I always see non-Murricans talking about all of the anime their countries aired when they were kids, like Saint Seiya all over the place and Harlock in France, and both of those and more in Italy. It would have been nice to see those WMT anime get dubbed since they're mostly European or North American works to begin with. Though I'd question their feasibility of licensing even now, not many people are chomping at the bit to see the new Anne or Les Miserables.

Only Little Women and Swiss Family Robinson got dubbed in English, IIRC. You can watch them in Smile of A Child if you want to.

And about the new Anne and Les Mis, it's still getting dubbed in non-English languages, like Arabic for example.

It's interesting that each countries have their own favorite WMTs. Philiphine loved Little Princess Sara and Little Prince Cedie so much that they made their own live-action version. In Israel, Marco was popular enough to be referenced in the news. And motherfucking Iran loved Lucy and Katri.

That's not true. Tom Sawyer was dubbed as well. I wish SOAC would pick that up. Plus,Smile Of A Child is sadly not available on Dish Network,Directv, or Cox Communications and Charter Just dropped it a Month ago. I just wish SOAC goes to every provider to watch good old school WMT. I have Uverse but my friend has Dish. He's disappointed.
