Cartoon Network International News Thread 26.0

[RegularCapital]

My theory of why there were few international dubs for Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? was because the execs didn't like Robot Jones's text-to-speech voice in Season 1, by the time Season 1 was redubbed and Season 2 was dubbed, the show was cancelled anyway, therefore there was little incentive to do so.

I don't know where it is dubbed if they didn't do it at Masriyah Media. I guess they went to the ones where SpongeBob SquarePants (Series from Nickelodeon) was dubbed, or maybe they did it at Tanweer.

okay just looked back at the dubdb page and omg! This show was dubbed by oneteam!! studio (the studio who dubbed kral sakhir)

Makes sense. It's a dubbing studio that Cartoon Network/Cartoonito and Warner Bros. Pictures always have access to for Arabic dubbing, especially in colloquial/dialectal forms. This dubbing studio also produced Arabic dubs (in dialect, not MSA) for Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart, Blue Beetle, DC League of Super-Pets and Space Jam: A New Legacy.

@Daffyrocks Quite nice looking next bumper! Some of those assets seem to be newly-made specifically for The Lost Tapes actually

Too bad they aren't making actual Dimensional-styled bumpers with them (similar to the ones made between 2020 and 2023) and instead still resort to the ones with clips from the first series

Yeah, I did notice myself some of those animations looked like "never-seen-before", especially the ones of the "Power" keyboard and the gumball machine. I don't think they would have produced those assets solely for squeezing them in a NEXT bumper, though.

Anyways, in today's episode that premiered on TV (S1E03, "Blade Games") they actually had no problem mentioning and talking about workplace harrasement (as part of that 80s motivational videotape owned by Pops), even letting that uncensored on CN CEE. It's not something offensive, but still, sensitive enough for a normal children/teen series to include in a conversation. Only Regular Show would let something like this

There are two Hungarian names for Lost Tapes.
"Elveszett felvételek" is used for promos.
Now, when I was watching the series I heard "Elveszett kazik" instead.

Surprised Lost Tapes is being premiered today globally

Is there anything censored in Lost Tapes on CN CEE? There's nothing edited in the uk so far

Parkműsor: Az elveszett kazik is the official title.

Once upon a time on CN Turkey (2016) RS marathon trailer for Mother's Day. Muscle Man's "my mom" jokes weren't censored until 2019.

in arabic . the my mom's joke word was changed to "I AM"

 

[Walker]

in arabic . the my mom's joke word was changed to "I AM"

Unless there are further changes in Türkiye, it has been changed to "high five. (Turkish: Çak Bir Beşlik)" Therefore, the name of the Hi Five Ghost (Turkish: Çak Beşlik Hayalet) character has been renamed Ghost Hi Five (Turkish: Hayalet Beşlik).

I don't see anything wrong with the 'My Mom!' joke. But I really don't understand why they're making this change.

My message only shows two ways of the "Lost Tapes" element (ignoring "Regular Show").

I know, I just wanted to point out that the official title is Az elveszett kazik. I added the part about the Regular show for the sake of accuracy.

The series had three titles, the third of which became the final one. They couldn't re-take the promos, so it's different there, while it's different in the series.

CN CEE continuity from August 2006. The I Am Weasel filler was trimmed in the Arrow era.

I think most minors raised by conservative Muslim parents in Arab countries wouldn't like that kind of joke really

 

[Daffyrocks]

While Lost Tapes was always called in Romania "Un show obișnuit: Casetele pierdute" from the start, on the episode "Skips' Luau" the voice-over somehow ONLY read the "Regular Show" name over the show' title card. Just "Un show obișnuit", despite the fact "The Lost Tapes" was visible below it.

Further episodes (that I watched so far) have the voice read the whole show's Romanian title.

Cartoon Network UK, Boomerang UK, and Cartoonito UK June 2026 Highlights:

 

[Lepriconofmars]

How come this never happened. Why didn’t the new Total Drama reboot air in the Nordics? A later message from CN here also stated that the plan is to air it in all of europe but that certainly didn’t happen
(Rough translation of the msg: ”Hey thanks for your question. The new total drama series will also come to Sweden, but as it looks right now it won’t be till 2022. Good weekend!”

Apparently, WarnerMedia only got the rights to Total DramaRama in Benelux, DACH and CEE/CIS markets.

They did not secure Nordic or Portuguese rights somehow, despite every prior Total Drama series airing on Cartoon Network in Nordics and despite a few also airing in Portugal.

Furthermore, WBD did not secure any rights to the 2023 series anywhere in Europe (unless Italy is counted; WBD owns and operates some Discovery-inherited Italian kids' TV channels that are largely separate from the Cartoon Network family of channels).
