Fun Facts
Trivia
- The Norwegian king that was in reign during the time the dub was made was King Harald V.
- The Norwegian prime ministers that were in office during the time the dub was made were Jens Stoltenberg and Erna Solberg.
- The Norwegian presidents of the Storting that were in office during the time the dub was made were Dag Terje Andersen and Olemic Thommessen.
- In this dub, pre-Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler episodes use the secular international versions due to the fact that 71.5% of the population in Norway are Lutherans.
- Like VeggieTales on TV and the classroom editions, some of the episodes were edited to remove some references to God.
- In all pre-Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler episodes, the Silly Songs were played at the end instead of in the middle.
- Some of the Silly Songs were different such as:
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything appearing on Where's God When I'm S-Scared?
- The Water Buffalo Song appearing on Madame Blueberry
- Endangered Love appearing on Dave and the Giant Pickle, with it appearing after Love My Lips.
- The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps appearing on King George and the Ducky
- The Star of Christmas, An Easter Carol, Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler and Larry Learns to Listen were all split into two parts.
- However, the fourth one was split up only when aired on Visjon Norge TV, while it remained one whole video together as full when on TV Vision Kids' website.
- Very Silly Songs! has a few differences from the original American version.
- The VeggieTales theme is placed before the workout countertop segment (as usual like with all other episodes with secular international versions, and it uses the 2001-2003 theme song).
- A title card for the episode is added between the VeggieTales theme and the opening segment.
- A new goof makes it into the workout segment (the opening segment); when the camera cuts to a long shot of the countertop before Larry says "I hope you're ready to sweat!", a question mark appears on Larry's mouth for a split-second before he starts talking.
- After Bob says "Actually, this is the very first VeggieTales sing-along tape", the rest of the segment where Bob explains they are going to put the lyrics on the bottom of the screen and the peas typing on Qwerty's keyboard was cut, due to the songs being textless in this version.
- The title cards before each song have a different look compared to the original (with the exception of the Silly Song title cards).
- The songs as seen in the episode use a textless version.
- Dance of the Cucumber and Lagoon Song were omitted to fit the running time the secular cut requires.
- The two songs were bizarrely still kept listed in the credits.
- Strangely enough, the 2006-2009 episodes use the 2010-2013 theme song.
- Unlike most other episodes, the versions of 2006-2014 episodes seen on På Sporet are uncut.
- This, the Russian voiceover, the Hebrew dub, the later Arabic dub, and the SAT-7 Pars Persian dub are the only international versions of the show to dub episodes from 2009 to the present time.
- Gideon: Tuba Warrior and all episodes afterwards are in 16:9 rather than 4:3.
- Oddly enough, the På Sporet website places LarryBoy and the Bad Apple after Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue, thus having it replace Abe and the Amazing Promise.
- In Larry Learns to Listen, Josh and the Big Wall! was redubbed, with the exception of the songs being reused from its previous dub.
Remarks
- Larry is given a slightly deeper voice, compared to all his other international voices.
- Even though Larry-Boy's name is changed to "Super-Snurk" for his first two appearances, it is oddly reverted to his original name (albeit with "boy" being lowercase and with both parts of his name having a space in between) for LarryBoy and the Bad Apple.
- However, "Super-Snurk" is still used for dialogue.
- Even though Josh and the Big Wall! itself uses the secular international version, the version used in Larry Learns to Listen is uncut but present the way it was in the actual episode (where part of the opening countertop was cut).
- When Larry Learns to Listen aired split up into two parts on Visjon Norge TV, both countertop segments appear in both airings. The song appears within Josh and the Big Wall! in the second part.
Goofs
- Even though the visuals are left in English, the title cards for some episodes are not read out loud.
- During Princess and the Popstar, Mr. Lunt says part of "We are so on it!" in English ("on it" was only translated to Norwegian).
- During Dance of the Cucumber, Larry mispronounces the words "mantequilla" (he pronounces the letter U, even though it is supposed to be silent), "vegetales" (he says it with a J sound for the first time, even though it is supposed to be pronounced with an H sound if it is before the letters E or I. The second time, however, he says it as if a U was next to the letter G, which is completely false), and "desearia" (he says it as "desaira").
- In The Star of Christmas, "The show must go on!" is untranslated.
