Malaysian English Speedy dub[]
Various Doraemon episodes and movies were "unofficially" dubbed in English in Malaysia by the now-defunct Speedy Video and released on VCDs. One dubbed movie has been uploaded onto the internet. The VCDs have been out of print for 15 years. Speedy Video also released the unofficial English dub of the another anime series Cyborg Kuro Chan as well as Dragon Ball Z, etc.
The following character name changes took place;
- Nobita: Specky
- Shizuka: Joanne
- Giant: Bob
- Suneo: Tim/Timmy
- Dekisugi: Thomas
Most of the voice casts involved in this dub were the same voice casts that was involved in the Speedy dub version of Dragon Ball Z movies. A few of them were also involved in the Malay dub of Doraemon anime as well, although they voiced different characters instead. Dorami and Dekisugi was the only two exceptions who was voiced by the same voice actress in both dubs.
Titanic and several Dragon Ball Z background music is used. Despite this, in some scenes some of original background music (along with original Japanese voice acting) can still be heard.
The ending song have several minutes of footage (and also the lyrics) are cut or edited due to time constraint.
