Notes[]
- The only dub by Wiley Isa and Mix Magic Studios, likely due to the dub’s poor production values and resulting poor reception. The company also handled subtitling of the original DVD's, which were a "dubtitle" release copying the dub script.
- The credit of "Female Voices" is accidentally given to Michael McConnohie, intended for Jessica Gee (who voices the majority of the additional female characters) who is listed above.
