The voice casting and theEnglish languagedubbingproduction was done in-house byCINAR Studios, Inc.in Montreal, Canada. It has been broadcast onYTVin Canada. Heavy changes were made to the adaptation dub of the series. One being such is a new music score that was all digitally composed and sampled with anE-mu Proteus 2 Orchestrasynthesizer. Other changes involve different character names used and gender changes for two characters. At the end of each condensed episode, a 3-minute music video was added to summarize the episode's plot.
