Dubbing History[]
The Return of Dogtanian was dubbed in 1990 by Intersound, which had previously dubbed the original series. The dub was directed by Dave Mallow and Doug Stone, who also co-adapted the original scripts to English, as well as took over as the voices of Dogtanian, and Porthos, respectively.
Despite being dubbed by the same company, the majority of the English voice cast was replaced, even though voice actors from the original series are still present voicing other characters (namely Daniel Woren, who voiced Rochefort in the original series, now voicing Cardinal Richelieu). The few voice actors retained include Rebecca Forstadt as Juliette, Steve Kramer as Pip, and Mike Reynolds as Widimer.
