As both dubs have never been released in the US and had limited release in other countries, they are very difficult to find, with the Phuuz dub being near-impossible to find.įUNimation Entertainment acquired the Shin-chan North America license in 2006. Vitello and Phuuz episodes lasted on an average 21 minutes and contained three segments of 5 to 7 minutes. However, the Phuuz dub contained none of the original voice cast from Vitello's, with all the characters voices being replaced with a different talent pool.ĥ2 episodes have been produced of the Vitello dub and at least 78 episodes of the Phuuz dub. In 2003, Phuuz Entertainment was commissioned by Lacey Entertainment to continue the dub in similar style as the Vitello dub. For example, episode 29 shows Shin bringing his classmates to visit his newborn sister, episode 30 shows his sister coming home from her birth in the hospital and in episode 52 it was revealed that Shin was going to have a sister. Additionally, the episodes were dubbed out of their original order which created continuity errors. Some episodes that displayed adult material and mature content were not dubbed at all. However, the frequent appearance of Shinnosuke's naked buttocks, as well as humor relating to breast-size and sexual themes, remained in the finished product.
Most adult jokes were re-made into family-friendly jokes, and the profanity was edited out. Many characters had their names changed to American-sounding ones, the original background music was completely replaced with new background music, and scenes with nudity were edited to remove any signs of indecent exposure. During the early 2000s, it ran on Fox Kids (and later Jetix) in the United Kingdom, on Fox Kids in Australia and on RTÉ Two in Ireland. The dub featured veteran voice actors such as Kath Soucie, Russi Taylor, Grey DeLisle, Pat Fraley, Eric Loomis and Anndi McAfee playing the characters. The series was first dubbed into English by Vitello Productions in Burbank, California through 2001–2002, when TV Asahi and Lacey Entertainment decided to market the series worldwide.
