The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin

The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin (also known as The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin) is a 1986 Russian-Japanese animated film that was originally released as a three part serial. It tells about the life of an Adélie Penguin named Lolo and the adventures he gets into.

Dubbing History
The first dub of Lolo was produced in the late 80s by Moscow-based Filmexport Studios (though it was initially thought to have been made in the United Kingdom) and distributed by Sovexportfilm. This was mostly just a straight translation and dub of the original film, with the names, music and titles from Lolo intact. The only figure credited for the English production is Nikolai Kurnakov, who was the translator for the dub, while voice actors were completely uncredited.

The second and far more notorious dub of Lolo was produced by Jim Terry Productions and distributed by Enoki Films USA as The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin. This specific version was heavily edited from the original version, not only by combining all three parts from the serial into a seventy-six minute film, but also by cutting a large number of scenes, changing the character names, and changing the musical score entirely (with some added background songs as well). In a strange twist of fate, the Scamper dub of the film ended up being reused for several other dubs of the film, with only a select amount of dubs of Lolo being sourced from the Russian version.
