Dubbing History
The earliest known dub was produced by CINAR Studios, Inc. and recorded at Montreal's Sonolab in 1985. Titled The Adventures of Albert and Sidney, it aired Saturday mornings on CBC TV 8 in Barbados in the late 1980's and early 1990's. The Japanese signs weren't translated, with it using an original theme song and replacement background music. Nobita and Doraemon were renamed to Albert and Sidney, respectively, with Gian, Suneo and Shizuka believed to have been renamed to "Buster", "Ricky" and "Lucy". Despite this, it is clear that the show is still set in Japan. The dub was planned to air in the United States on TBS, but ultimately never was. As its release was limited, the only footage to surface has been a short reel released by the dub's composer Jérôme Langlois in September 2020. The version is the only English dub in which Nobita is voiced by a male child actor.

Other known dubs are the Asian dubs by Voiceovers Unlimited and Speedy Video (containing the same laughable voices and editing as their infamous dubs of the Dragon Ball Z films), and a dub made for TV Asahi by Phuuz Entertainment in the United States. In addition, a gag dub was done for MTV UK in the 1990's. Relatively little is known about any of them, other than the MTV gag dub had Doraemon's name spelt as "Doreamon", probably to make it easier to pronounce for either the voice actors or the viewers at home.
