Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! (Arabic dub)

عالم فرحان (Ealim Farhan) (English: Happy World) is the Arabic dub of the popular educational television series, ''[https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Wow_Wow_Wubbzy! Wow Wow Wubbzy!]''. It was aired on MBC 3 from September 2008-August 2009, and then on Al Jazeera Children's Channel from October 2008-September 2009, and later on Baraem from January 2009-September 2014.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The dubbing is horrible, as it copies most of the creative concepts that the original English version has, and turns them into something very generic and bland.
 * 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) It ignores the theme of the original English version of the show, because Wubbzy's catchphrase, "Wow!," is cut out in the dub, Widget's personality is changed from a tomboyish trope into a girly girl type of character, Walden into an unlikable selfish jerk, and Daizy into a Butt Monkey-type character, which means that she's getting abused and punished without any reason whatsoever.
 * 4) Terrible voice acting and dialogue that sounds a lot like abhorrent robots.
 * 5) * Speaking of which, the voice acting sounds like they were straight out of Image Production House.
 * 6) Most of the characters sound absolutely nothing but very inappropriate like their American counterparts.
 * 7) * Wubbzy (Azza Zārour), instead of having a feminine yet childish voice, has a Lebanese-Arabic accent that sounds a bit too old for his age, almost like Gir from Invader Zim.
 * 8) * Widget (Dania Shāfai), instead of a Western cowgirl accent, she has a Japanese anime feminine voice with a thick valley teenage girl accent that is similar to the Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade from Bratz.
 * 9) * Walden (Hasan Al Mulla), instead of a British guy accent, he has a Japanese anime masculine voice with an elderly, angry teenage man accent that is similar to Zim from Invader Zim.
 * 10) * Daizy (Lillian El-Sherbieny) has a grown woman's voice, making her sound a bit too old for her age.
 * 11) Wastes the Arabic voice talents of Azza Zārour, Dania Shāfai, Hasan Al Mulla, and Lillian El-Sherbieny (who voiced Wuz Wuz from Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott).
 * 12) Uncreative names. For example, Wubbzy's name in the Arabic dub is Farhan (Happy), Widget's name in this dub is Waradi (Pinky), Walden's name in this dub (as his personality in this dub suggests) is Nedel (Jerky), and Daizy's name in this dub is Dee Dee.
 * 13) Digital edits and needless cutting. For example, they edited and cut out the female characters in the bikinis during the swimming episode. (Although this is because of differing values between the Arab world and the Western world.)
 * 14) The Arabic dub changes Wubbzy from the funny, silly, and cute character to the annoying, aggravating, inappropriate, unfunny, and the irritating crybaby character with barely any intelligence or optimism whatsoever, and with the personality of SpongeBob SquarePants from Seasons 6-8 of the show of the same name and The Powerpuff Girls from Seasons 5-6 of the show of the same name.
 * 15) The promo for the Arabic dub of the show felt way too overhyped and dizzy.
 * 16) In the season 2 theme song, they cut out Daizy's name in the Arabic dub, although the rest of the theme song is dubbed.
 * 17) It tries way too hard to be hip and cool, but it fails miserably. For example, Wubbzy's catchphrases in this dub are "HEY!" and "YEAH!", and said character's habit of playing the Kickety-Kick Ball game is taken way too far.
 * 18) Overuse of boyish and girlish stereotypes.
 * 19) The songs aren't as catchy as they were in the original as a result of the poor Arabic singing. On top of that, they can be nightmare fuels.
 * 20) The localization is cheap, using generic fonts. This can be seen with the translated title card.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The jokes are still funny.
 * 2) At least Daizy isn't flanderized in this dub.
 * 3) The animation still looks good.
 * 4) Some good episodes.
 * 5) At least they didn't dumb down Wubbzy's Big Movie from 2008 and the Wubb Idol movie from 2009.
 * 6) The original English version is a masterpiece over the horrible and annoying Arabic dub.
