This Doraemon anime series is sometimes referred to in Asia as the Ōyama Edition (大山版), after Nobuyo Ōyama, the voice actress who voices Doraemon in this series.[2]
Two official English dubs of this anime series have been released, the first of which was called The Adventures of Albert and Sidney and was made in Canada by CINAR[3] and aired exclusively in Barbados on CBC TV 8 during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was planned to air in the US on Superstation WTBS (now known as TBS) but never premiered for unknown reasons. The second was made in Singapore and aired on Channel i & Kids Central[4] from 2002 to 2003 in Singapore. Additionally, an unofficial bootleg English dub by Speedy Video was produced and released exclusively in Malaysia on various VCDs.
The opening theme used for the weekly Doraemon series airing between 1979 and 2005 was Doraemon no Uta (ドラえもんのうた), which was performed by five different performers over the course of its years:
Two songs were used for a separate weekday Doraemon series which is a part of Fujiko Fujio Theater (藤子不二雄劇場, Fujiko Fujio Gekijoo), the first song being the same as the first song of the weekly series.
