United States and Canada November 2013 on Amazon Kindle Turner Broadcasting System acquired the US rights to Doraemon in 1985 in a co-production with the scandal-plagued Canadian children's animation company Cinar (now known as WildBrain), entitled The Adventures of Albert and Sidney. Both companies planned to air the first 50 episodes that year on what was then called SuperStation WTBS, but due to unknown circumstances, the series did not air on the network as planned. It did, however, end up airing on CBC TV 8 in Barbados during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1]

TV Japan aired Doraemon in its original Japanese version without subtitles[citation needed] in the US and Canada from May 2012 until March 2014. The U.S. dub of Doraemon started airing on 7 July 2014 on Disney XD in the US, Disney XD aired a few episodes of the show in Canada in the summer of 2015 for two weeks before pulling it.

On 14 November 2008, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur 2006 was screened in its original Japanese version with English subtitles in the Washington, D.C. area, marking the first time Doraemon ever made an appearance in the United States.

Bang Zoom! Entertainment premiered an English-dubbed version of Stand by Me Doraemon at the Tokyo International Film Festival on 24 October 2014.

Foreign streaming service Netflix released an English dub of Stand by Me Doraemon 2 in Japan on 6 November 2021 featuring the return of the voice cast of the English dub of the 2005 anime. Netflix also released the dub around the world on 24 December 2021. In North America, Viz Media is the master licensor for the series, but like all other Fujiko Fujio properties, it never had an English release. Back when the company was known as Viz Communications, they had plans to publish the manga in English in the early 1990s. But, due to the large amount of crude humor, and perverted moments that would have to be censored (one example being the numerous bath scenes featuring the female character, Shizuka), the license was eventually removed.

The Doraemon Exhibition originally presented at the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum was heading overseas for the first time. The "Meet! Doraemon" exhibit was shown in at Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. The exhibit opened on 15 February-20 April 2014.

Telemundo aired the Latin American Spanish dub of the 1979 anime making this the first time the 1979 series could be seen on American airwaves from 2001 to 2004.

Brazil

[edit]

The 1979 series had a first distribution attempt by Everest Video in the late 1980s, but the acquisition did not materialize due to the high cost of license at that time. In October 1992, distributed by WTC Comunicações, Doraemon was broadcast under the Doraemon, O Super-Gato Portuguese title on Rede Manchete children program Clube da Criança. However, the number of dubbed episodes was less and the series was not successful. In 2001, Creative Licensing tried to redistribute the series on television, but was unsuccessful.

In 2014, Sato Company in association with Rose Entertainment from Mexico, distributed the 2005 series under the Doraemon, O Gato do Futuro Portuguese title.[2]

The 1979 series was licensed by Rose Entertainment in 1999 for the entire Latin American region. A Latin American Spanish dub produced in Mexico under the Doraemon, el gato cósmico Spain's title has been distributed in most countries. In 2014, Rose Entertainment licensed the 2005 series under the same title.

Bangladesh The manga hasn't been released. Bangladesh got Disney Channel India, which used to air Doraemon. In February 2013, Bangladesh banned the airing of unapproved foreign satellite television channels, particularly Disney Channel India, due to concerns that children would learn Hindi instead of Bengali.[12] The government also banned other channels such as Disney XD India and Pogo TV.[13] The Hindi dub was not completely banned as Hungama TV was still available. However Hungama TV stopped airing Doraemon in January 2018.

Later on, a Bengali dub was brought by Ddhoni Chitra Ltd. for episodes of the 1979 anime and has been airing on the cable channel Asian TV since 1 April 2014.[citation needed]

Indonesia 1991 by Elex Media Komputindo Doraemon was first aired by RCTI, as its first program during trial broadcast on 13 November 1988.[14] For two years, until 2 December 1990,[15] RCTI stopped airing Doraemon, and later started again on 7 December 1990 on Sunday at 9:00 AM. Later the airtime was moved to 8:30 AM on 12 May 1991[16] and finally to 8:00 AM on 2 June 1991. RCTI later maintained this airtime until early 2021 and still airs the cartoon to this day (since 2011 they air the 2005 version), making it the longest continuously airing animated television program in the country. It was also aired by former affiliate SCTV from 27 August 1990 until 22 August 1993.[17]

RCTI also has aired this series in short-lived airtimes such as every day in mid-2000s and on Saturday in early 2000s.[18][19] In 2018, the airtime was extended to one hour (from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM on Sunday), but later in early 2021 it was reduced to original (30 minutes) and the timeslot moved to 8:30 AM.[20] On 14 April 2024, the timeslot reverted to the original (8:00 AM).[21]

There are some important things about Doraemon's airing in Indonesia. During its early broadcast (mainly from 1990-1991), RCTI sometimes stopped Doraemon's broadcasting, however this was not continued after 1991. Doraemon is also the first Japanese cartoon to be aired in Indonesia (during this time, RCTI mostly aired US cartoons).[22] Doraemon's airing in Indonesia also had differences with original Japanese version: the title card, especially from 1979 version are edited and replaced, and because of advertisements, sometimes RCTI cut the length of episodes (for example, from 10 minutes to 5-8 minutes). From 2011-2014, despite having officially aired the 2005 version, sometimes RCTI still aired the 1979 version albeit with changes of title card and voiceover.

In addition to original series, RCTI sometimes aired Doraemon movies in morning, on weekdays. This series has high ratings: on one occasion (November 2017), Doraemon's rating was higher than soap operas, a staple for many television stations in Indonesia.[23]
