprised his role as Bumblebee from the second dub of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie''. The second dub of Season 3 was originally going to be done along with the first two seasons, but because of many issues they had to scrap that. A new dub of that season was done in 2011 by a cast made by the hosts of ''Contactoons'' (a regionally syndicated cartoon program that aired the series in that period), members of a [=YouTube=] fan dubbing team, and a bunch of students from a Turinese voice acting school[[note]]Some of which became more famous voice actors: for example, Silverbolt's voice actor later voiced Ryo in ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', while Blurr's voice is mostly known nowadays as the voice of Clyde from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''[[/note]], resulting in an inferior job compared to the redub of the first two seasons. The same team also dubbed "The Rebirth", which was skipped back then to follow the Japanese continuity with ''The Headmasters''.

* ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' has two Russian dubs: one by the SV-Kadr studio for [=TNT=] and one made by Ukraine's Pilot studio. The Pilot dub was made as part of a larger incentive by companies to produce quality Russian dubs of TV shows using cheap Russian-speaking Ukrainian talent (a notable other example being the early seasons of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', also dubbed into Russian by Pilot)

* ''WesternAnimation/WolvesWitchesAndGiants'' got two Norwegian dubs. The first one was made for airing on the Channel TV2, while the second one was made for the DVD release.

*** IRIB TV2's dub is one of only two dubs to be official. It covered 2 seasons and was released from 2011 to 2016. The other official dub is MBC Persia's, which started at season 9.

* There exist two Norwegian dubs for ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace''. The first one aired on the channel NRK and was latter released on VHS. The second one aired on Fox Kids and was latter released on DVD. When the TV channel TV3 got the rights to air the show they used a mix of both the Fox Kids and NRK dubs, where they used the NRK dub on episodes Fox Kids had not dubbed into Norwegian. Norwegian actor Trond Brænne would appear in both dubs but as two diffrent characters. The first one as Henry, while the second one as Mr.Wilson.

** There are also two Arabic dubs, one for Disney Channel and one by Venus Centre for [=Spacetoon=].

* ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' was dubbed into Arabic twice. The first one (done in Syria by Venus Company) aired on [=SpaceToon=], while the second one (done in Egypt by Video 2000) premiered on Disney Channel Middle East and later aired on [=KidsCo=].

** The show received two Arabic dubs, the first one is distributed by Young Future Entertainment and dubbed by Venus Center for Spacetoon and the second one was dubbed by Image Production House for MBC 3 and Cartoon Network Arabic.

** There are three Arabic dubs, the first two of which were made by Tanweer and the third of which was made by Venus Center. The original Tanweer dub covers the classic series and the second Tanweer dub covers the ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' season. The Venus dub also covers the ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' season and was made for Spacetoon.

** It also had two Arabic dubs, both made in Lebanon. While the latter was made for the Arabic Cartoon Network (presumably because Turner Broadcasting could not get the rights to broadcast the original, as that dub's rights were held by Spacetoon), the original dub was restored for online and DVD releases.

* ''{{Literature/Babar}}'' has three Arabic dubs. One was done by Al-Markaz Al-Arabi Studios in Jordan in the 1980's for broadcast on various regional television stations, and another was done by Venus Company in Syria in the late 90's-early 2000's for Eastern Vision S.A. and Spacetoon, likely because the elements to the original dub were lost. The third one was done by Neo Productions in Egypt (probably for [=KidsCo=]). The first two dubs have [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong different theme songs compared to the original version]].

* ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'' was dubbed twice in Arabic. The first was done by Venus Company for Tele-Pictures Promoters International S.A. and the second was done for Jeem.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', a French animated series, has two official English dubs, one produced by Tabb Productions, which aired in Australia on television, and one made by Miam! Animation, which is available online on Vimeo. The name of the place the characters live in is "Smileyland" in the Tabb dub and "Super Cute Land" in the Miam! Dub[[note]]The Miam version is more close to the original[[/note]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'' has two Polish dubs: the first made in 1986 which covered only the first 26 episodes and the second made in late 90s that covered the whole series.

** ''Peanuts'' might be the most-dubbed cartoon ever in Brazil, with ''seven'' [[https://sanojhumber.blogspot.com/2016/04/CharlieBrownSnoopyShow-DUB.html Portuguese versions]]. And two of them were recorded by the same studio in a 17-year timeline.

** ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'' has three European French dubs: one during the 1970s, one for DVD in the mid 2000's, and another for Apple TV+ in 2020. Creator/AdelineChetail was the voice of Sally in the first dub, but Lucy in the second dub.

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeysChristmasCarol'' received two Norwegian dubs. The first one was made in the early 90s for the VHS release, while the second one was made in 2001 for the ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' Christmas special where the short was featured in together with other shorts.
** There are also two Italian dubs. The second one was done in the 90's when Disney chose a new voice cast for the classic characters and asked to redub everything with those voice actors. In a confusing way, later remasters use the newer dub but have dub credits for the original one.

