Why is waybuloo dubbed

Why do they have the same voices each week? It's horrifically badly dubbed. Why is this? WYOO the Waybuloo kids? Anyone else want to wring their necks? Original poster's comments 3. I don't get what they are looking at - the piplings aren't real are they?! They do have one Scottish voice. It's the same voice each episode, but belongs to a different child each episode.

To get those sorts of production values, you need to spread the cost, and sell abroad. They start to get familiar very quickly. Another curious decision is that the live-action children are dubbed by slightly older children. The thinking seems to have been that the live kids were too young to deliver lines convincingly, and perhaps that it might be better to have a wider range of accents on the kids.

Still, these are pretty minor points. And to do that, they had two big ideas. First, they cut down the episodes from twenty minutes to ten, largely by axing the lengthy first yogo segment from each episode. Second, they decided to add a narrator. This seems like an obviously bad idea to start with, even if you are trying to gloss over some missing connective tissue from the cut sequences. One can only imagine that somebody in the BBC must have been having second thoughts about this before it even aired, since the format change lasted the whole of one day.

The toddler demographic wields a brutal judgment that no adult fandom can match. Waybuloo is best experienced in the original episodes, where its languid pace, quality animation and relaxed stories can play out in the way its creators intended. The vision here is about production quality and getting everything right; it delivers there. It feels like the children are being inducted into a strange dreamlike cult. The Octonauts is a godsend in this respect, and I look forward to when we reach the reviews of that: Nathaniel, my son, was a huge fan from an early age and it really had an effect on him: by the time he was three and we took him to a Sea Life Centre he could name pretty well all the undersea creatures as a result of his viewing.

There are four Piplings. Lau Lau is rabbit-like and her key characteristic is her imagination. She loves to paint and sculpt, especially if she can make presents for her friends. Yojojo is monkey-like and represents happiness. He is clumsy, funny and cheeky. Just as Lau Lau loves to paint, Yo Jojo loves music and dancing. He even has a little stage carved from a tree stump on which to perform. De Li is kitten-like and represents love.

Shes a bit shy but is nurturing and loves nature, be it gardening, flowers or gathering food for the group. Nok Tok is bear-like and represents wisdom. He solves problems and comes up with creative, inventive solutions for fixing and mending things.

He has a very colourful toolbox and a special Anything Machine which can solve a multitude of problems. In each episode, six children visit Nara to play with the Piplings and explore their land, as real life interacts with the animated world, showing that every child can visit Nara and find their own Waybuloo. Any the wiser now?

They seem to get it fine. They have no problem grasping both the context and subtext of this weird ass show and can follow the through line with ease.
