Hi, i was wondering if there has been a Release of the Canadian Dubbed Version of the 80's Astroboy?
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be one, at least not in English.

The Canadian dub is something we'd all like to see surface some day.

I'm surprised that none of us here is aware of even a single episode somewhere on the Internet (which doesn't mean there aren't, of course). I can't believe that nobody would have a tape somewhere in his basement.

Well, what do we know about the Canadian Dub? What was the name of the company who did it? What channels was it shown on?

It was shown on CBC. I've never seen the credits, however since the French version uses the same edits, maybe there are more details there, I'll check later. It's possible that CBC played a part in the production too.

What is the interest of the canadian version? If you speak english, I think the usa version is ok. And if you speak french, the episodes has been so destroyed, in the french canadian version, to remove any signs of "violence", than there's really no interest to watch it.

Probably because it's the dub that many people grew with. Apparently it was better than the US dub. I'd be curious to hear it myself.
Even if I understand English and even though I'm horrified myself whenever I watch a Fench episode, I still prefer the French voices (especially Astro, who I think sounds even better than in Japanese), and I don't get quite the same feeling from watching an episode in English than I get from watching one in French.
Since it was the same edit, somebody should release a bilingual Canadian version!
