_____________
Although the original film was produced in English, the appeal of the story is universal. As a result, many other theatrical dubs were created with language tracks for the international community. With the advent of home video, the number of languages has increased and now includes Arabic, Cantonese, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish to name a few.
The following list of release dates is a work-in-progress and is far from complete. Updates will be added as more dates are confirmed.
