Wings: Sky Force Heroes

Wings: Sky Force Heroes, also known as Sky Force, is a 2012 Hong Kong animated film directed by Tony Tang. The film was produced by Limelight Animation Studios and T-Films.

Synopsis
When Ace, a cocky young firefighter, defies his orders and recklessly puts his team in jeopardy, he resigns to the coal mines. Until one day he gets the chance to redeem himself.

Dubbing History[]

The film was dubbed into English twice. The first dub features two different sets of talent pools, consisting of voice acting regulars from Hong Kong and actors based in Culver City, California. This dub has been distributed in most areas outside of the US.

The second dub was produced by Lionsgate and Simka Entertainment, utilizing an all star cast that was also used a year before for Wings. This dub features some extra background chatter and pop songs that weren't present in the original, the most notable being O-Zone's iconic pop song Dragostea Din Tei. There are also a few subtle visual edits, for instance a sign that said "South Mountain Playland" in the original is changed to "Shockball".

Notes[]

Various Aircrafts and Robots have their genders changed in the Simka dub.
- Sporter for instance is changed from female to male in the Simka dub.
The Simka dub treats the film as sort of a pseudo-sequel to the 2012 Russian animated film Wings, as they both feature the same voice cast in similar roles and many of the characters also carry the same names as in the dub of that film.
- Wings would get an official sequel in 2021, but so far it has not been released outside of Russia.
