Dubbing History[]
The original version of The 3 Wise Men was in English and recorded at Telson Studios in Madrid, Spain, under voice director Stephen Hughes, who also adapted the Spanish script into English and played the part of Belial. After animation it was dubbed into Spanish. This original English soundtrack was included in the limited 2004 video release in Spain.
In 2005, the film was distributed to the US by Disney. For this release, a large majority of the film was re-dubbed at Skylark Sound Studios under the direction of Bob Buchholz. This dub features actors with name recognition such as Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, as well as Richard Montoya, Herbert Siguenza, and Ric Salinas of Culture Clash fame. As Disney's release was aimed towards the Latin American market, many of the actors for this redub are of a Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. A few voices from the original Telson version are retained, however, mainly extras or a few minor characters.
