Talk:Snow White: The Sequel

This isn't a dub. The documentary "Mon oncle d'amerique est belge" (an extra on the DVD) includes some behind the scenes footage about two and a half minutes in that shows the English voice cast being recorded during the film's production (Rik Mayall in particular is easily recognisable), as well as Tony Hendra being there alongside Picha. The character model sheets and storyboards are also seen a little later during this section of the documentary, and while it's hard to see unless you pause and zoom in, they're all in English as well (the model sheets use the characters' English names and the storyboards use the English script), and the film's English poster is clearly visible in the background when the film's producer is being interviewed. The 5:23 mark in the documentary even outright shows a bit of rough animation that is set to the English voices. Together this all 100% proves that the English version was not a dub.

Thanks, but I'm having difficulty on my end with messaging AVHodgson - I'm not sure if it's something to do with my browser or the website, but simply put, the message page will not open up at all for me.

One thing I forgot to mention above is that if this film was verifiably made in English rather than French, it's also possible that the director's previous films The Missing Link and The Big Bang were also originally made in English as well seeing as they're all written by Tony Hendra, the same person who wrote the (English) script for this film. In fact, the opening titles for the French version of The Missing Link outright credit Tony Hendra as its writer, something which would definitely not be the case if the English version was just a dub - it would indicate the film was originally scripted in English (though obviously the 'B.C. Rock' version is a dub that features some of the original voices). As far as I'm aware, the English version of the director's first film Tarzoon, Shame of the Jungle was a dub - the back cover sleeve of the film's theme song mentions there being a separate American version of the film, i.e. the English language one. However, this single was released in 1975, so that would indicate the 1979 recording date for the English voices is wrong if it's mentioned on the back of a single from four years earlier.
