Kyle & the Gang Classics

**Kyle & the Gang Classics** is an English redub for *Kyle and the Gang* released by Kenzie Backlin Productions, covering the first 56 episodes.

## History

When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, current rights holders Kenzie Backlin Productions contacted Funlight Entertainment to make an alternate English redub, produced using their in-house services. Continuing to distribute the original *Kyle & the Gang* series would have been the more cheaper option. The original series continued to be distributed in English-speaking territories.

Dubbing of this version commenced in May of 2020, starting at episode 1, and ended in July that same year, finishing at episode 56 (equivalent to 59); thus, completing the redubbed version. Episodes 1-56 (originally 1-59) of the redub were voice-recorded at Funlight's in-house services, which also provided the post production. The episodes used an alternate music soundtrack in an effort to make the dub sound "lively and beautiful". Unlike the British dub preceding it, this dub did not feature the original music (except in most episodes). The soundtrack featured a new theme song (the instrumental of which is borrowed from *Spot's Musical Adventures*) and some music pieces from Capitol Records' "Hi-Q" music library and APM Music, though most of the background music was recycled material from the German DRT dub. In addition, the episodes were "remastered" in order to make them more "vividly colorful". Because Funlight Entertainment was still helping with scripting and digital editing of other language dubs, the scripts used in the original English version was also used for this redub with some light revisions, and also used various custom title cards.

The United States, Canada, UK, Ireland and Australia received the original series. Though the redub began at episode 1 specifically due to the COVID-19 pandemic, India and Southeast Asia began receiving the redub from episode 43 onwards.

## Trivia

* *The Fur Thief* is not featured in a half-hour episode despite it getting its own redub. Though, clips of it can still be seen in the intro.
* Several script changes were made for continuity reasons and/or in an attempt to make the show "more welcome to the 2020s".
* One reference to the Coronavirus can be found in the episode "The Phone", where a Chinese food cashier threatens to kill Kyle, Eric and Liz with said disease. However, this wasn't present in the original version of the episode.
* The only episodes that weren't redubbed before dubbing concluded are:
	+ *Gianna's Bathtime*
	+ *The Pizza Stand*
	+ *Eric and Erika* (renamed "Eric's First Foxy Date")
* Mitchy Beausejour is credited in the final two half-hour episodes as Edward Thomas, Jr. for personal reasons.
* The redub notably saw improvements in the last batch of episodes, such as the original voicetrack being completely unchanged, the episode title cards now barring the *Rangeltoons* title and the absence of Bluevalley music cues.
* Several cartoon sound effects were initially added into the redub, but were removed later on as Funlight couldn't obtain them
* The episode "The Baby Seal" had its script entirely changed in the redub due to the original version's dialogue not being accessed by Funlight themselves.
* It is officially announced in November 2020 that this redub had officially ended production with half-hour episode 10, and no new redubs were ever produced outside of a clip from "Driving Test" featured in the 2023-24 season episode "Flashbacks 7".
* The intro for this redub survives in a watermarked copy which can be found on YouTube.
