The Crumpets (Les Crumpets) is a French animated comedy television series produced by 4.21 Productions and distributed by Mediatoon Distribution. The show was adapted from the Petit Dernier books and Petite Pousse book authored by Didier Lévy, illustrated by Frédéric Benaglia, and published by Editions Sarbacane.
Originally premiered on Canal+ Family (seasons 1-3) and Télétoon+ (season 4 and a special) in France, seasons 1 and 2 were released on Amazon Prime Video in the United Kingdom in September 2020.
Dubbing History[]
The 2011 pilot was dubbed into English in the United Kingdom, unlike the main series.
The English dub for the official series was produced by Gilles Motais for Distribimage Inc., directed by Darren Dunstan and adapted by David Cox. Although primarily recorded with an American voice cast, this dub gave virtually all characters British accents. The dialogue also includes British English words and phrases such as "telly", "nappy" and "holiday" (as in "vacation"). The pound is occasionally mentioned as currency, although visible references to the euro are intact.
For the English dub of Teen Crumpets (seasons 3 and 4), The Kitchen dubbing studio used (North) American accents and a different voice cast.
In November 2015, 4.21 Productions established a Kickstarter fundraiser for an English dub of season 3 (the only Teen Crumpets season at the time). Although the fundraiser fell short of funds by its deadline, an English dub of the season 3 episode "Baby Sister" can be viewed on the C21Media website, not to mention few episodes that could be viewed on Malaysia Airlines flights in early 2018.
An entire English dub of Teen Crumpets, which is available on the Mediatoon Distribution catalog, has yet to be released.
