History DuelingDubs / WesternAnimation

* ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' always had a Brazilian Portuguese dub of the animated shorts, but it had a very short lived European Portuguese dub that existed from 2015 and 2016.

* ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' has two English dubs. The first was done by The Kitchen Studios in the mid 2000's and only covered a handful of episodes. The second dub by [=BKS=] Dubbing Studios is a more refined dub, and has been going on the Monica Plus Website/{{YouTube}} channel since 2019.

*** 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.''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ii9DZlYCqU No, we're not kidding.]]
** There have been two different Serbian dubs: the first was the B92 dub which was produced from 2003 to 2017 and covers the first 10 seasons, and the VSI dub which airs on the local Nickelodeon branch and covers seasons starting with the 11th. The old dub became famous in Serbia for it's many {{Woolseyism}}s, to the point ''[=SpongeBob=]'' was the most watched program on the channel quite a few times. '''Among general audiences'''. Naturally, when the second dub came along (which is a much more straightforward translation of the English script) the fans were not amused and there have been fairly regular outcries to bring back the old cast ever since. The movies are a weird case: the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie first one]] ran either in Croatian or with subtitles in theaters, the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater second one]] was dubbed by the B92 team and [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun the third]] has two dubs: one for Creator/{{Netflix}} by the B92 team and the other for theaters by the VSI/Nickelodeon team.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' had three separate dubs. [[http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2010/03/confusing-history-of-tmnt-in-japan.html This blog page has more info]]

** In Italy, the [=SEFIT-CDC=] Group (based in Rome) dubbed the first four seasons of the show although it underwent some censorship, particulary cutting episodes that had heavy references to pedophilia or mockery of Catholicism ("Cartman Joins NAMBLA", "Do The Handicapped Go To Hell?", and "Probably"). It also contained softened dialogue. After production of the dub was suspended and the show moved channels from Italia 1 to Comedy Central, a new adaptation by ODS was commissioned, starting at season 5 and moving on to cover the rest of the show. As the studio was based out of Turin and not Rome, the entire cast was replaced. ODS would also go back and redub the first four seasons for consistency, including the episodes that were originally cut or heavily censored.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' received two Norwegian dubs. The first one was made for VHS and dubbed only the animated segments, while the second dub was made for airing on Fox Kids and also included the live-action segments. The episode clips from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendofZelda'' were left out in both dubs.

* ''WesternAnimation/TopCat'' was dubbed twice in Polish. The first was for VHS releases by Polskie Nagrania, and was called Kot Tip Top (lit. Tippy Cat). Because the first dub was incomplete, a new dub called Kocia Ferajna (lit. Catfellas) was made for Cartoon Network's Poland feed.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' has two Polish dubs: the first one made for Netflix (covering all the episodes) and the second one made for Comedy Central (covering first two series). Actors Anna Apostolakis and Przemysław Stippa appeared in both, with Stippa reprising roles of Mr. Meeseeks and Zeep.

* ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'' has two Brazilian Portuguese dubs. The first version was done in 1970 by TV Cinesom, with Domício Costa as Dastardly and Muttley, Henrique Ogalla as Zilly and Luiz Carlos de Moraes as Klunk. The second version was done in the mid-1990s by Herbert Richers, with Jorge Lucas as Dastardly, Luiz Carlos Persy as Muttley, Marcelo Torreão as Klunk and Henrique Ogalla reprising the role of Zilly. As of now, the 1990s dub is easily available for viewers, being the version featured on DVD and most of the TV reruns, while the original 1970 dub has become considerably rarer, appearing only in a few occasional cable TV reruns.

* ''ComicStrip/{{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. When the franchise premiered on Creator/AppleTVPlus, the specials were also redubbed.
** There are also three Italian dubs.

* The classic [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 TMNT]] 1987 cartoon was dubbed in Japanese -3- times by 3 different groups. [[http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2010/03/confusing-history-of-tmnt-in-japan.html This blog page has more info]]

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' might be the most-dubbed cartoon ever in Brazil, with ''six'' [[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.

