VeggieTales (Arabic dub)

حواديت الخضروات (roman: hawadit alakhdaruat) (English: The Vegetable Show) is the Egyptian-Arabic dub of the American Christian children's direct-to-video series VeggieTales. While the original VeggieTales is good, these dubs aren't.

Three dubs are known to exist as of 2020.

History
The show was dubbed in Egyptian/Arabic three times. The first two dubs (in Colloquial Egyptian) were produced in Cairo, Egypt by Arascope Film company: one in 1997 (as evidenced by the copyright date on the VHS and DVD covers) for the first few episodes up to Josh and the Big Wall!, and another in 2006 from Madame Blueberry to The Ballad of Little Joe. A third dub was produced by SAT-7 Kids sometime in 2010 for newer episodes.

The show was formerly aired on MBC 3 from April 2005-March 2007 and currently being streamed live on SAT-7 Kids' website (aired on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays) and on the Miracle Channel (aired on weekends during Fridays and Sundays).

Why This Dub Sucks

 * 1) The dubbing is very mediocre, and it copies most of the creative concepts that the original English version has, and turns them into something very bad and awful.
 * 2) * On top of that, parents and anime fans are not very happy about this dub because it's very inappropriate to listen to on media.
 * 3) Horrible voice acting and dialogue that sounds a lot like abhorrent robots and animals.
 * 4) * Speaking of which, the voice acting sounds a lot like they were straight out of Arascope.
 * 5) Awful names. For example, Bob's name in this dub is Bobo, Larry's name is Tikha, Junior's name is Qarnabit (Cauliflower), and Jimmy and Jerry's names are El-Alsāwi and Āwa.
 * 6) Most of the characters sound absolutely nothing but very inappropriate like their American counterparts.
 * 7) * Bob, instead of having a high-pitch voice, he has a voice similar to Prince Phillip and Hercules with an Egyptian-Arabic accent.
 * 8) * Larry, instead of a silly high-pitch voice, he has a voice similar to Fou Fou from also with an Egyptian-Arabic accent. On top of that, his singing voice is also very annoying.
 * 9) * Junior, instead of a feminine yet childish voice, has an anime fearful, miserable teenage girl accent that is very similar to Yoshimi.
 * 10) In Josh and the Big Wall!, Bob's line "Back at their camp that night, they talked it over" was cut out.
 * 11) In Madame Blueberry, Jerry Louis's name is changed into Mickey Mouse in this dub.
 * 12) The title cards for Silly Songs with Larry and sing-along lyrics were left completely textless before Madame Blueberry. When they did localize them, though, it is worth noting that not only do the characters do not appear on them, but the portion with text looks like a cheap makeover.
 * 13) * Archibald does appear on the Classy Songs with Larry title card, although he fades in during the announcement he makes. On the other hand, the Silly Songs with Larry title card that precedes it has him completely removed.
 * 14) In the older theme song, after the logo, a long white screen is shown before the theme song starts, which is creepy to some.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The stories and jokes are still funny.
 * 2) The Arabic singing voices are very decent.
 * 3) The animation still looks good.
 * 4) At least this dub was legally done unlike the Persian Dubs.
 * 5) The text that appears at the start of "Belly Button" is at least localized properly.

Trivia

 * The reason that Are You My Neighbor? was never dubbed in Arabic because its lesson is allegedly related to the fear that one of Egypt's neighboring countries is politically regarded as an enemy﻿.
