The World of Piwi (Arabic Dub)

عالم السعادة (roman: Ālam El-Sāda) (English: The World of Happiness) is the Egyptian-Arabic dub of the Canadian-French computer-animated edutainment musical children's television series, The World of Piwi. While the original show is good, these dubs aren't.

History
The show was formerly dubbed in Egyptian/Arabic for one time. The dub (in Colloquial Egyptian) was formerly produced in Cairo, Egypt by Arascope Film company: one in 2005 (as evidenced by the copyright date on the covers) for Season 1 on VHS and DVD, and another in 2006 for Season 2 on DVD.

The show was formerly aired on MBC 3 from June 2005-September 2007, and then on Al Jazeera Children's Channel from September 2006-November 2008, and later on Baraem from September 2009-November 2014.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The dubbing is mediocre and ear-splitting, as most of the voices and dialogue didn't sound like their French and English voices because they sounded like they were straight out of Image Production House and they gave you a very bad headache. On top of that, they're too loud and they sounded like abhorrent robots and animals.
 * 2) * Soleil/Sunny with Béthanie/Brooklyn (Jacqueline Rafiq), Étoile/Lillie with Éloïse/Emily (Rana El Rifai), Ventouse/Lulu with Alice/Angie (Joumana Zonji), and Ressort/Springy with Samantha/Savannah (Dania Shāfai) sounded like teenage women that they're very similar to Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade from Bratz.
 * 3) * Gourmand/Greedy with Billy/Bailey (Hasan Al Mulla), Radar/Energy with Joël/Jonah (Rami Samir), and Peinture/Tank with Willy/William (Rāfat Maher) sounded like teenage men that they're very similar to B-Bop A-Luna, 2T Fru-T, and Do-Wah Diddy from Butt-Ugly Martians.
 * 4) * Maïa/Maureen (Lillian El-Sherbieny) has a grown woman's voice, making her sound a bit too old for her age.
 * 5) The names of the characters in this dub are incomplete. Soleil/Sunny's Name in this dub is El-Mushmis, Gourmand/Greedy's Name in this dub is El-Nahem, Étoile/Lillie's Name in this dub is El-Najima, Radar/Energy's Name in this dub is El-Tāqa, Ventouse/Lulu's Name in this dub is El-Musāsa, Ressort/Springy's Name in this dub is El-Yanabie, Peinture/Tank's Name in this dub is El-Lawāt, La Grande Âme/The Great Soul's Name in this dub is El-Rouh El-Āzima, Maïa/Maureen's Name in this dub is Jamila, and Mimik's Name in this dub is Rashika.
 * 6) * On top of that, it ignores the theme songs of the original French and English versions of the show, because the Piwis/Happy Planets' catchphrases are cut out in the dub, the four females' personalities are changed from the cute tropes into the ugly types of characters, the three males into the annoying jerks, and Maïa/Maureen into a Butt Monkey-type character, which means that she's getting abused and punished without any reason at all.
 * 7) All the characters never shut up because they gave you a very bad headache. On top of that, while they were silent in the original French and English versions, in this dub, they annoyingly overlap (especially when they all laugh too much), and making a lot of creepy noises that they sounded like abhorrent robots and animals.
 * 8) * For example, they all dance and sing along together, annoyingly saying "ha-ha-ha-ha!" over and over again and making a lot of creepy noises that gave you a headache.
 * 9) This dub was only made to sell home media from Arascope.
 * 10) Even the name of Happy Planet in this dub is incomplete. The name of Happy Planet in this dub is Kaukab Sāid.
 * 11) The promo for the Arabic dub of the show felt way too overhyped and dizzy.
 * 12) Much like the Arabic dub of VeggieTales, the dub treats The World of Piwi as an awful show.
 * 13) * 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.
 * 14) The songs aren't as catchy as they were in the original French and English versions as a result of the poor Arabic singing. On top of that, they can be nightmare fuels.
 * 15) * For example, the sing-along lyrics were left completely textless before Season 2. 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 and choppy makeover.
 * 16) The localization can give you seizures, using creepy fonts from Arascope. This can be seen with the translated title card.
 * 17) The dub is very creepy and lost, and it’s very unknown how many seasons The World of Piwi lasted in this dub or what the theme songs are in Arabic.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It still has the same characters and plots from the French and English dub. Even the animation is still cute.
 * 2) The songs without the singing are sounded super catchy.
 * 3) The jokes are still funny.
 * 4) Some good episodes.
 * 5) At least this dub was legally done unlike the Albanian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Georgian, Greek, Hindi, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Persian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian dubs.
 * 6) The text that appears at the start of the songs from Season 2 are at least localized properly.
 * 7) The segments are still educational.
 * 8) It only lasted from 2005 to 2014.
 * 9) Thankfully, the Arabic dub got cancelled and it got taken of the air on media three times because parents and anime fans are all very happy about that.
 * 10) The original French and English versions are all masterpieces over the horrible and annoying Arabic dub.

Trivia

 * On the VHS and DVD releases for these episodes (not applying to post-Season 2 episodes), there is an added watermark that says "piwi@mbc3.net" plastered onscreen at the end of the show just before the credits, and it scrolls to the left three times.
