* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess'' is no masterpiece, but one way it gathered a [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff healthy fanbase in Italy]] in spite of its flaws was through its great dubbing cast (Creator/FabrizioManfredi for Derek, Creator/LauraBoccanera for Odette, Creator/FrancescoPannofino as Rothbart, Creator/AlessandroRossi as Speed and Creator/MinoCaprio as Puffin just to name a few) that injected the characters with more life, not to mention the excellent adaptation of the songs into the Italian language, "This Isn't My Idea Of Fun" (''Così Non Si Può Giocar''), "For Longer than Forever" (''La Voce dell'Amore'') and the VillainSong being fondly remembered stand outs. Upon listening to the original dub through WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review, several Italian fans have found it to be inferior to their dub, particularly Creator/JackPalance's Rothbart compared to the [[EvilSoundsRaspy raspy]] [[LargeHam ham]] zest Pannofino brought to the character, who also ''sang'' his VillainSong beautifully without needing a singer replacement, same goes with Manfredi and Boccanera.

* The voices of some contestants on the Dutch dub of ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama Island]]'' matched their English counterparts so well, that it is truly uncanny. In cases where the voices don't match up, the Dutch voice actually improves upon the English version (Chris [=McLean=], for example, was voiced by Creator/BarryAtsma in a mocking BadassBaritone voice in the Dutch version).

* @/{{Judasmartel}} : The Tagalog dub of LightNovel/KonoSuba features four rookie voice actors pulling off their roles quite well considering this is one of their first projects as professionals. While Richmon Manalo doesn't quite capture the snark of Creator/RyotaOhsaka as Kazuma, Romi Jallorina as Aqua sounds very much like Creator/SoraAmamiya speaking in Tagalog, especially with her hilarious {{Freak Out}}s. Austine Espino as Megumin almost perfectly pulls off the upbeat and confident explosion wizard that is Creator/RieTakahashi, while Grace Dalisay pulls off Darkness' shy knight voice very well.

* František Filipovský was the main Czech dub actor for the French actor Louis de Funès, and made his films just as iconic, if not more, as they were in the original. None of the subsequent attempts to dub Louis de Funès into Czech have been successful in comparison.
* The Czech dub of the Literature/{{Winnetou}} films definitely played a large role in their popularity in the country. Old Shatterhand's dub actor, Vladimír Ráž, was the lead actor from one of the most popular Czech fairy tale films of all time: the voice of the quintessential [[TheGoodKing Good King]] of Czech popular consciousness was without question the best possible choice for the hero. Winnetou's voice as presened by Stanislav Fišer was equally striking, and the rest of the characters were often also dubbed by various luminaries of Czech stage and screen, so the German original comes across as rather flat in comparison.

* The original Italian dub of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' deserves some props. For starters, it's one of the few dubs where Shinji doesn't have a whiny or high-pitched voice, despite being voiced by a man. His VA is fantastic in the dramatic scenes, outclassing Creator/SpikeSpencer by a mile. While Asuka is a tad underpowered, especially when she's angry, the rest of cast (particularly Maya, Kozo, and Yui) match up perfectly with their Japanese counterparts. It's easily the best foreign dub of the show out there, and it makes watching ''EOE'' a whole new experience.[[note]]About the only real issue overall is that [[NoPronunciationGuide nobody can pronounce Asuka's name correctly]], using both "a-ZOO-ca" and "A-zoo-ca" instead of the correct "ASS-ca" (which is in fact an awkward pronounciation for native Italian speakers), but it's easy to get used to.[[/note]]

* ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' is probably the best Norwegian dub of a Disney movie, mostly because of the voice actors of Basil and Ratigan, Knut Risan (Basil) and Helge Jordal (Ratigan). Both of them were know for being very [[Main/LargeHam hammy actors]]. So exept Main/HamToHamCombat when both of them are in the same scene.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''
** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX''
** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' in Dutch is undoubtedly very well done, but what really sells it is Annet Nieuwenhuijzen's [[EvilIsHammy incredibly hammy]] and psychotic performance as Madame Medusa. She really takes the AxCrazy aspect of the character UpToEleven.

* Just because a series is listed here does not necessarily mean the the dub is ''superior'' to the original, just that it is very good in its own right.
