| SpongeBob SquarePants |
Deep down in the Pacific Ocean in the city of Bikini Bottom lives a square yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple next door to his starfish friend, Patrick Star. SpongeBob works with Squidward Tentacles for Mr. Krabs in the Krusty Krab where, as head chef, he makes the delicious Krabby Patty.
A cult classic and a firm favourite with viewers on TG4.
We will have dubbed 141 episodes by the end of 2011. |

| The Muppet Show |
Starring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and a host of other outrageous, kinetic Muppet characters (everyone has a favourite), The Muppet Show was produced by Jim Henson and his team from 1976 to 1981.
Having grown up with The Muppet Show, being asked to revoice this series was like reliving our childhoods all over again. Everyone wanted to do the voice of their own favourite character. Talk about competition! Our version of this show captured all that was great about the original while getting a few digs in on modern-day Irish life! |

| What's New Scooby-Doo? |
This was the ninth incarnation of the long-running Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The show follows the original mystery-solving formula of the series, with the classic gang encountering ghosts and monsters who invariably turn out to be people in disguise.
Who hasn't tried to imitate Scooby or Shaggy's voice? This was fun to write, act and record and has become another favourite for the meddling kids watching TG4. |

 |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender |
Set in an Asian-influenced world of martial arts and elemental manipulation, the series follows the adventures of the latest of a long line of Avatars, Aang, and his friends in a quest to save the world from the ruthless Fire Nation.
With its well worked plot lines, finely drawn characters, filmic visual qualities and superb sound we have dubbed the entire 60 episodes of this series. |

 |
| Duck Dodgers |
Based on the classic cartoon short Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, this series starred Daffy Duck and many other familiar characters from the Looney Tunes pantheon including Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian and Yosemite Sam. Oh, and did I mention that Tom Jones sings the theme song?
Our challenge in dealing with well-established cartoon characters under a different guise in a space-age environment was to make sure that Daffy's lisping 'S', Porky Pig's stammering and that classic Looney Tunes humour transfered to the Irish version. They did. |

| Looney Tunes: Back in Action |
Starring Brendan Fraser, this film combines live-action and animation to tell the story of DJ Drake who stumbles his way into a plot to possess a mysterious blue diamond. Drake is aided by his animated Hollywood friends, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
We combined the experience gained by us from working on the Duck Dodgers cartoon series, with its cast of Looney Tunes characters, with our other work in live-action dubbing to produce what we think is an excellent Irish language version of this film. |

 |
| Scooby-Doo The Movie |
This film, based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, stars Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Freddie Prinze, Jr., as Fred, Linda Cardellini as Velma, Neil Fanning as the voice of Scooby-Doo (who was created on screen using computer-generated imagery) and Rowan Atkinson as Emile Mondavarious.
From having produced an Irish version of the Scooby cartoon series we came to this film with a cast, but as the acting styles and sound quality are of a different nature compared to live action, we worked hard to make it just right for our audience. |

| Kangaroo Jack |
Forced to deliver mob money to a Mr. Smith in Australia the heroes of this story drive into a kangaroo who, after regaining consciousness, hops off with the money. The film then follows their attempts to retrieve this $50,000. Stars Jerry O'Connell, Anthony Anderson and Christopher Walken.
Getting the correct translation into Irish of the English script, achieving the right language register and also forming the lines in such a way as to synch-up with the lips was the challenge of this film.

| Scooby-Doo 2 - Monsters Unleashed |
Daphne Blake, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo returned in this sequel to Scooby-Doo – The Movie. The cast were joined by Alicia Silverstone as Heather Jasper Howe.
Working on our second Scooby feature gave us the opportunity to implement what we learned from the first film and to sharpen and refine our work. |
|
 |
| The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie |
Based on the TV series SpongeBob SquarePants, this film follows the adventures of SpongeBob and Patrick as they undertake the treacherous journey to Shell City to retrieve King Neptune's stolen crown. This film has the classic song 'Now that we're men', and also an appearance by David Hasselhoff!
We couldn't wait to get our hands on this film and when we did we were given 5 weeks from start to finish to produce and deliver. We undertook this challenge with relish!
