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 is formerly aired on MBC 3 from 2004-2007 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 dub has, and turns them into something very bad and awful.
 * 2) Horrible voice acting and dialogue that sounds a lot like abhorrent robots.
 * 3) Awful names. For example, Bob's name in this dub is Bobo, Larry's name in this dub is Tikha, Junior's name in this dub is Qarnabit (Cauliflower), and Jimmy and Jerry's names in that dub are El-Alsāwi and Āwa.
 * 4) Most of the characters sound absolutely nothing but very inappropriate like their American counterparts.
 * 5) * Bob (Yasser Shāban), instead of having a high-pitch voice, he has a voice similar to Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty (1959) and Hercules from Hercules (1997) and Hercules: Zero to Hero (1999) with an Egyptian-Arabic accent.
 * 6) * Larry (Rāfat Maher), instead of a silly high-pitch voice, he has a voice similar to Fou Fou from Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott also with an Egyptian-Arabic accent.
 * 7) * Junior (Nevin Shouki), instead of a feminine yet childish voice, he has a grown woman's voice that is very similar to Yoshimi from Body Transfer.
 * 8) * Jimmy (Rami Samir) might sound similar to Azouz from Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott, but this has yet to be confirmed.
 * 9) * Jerry (Farid El-Naqurashi) might sound similar to Kenichi from Body Transfer, but this has yet also to be confirmed.
 * 10) * All the other characters had voices that are similar to the Butt Monkey characters with the Egyptian-Arabic accents and they might sound similar to the animated characters from the Disney franchise.
 * 11) In Josh and the Big Wall!, Bob's line "Back at their camp at night, they talked it over" was cut.
 * 12) In Madame Blueberry, Jerry Louis's name is changed into Mickey Mouse in the Arabic dub.
 * 13) 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 nothing that not only do the characters do not appear on them, but the portion with text looks like a cheap makeover.
 * 14) * 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.
 * 15) It tries way too hard to be funny and silly, but it fails miserably. For example, the character's habit of the "What We Have Learned" song is taken way too far.
 * 16) In the older theme song from the 1990s, after the logo, a long white screen is shown before the theme song starts, which is very creepy to some.
 * 17) In the newer theme song from the 2000s, throughout the logo which is colorized, a white screen is shown before the theme song starts, which is a little creepy to some.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The stories and jokes are still funny.
 * 2) The singing voices are very decent, despite the waste talents.
 * 3) The CGI 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.
 * 6) The Japanese, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, and Latin Spanish dubs are all masterpieces over the horrible and annoying Arabic dub.

Trivia

 * The reason that Are You My Neighbor? was never dubbed in Arabic is because its lesson is allegedly related to the fear that one of Egypt's neighboring countries is politically regarded as an enemy﻿.
 * 3 dubs are known to exists as of 2020 which are the ones mentioned above.
