  • Adored by the Network:
    • Due to operating on a limited budget, old animes like Perusha or Kobo-Chan are often re-aired in the ill-fated Indonesian branch that only lasted for 8 years unlike other TV stations which managed to last up to present day in Indonesia.
    • Himitsu no Hanazono was re-run in 2016 and 2020, and is often featured on advertisements and promo images.
    • Spacetoon ran Magical Princess Minky Momo in 2020 and 2021, and every day during February 2023.
  • Dueling Dubs:
    • 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 different theme songs compared to the original version.
    • Batman: The Animated Series 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.
    • Bob the Builder has 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.
    • Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has two Arabic dubs, one for Baraem and one for Spacetoon.
    • Fairly OddParents has two Arabic dubs, one for Disney Channel and one by Venus Centre for Spacetoon.
    • Rolie Polie Olie 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 Smurfs (1981) 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.
  • Late Export for You: As a Pan-Arab Network, Spacetoon is this for a few Arabic countries where anime originally didn't air. It often broadcasts anime dubbed by prior Arabic studios (e.g. Al-Anoud Studios, Al-Sharq Al-Adnaa Studios and Al-Markaz Al-Arabi Studios) like Lady!!, Honoo no Alpen Rose, Hello! Sandybell and a few World Masterpiece Theater shows.
  • Unfinished Dub: Regarding Garfield and Friends, the Venus Centre dub for Spacetoon only dubbed the Garfield segments, removing the U.S. Acres segments all together. The opening was also edited to only feature clips from the Garfield segments (with only 3 parts of the original opening kept in). Garfield segments were censored too. Look at this video, for example.
