Dubbing History
Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle was the first in-house dub of an anime done by FUNimation in Dallas, Texas. According to Mike McFarland, roughly 150 actors auditioned to voice act in the special in 1997. In the end, only eight actors were chosen for the entire English voice cast of the project. With the success of the video release of the dub, FUNimation would continue to dub anime with their own talent pool based in Texas, finishing Dragon Ball Z on their own after the dub of it by Ocean Productions was cancelled. While their dub was mostly uncut, the opening was replaced with the Dragon Ball theme from the BLT dub, composed by Peter Berring. This would later be removed for the remastered DVDs.

In Europe, another dub was produced for European English-speaking areas by the AB Groupe with a France-based voice cast, airing on Toonami in the United Kingdom.
