Huckleberry Finn (ハックルベリィの冒険 Huckleberry no Bouken) is a 1976 anime by Group TAC adapting the book by Mark Twain. A movie version was released in America in the early 1980s, and a full dub of the show was done by Saban Entertainment in 1993.
Dubbing history[]
A cut-down movie version dubbed in America played on CBN in 1984 and was released on VHS as The Raft Adventures of Huck and Jim. The dub was produced by Bunker Jenkins and 3-B Productions of Tranzor Z fame and featured much of the same voice cast as that series. It also had DVD releases from East West Entertainment and TCG Direct.
Later, in 1993, Saban Entertainment had the full show dubbed in Montreal at CINAR's studios. This was the last anime dub they would use the Montreal talent pool for.