* The French animated series ''WesternAnimation/Lastman'' was dubbed into English twice, once for the VRV streaming service and again for the show's DVD and Blu-ray release. Consensus among fans seems to be that the home release dub is far inferior, with stilted translations and poor direction. Jérémie Périn has stated that they initially planned to include the VRV dub, but couldn't, as it wasn't complete on time for their release schedule.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sonic Underground}}'' has been dubbed three times in Spain. The original dub from 1999, a 2010 redub for [=KidsCo=] and the 2016 redub for Netflix.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' has three European Portuguese dubs. One was broadcast on the Panda Biggs channel, another for Creator/CartoonNetwork, and another is shown on RTP 2 channel. The latter dub completely changes the name of the series and of [[DubNameChange many of the characters]] to names that are common in the country. The Cartoon Network dub keeps the original names of the characters and keeps the name of the series closer to its original English name. Sandra de Castro appeared in the Panda and SIC dubs, and Ana Vieira appeared in the Panda and Cartoon Network dubs as various female contestants.

** When the series was added onto Netflix, it was re-dubbed into European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Polish. Patrizia Scianca (Ralphie) and Creator/EmanuelaPacotto (Janet) returned for the Italian Netflix dub, while most of the Brazilian cast returned for ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBusRidesAgain''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' has two Brazilian Portuguese dubs. The original dub was done in the 90's by VTI, and the second dub was done by All Dubbing Group in 2021. The second dub tried to make the series more relevant by adding references to late 2010s/early 2020s Internet culture.

* Several early-dubbed Latin Spanish episodes from the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' ("Bob's Barnraising" and "Wendy's Busy Day" for example) were redone to keep up with the [[VocalEvolution vocal continuity]] of a few characters. (For example, in the early-dubbed episodes, Muck and Roley's Spanish voices were originally deeper, while Lofty's voice was a tad bit higher.)

** The earliest Brazilian Portuguese dubs of the cartoons were done twice during the 1960s by Cinecastro and TV Cinesom respectively. (A comparison between the '60s dubbings of a Bugs Bunny cartoon can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZvIFJdIs5U here]].) The newer dubs were made by Herbert Richers from the 80s to the 2000s. The later dubs are now the most common, with a consistent voice cast aside from [[TheOtherDarrin some changes]] (Creatir/MarioMonjardim dropped Bugs Bunny prior to ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'', Creator/GuilhermeBriggs has been Marvin since ''Westernanimation/DuckDodgers'').

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', yet again, in Hungarian. The original dub was created back when the show initially aired during the 90s on HBO, and is considered a masterpiece by many. In reality, it had its problems, and only covered the first half of the series. This dub was thought to be lost until 2010, when several episodes were reran on television with it (the rest of the HBO episodes are still unavailable). The second dub, made sometimes during the 2000s for a DVD release and later television showings, received criticism for its sub-par casting choices and lazy translation work. This version originally also covered just half of the episodes, and only Alfred and the Scarecrow retained their original voices. Around 2010, certain episodes were broadcast for the first time on the TV station [=Viasat6=] with a third dubbing variant, which recast all the voices. Finally in 2017, the rest of the series debuted on the channel RTL Spike -- these episodes used most of the still available voices from the DVD dub and a much improved translation. Despite this, there still doesn't exist a single dub variant that covers all episodes. Some are still broadcast with the old HBO dub, and the bizarre [=Viasat6=] episodes haven't been in circulation for a long time.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' was aired in Quebec as a European French dub. Fans didn't like it. After the show was UnCancelled (and had been running in English), they made a local Quebec French dub starting with season 8. Fans liked it even less.

** It also received two Czech dubs. The first dub was done from 1990-94, originally at Czechoslovak Television's Main Editorial Office of Foreign Programs, then in-house by ČST's successor Česká televize and then finally at Barrandov's studio for TV Nova (after Disney's cartoons made a ChannelHop to the newly-formed private channel). Notably, Creator/GeneDeitch, best known for his 13 ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoons, helped translate the scripts for the first 52 episodes. The second dub was done in 2004 by Studio Virtual and has aired on CT Déčko.
