The Magic Voyage

The Magic Voyage, also known as The Adventures of Pico & Columbus (Die Abenteuer von Pico & Columbus) in Germany, is a German animated film directed by Michael Schoemann. The film was originally released in Germany on April 9, 1992. The film was released direct-to-video in the United States on December 3, 1993.

Dubbing History
The film has two different English variations. The first dub was produced in Germany and released by Atlas Film Zeigt in international markets, the cast mostly consists of English speaking actors who are based in Germany. Phil Nibbelink who served as animation director and storyboard artist on the film also lends his voice to the dub. This dub is very rare to find, the only known home video releases it has is a Malaysian VCD and a Croatian VHS both of which are very hard to come by.

The second dub for the film was produced by Hemdale Picture Corporation in 1993. This is the dub most audiences are familiar with and is much more common to find than the previous one. This dub features a few popular actors such as Dom DeLuise and Corey Feldman. This dub is notorious for its very bizarre sound design including random cartoony sound effects and tons of ad-libbed dialogue, it also features an entirely new music score by Harald Kloser and Thomas Schobel. There is also an additional song added in for the end credits called Heaven Is by Al Jarreau.