*** It was also dubbed into Latin Spanish four times: the 1966 dub from Mexico, the 1981 dub from Chile, the 1995 dub from Venezuela, and the 2020 dub from Mexico for Apple TV+. The 1981 dub was used for an alternate SAP language option on US television until 2020 when the fourth dub was commissioned. The 1995 dub was originally made for ''You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown'' and was distributed for most DVD releases in Mexico.

* The British version of the French cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' has received three different narrations: the original BBC dub by Eric Thompson from 1965-1977, the second by Nigel Planer, and the third by Jimmy Hibbert. The second dub by Nigel Planer was made for Channel 4 between 1992 and 1993, mostly consisting of new re-tellings of episodes previously narrated by Thompson, along with narrating new French episodes in 1993. The third dub by Jimmy Hibbert was done during the early 2000s and was closer to the French scripts, although the characters still retained their English names. Reruns of the show on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}} randomly switched between the two re-dubs, although a majority of episodes during this run included Planer's narration.

** ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'' has two European French dubs: one for DVD in the mid 2000's, and another for Apple TV+ in 2020. Creator/AdelineChetail was the voice of Sally in the first dub, but Lucy in the second dub.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow'' also had 2 French dubs, 1 for TF1 (1975) & 1 for FR2 (1981)

** The Italian dub is usually recorded in Rome, but for some reason the second season was recorded in Turin. That season was redubbed by the usual cast in 2013.
** The Latin American Spanish dub was originally done in Venezuela in 2006 for Boomerang. When Discovery Kids acquired the rights to ''Peppa'', they redubbed the whole series in Mexico.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Make Way For Noddy]]'' has two European Portugese dubs. The first, ''Abram Alas para o Noddy'', aired on RTP and Canal Panda in 2002, while the second, ''Aí Vem o Noddy'', was made for [=JimJam=] in 2016.

* There's an interesting case for the Brazilian Portuguese version of ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1964''. The first dub was originally made in 1979 and the songs were left in English, but the dub was broadcast on [=SBT=] during the 1980s, the songs were dubbed with newly-recorded instrumentals. A second dub was made by Alamo during the 90s but is currently lost.

* The first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues'' were re-dubbed into English in Singapore in the early 2000s because it was too expensive to keep paying royalties to the celebrity voices.

* The British version of the French cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' has received three different narrations: the original BBC dub by Eric Thompson, the second by Nigel Planer, and the third by Jimmy Hibbert. The second dub by Nigel Planer was made for Channel 4 in the early 1990s, to cover certain episodes which have not yet received an English translation (along with new re-tellings of episodes previously narrated by Thompson; a majority of which were released to VHS in 1993 and 1997). Reruns of the show on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}} randomly switched between the two re-dubs, although a majority of episodes during this run included Planer's narration.

* ''WesternAnimation/FrankeldasBookOfSpooks'' was dubbed into English twice: Once for its initial Latin America only HBO Max release by BKS and a second time in 2023 by Keyword Studios for its official American and Canadian release, which brought back the original Mexican performers of the three leads back to reprise their roles.

** The show had its first 11 episodes dubbed in Swedish by Media Dubb for TV3 from 1988 to 1990. The rest of the episodes were later commissioned during 1991-1993 by KM Studios for SVT, which also re-dubbed those same 11 episodes.

** The show reiceived two Arabic dubs, the first one is distributed by Young Future Entertainment and dubbed by Venus Center for Spacetoon and the second one was dubbed by Image Production House for MBC 3 and Cartoon Network Arabic.

*** Parsian Studios' dub is the only complete dub, and has gained infamy on the internet for its [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/international-entertainment-project/images/c/c5/Sandypsimcensor.png poor censorship]] and the fact that it has been used for '''military propaganda.''' [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, we're not kidding.]]

** For unknown reasons, the original theme song was redubbed in Poland for reruns in 2006. The episodes were, however, left intact.

** Nickelodeon's English voice cast recorded four one-hour specials summarizing Seasons 1-2, the entirety of Seasons 3-6, and the first movie. Seasons 5 and 6 were co-productions with Nick and Rainbow (both operated by Creator/{{ParamountGlobal}}), during which the animation was done to match Nickelodeon's English voices.

* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat'': The 2004 series has at least three Polish dubs: one by [=TVP=] (which continued the tradition of TalkingToHimself from previous series, as Jerzy Kramarczyk still voices all the characters in this dub), one by Start International Polska for [=CBeebies=], and one by Master Film for [=MiniMini=].

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' has two Spanish dubs for both Spain and for Latin America. What's interesting is that for whatever reason, the Latin dub, which was done in Mexico, has a large number of pop culture references in its translation. In comparison, the dub in Spain is more or less a direct translation of the original English version.

* ''WesternAnimation/Heathcliff&theCatillacCats'' was dubbed into Polish twice, 1st in 1990 and again in 1998 for TVN. A voiceover dub also exists.
