Sorry, I don’t really know how to phrase my question. For example, we know that over here in the USA, a box set of dragon ball z contains the English dub and the original Japanese track. If someone from somewhere else wanted to watch, let’s say SpongeBob on DVD, could they expect the original English track or was it commonplace to only have the local dub? ETA: Of course I’m referring to the time period before streaming, and I mean any type of popular cartoon.
Indeed. Infact every smaller country utilizes subtitles. Bigger countries dub their movies and shows. Dubbing is too expensive for smaller countries.
We have a shit ton of dubbed shows and films as well. Some were even way better than the English dub.
True yeah, the ones aimed at younger children. I was talking more in general. Like in Germany for instance where they dub almost everything, for the children and adults alike.
