VeggieTales (Various Dubs)



VeggieTales is a near 25 year old popular video series about anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables in stories conveying moral themes based on Christianity. The episodes frequently retell and recreate Bible stories anachronistically reframed and include humorous references to pop culture.

Because of the show's popularity, various dubs such as Spanish have been made of the series, however, the Japanese and Korean dubs of the series are incredibly hard to find, even if you type ベジーテイルズ or 베지태일 (The Japanese and Korean names of the series) in Google ,and for the Japanese dub; only the Hairbrush Song has been found. It was also found as an Easter Egg on the The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown DVD.

There are some openings of the series in Japanese,uploaded by Buster Bird, but they were discovered to be fake, as they were only a mix of the Chinese and Arabic version

For the Korean dub however; the series apparently aired on the Korean network KBS1, but not much information is known beyond that, however, an ad for the series has surfaced.

EDIT: I found a few more covers of the Korean VeggieTales DVDs. They're from a website called yesasia.com, I might check the website out to see if I can get more photos.

Anyway, I'll make a gallery and add those covers to them.

EDIT 2: I found a bit of the Korean dub of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. Its only the ending and the credits though. Definitely gonna contact the uploader to see if he has anything else from this dub.

Also, I checked yesasia.com. Its a shopping website, and the VeggieTales DVDs/VHSs are out of stock. Here's a link to some of their listings so you know I'm not making it up or you're curious:

EDIT 3: Eureka!!!, i was searching for Spanish VHS covers of the series when i found the Japanese cover of Where's God When I'm S-Scared!!, i also found an Japanese website that has the original VHS in Japanese along with other episodes!, i also found covers for: God Wants Me To Forgive Them?!?, Are You My Neighbor?, Rack, Shack and Benny, Dave and the Giant Pickle and The Toy That Saved Christmas, also the Japanese name above is not real, the true name of the series in Japan is ヴェジテールズ, not ベジーテイルズ

Here is the link for the Japanese website:

Covers(the left covers are the Korean ones, and the right covers are the Japanese ones):

EDIT 4: BiC55 here. I found Jonah in Hungarian online, but it's in low quality in both audio and video. I have the Hungarian DVD of the movie and played it on my MacBook Pro, but the menus look like they were done by a group of 6th graders. The main menu shows the Hungarian dub of Jonah Was A Prophet, the scenes menu has the dub of Second Chances, and the other menus have a dub of Message From The Lord. Here's the Hungarian dub, if anyone's interested. http://videa.hu/videok/film-animacio/aker-jonas.es.a.zoldsegmesek-kkmTPVcCOm9fxKVM

EDIT 5: I'm back. I found a version of Jonah with Russian people talking over the English dialogue. They didn't translate Billy Joe McGuffrey for some strange reason. There are other VeggieTales episodes with Russian voice overs, including Saint Nicholas: A Story Of Joyful Giving. That was released 2 years after the show stopped being dubbed. Here's the Russian version for anyone who's interested. https://m.ok.ru/video/39696337492

EDIT 6: I got the lyrics from the Hungarian version of "Steak and Shrimp" from the subtitles on the DVD.

Cápa steaket, kérek, kérek!

Rák, rák, még egy, még egy!

Garnélát, garnélát,

ide, ide, kérek, kérek!

Nyami-hami, fald fel őket,

rákot, kagylót, herkentyűket!

EDIT 7: I found something very interesting. The actor who voices Junior in the Japanese dub is Yuji Mori.

EDIT 8: First thing before I get to this; I realized in the Russian version of Jonah that Billy Joe McGuffrey is translated until "You can buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid" is sung the first time. After that, only Bob's dialogue is translated until the end of the song.

Anyways, if you remember the Brazilian Portuguese dubs of the show, the first dub from Audio News that was released on VHS is lost. Jonathan Teka (who is one of my friends on Vimeo and my Brazilian version of Big Idea) made a fan version of the dub's theme song, but the lyrics are just translated from the English version.

For example, what is supposed to be "Nós somos Os Vegetais" is sung as "É hora de Os Vegetais" for some reason, showing that it was translated from the English version.

EDIT 8.5: I just realized that Ramon Mourão (who runs JesusLegalCanal with his brother, Rodrigo Mourão) owns the original VHS dub of Are You My Neighbor (Você é o Meu Vizinho in the dub), but sadly, the theme song (and final scene) are cut off.

EDIT 9: I found a download host for part of a Korean VeggieTales DVD. This includes VOB files. However, you have to register to download the files. http://filecast.co.kr/www/contents/file_down/86781

EDIT 10: Jonathan Teka found a part of the original Brazilian Portuguese dub of Are You My Neighbor?. It's just ONE minute from it, though.

EDIT 11: I found the original Brazilian VHS cover of Are You My Neighbor?. I also found out Buenna Vista Films distributed the show's products from 1997-2001.

EDIT 12: I heard the Korean dub's name is actually 베지테일. That's just to fix up on what the other guy posted WAY BACK THEN.

EDIT 13: I've heard that there are Croatian and Danish dubs of the show. I have a Croatian DVD of An Easter Carol and plan to upload footage from it at some point on Vimeo. I will link to the video when it's uploaded.

EDIT 14 (December 14, 2017): MisterSheeple here. I just found a ton of Korean covers, and I uploaded them here. There's a lot more, and I will upload the rest soon.
