Dubbing History
Months after the film's release in Europe, it was brought over to the US by The Weinstein Company (originally Miramax/Disney) on October 17, 2005, under a new title Doogal. producer Harvey Weinstein approached The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom creator Butch Hartman to re-work the film on November 2005. Hartman revealed in a 2017 interview during the Weinstein scandal and the MeToo and Time's Up movement that his initial idea to re-work The Magic Roundabout was to add in a live-action frame story that would've involved an elderly man reading the story of the film to his grandchild, similar to that of The Princess Bride; this idea never went through however due to budget issues and even revealed that the original U.S. movie poster had his name and his production company Billionfold Inc. on it, until they were removed in later posters in copyright favor of both Pathé and Action Synthese's credits. The US version of the film redubs a majority of the cast with celebrity voices that are most well-known in the US (Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Hader, Judi Dench, John Krasinski, William H. Macy, Kevin Smith and Jon Stewart), the only voice being retained is Ian McKellen due to his high celebrity status in the US. Kylie Minogue was also brought in to re-record all of her dialogue with an American accent. While the original UK dubbed version received mostly positive reviews, the US version has become pretty infamous for its an overabundance of pop culture references and flatulence jokes, Butch Hartman revealed in a 2017 interview during the Weinstein scandal and the MeToo and Time's Up movement that his actual script was actually re-written, and even re-recorded, without his consent by Harvey Weinstein and his distribution and production company The Weinstein Company with a screenplay by Hoodwinked! co-director Cory Edwards. At least 3% of his actual script made it into the final cut.
