A Look at International Cartoon Openings - Dub Theme Songs From Around The World

There's a lot that goes into dubbing a TV show. You have to take something made for one region, and rework it to fit into your market and culture. The changes made to dubs are often looked down upon by fans, but some dubs contain truly unique additional content that go unappreciated outside of their local audience, such as their opening theme songs. Many dubs use original theme songs made to appeal to their specific audience, such as Italy dubs featuring Eurodance songs.

In this video, we'll be going over some of the most fascinating examples of this, from countries such as Italy, Germany, France and more. There is an infinite amount of international multilanguage content out there to dive into!

Special thanks to the dubbing community. Without the work of everyone in the scene, videos like this would not be possible. This video is a tribute to all the hard work of those who chronicled all of this over the years.
