Alfred J. Kwak - Ep1 - Alfred comes to life (English) [1/3]

[@islamalsouse8178]

now I am backing 20 years ago when i watched this movie at first time i had just six years old , all of the time I hoped to have a friend like Alfred.

[@LEVLB]

this was my absolute favourite show when i was a little kid!! though i watched it in hebrew and it was called 'shaltiel kwak' but so happy i finally found it, my parents tell me i was obsessed with this show :P

[@lyricrogersofficial]

To be honest I watched this show in both English and Dutch :)

[@Saffya]

Despite the dreadful English dubbing I'm really glad you upped these. I've watched this episode alone in Finnish, German, Dutch, Japanese, but not in English until now, so it's great!

[@Jamster8399]

If the show is broadcast in America, I could imagine Hank with a Southern Drawl and Dolf with a German accent

[@fan-done1856]

Jamie Gibson where’s the lie?

[@KalleVilenius]

This is the most epic cartoon ever!

[@blyjd91]

I find it strange how Alfred's middle name is Jonathan here, yet in Swedish it was Jeremias. And if you watch the original dutch dub it was Jodocus. How odd.

[@jefmetdeklak]

In the Dutch version of the first episode the middle name Jodocus is explained as little joker. I believe the mole 's grandfather was a joker too. I love this show but I can't believe how bad this sounds in English. It sounds like someone is doing a bad audio book acting.

[@apenneukende]

no it doesnt and you suck

[@gammeltfossil]

It's still better than the danish dub i grew up with. Believe it or not.

[@HardDiskDog]

+gammeltfossil What's wrong with it?

[@semajttam]

What a fantastic theme tune!!!!!!!!

[@jinakane1677]

My memories as kids, luv it.

[@miffomizer]

thanks for the memories!

[@idimidii]

Thank you so much for the 12 episodes so far.. It's soo hard to find Alfred in german. I loved watching it when i was young, but english is nice as well.. ..except from that not matching intro-song ^^ thanks again :-)

[@DeejvilleTV]

I remember they used to show this early mornings in the mid-nineties on Channel Four. I used to get up early to do my homework for school. I used to love the theme tune but the voice acting is terrible.

[@Yatukih_001]

+DeejvilleTV That´s what happens when you become raised by moles. You develop a terrible voice. Thank heavens I haven´t been raised by moles. Lucky me. Lucky you too that we didn´t have to go through that shit.

[@generalflood]

Is there a version of Alfred J Kwak with the original voices but just english subtitles?

[@hjairoh]

It is not ONLY about WO2, but it is on of the major topics treated in the story. Another big&important subject explaned in the story is:THE AFRICAN APARTHEID.Just as DOLFs CHARACTER is based on and named after ADOLF HITLER is WINNIEs character based on and named after WINNIE MANDELA, the ex wife of NELSON MANDELA, and KWAH WANAs character (winnies father) is based on NELSON MANDELA. Other smaller subjects explaned are whaling and environmental damage by oil extraction.

[@stefanaguilera3582]

Still here 😍

[@brotherhood_of_harkonnen]

I Hungarian edition they translated Waterland as Ireland. In Hungarian they are vízország and írország :)

[@Issinder]

Interesting to see this in English. The voice acting is making me rather sad, though. Give me the Dutch version any day. :)

[@Fellow_Traveller1985]

Childhood memeories!!

[@planszecista29]

wychowałem się na tej piosence.. i uczyłem sie nagielskiego...

[@gman8471]

When I watched this as kid on Saturday mornings I didn't realise it was Dutch. Probably why it always seemed a bit weird.

[@SimaoFan]

@Dougurasufilm think of it as like ed edd n' eddy sfx with realistic background noise and decent music... thats the only way i can explain it

[@Balnazzardi]

@BelatedCommiseration Well that clawed monster was never shown in any of the episodes...deleted episode perhaps? Anyway Alfred J Kwak is supposed to reflect 20th century you know. The fall of monarchy, the rise of and fall of National Socialism, then later Waterland turns into democracy. Also drugs (or doping), war because of religion (middle east crisis), overfishing, desertification, acid rain are all mentioned in the series. Overall it's very educational for "children's program"

[@BaconStein]

That is not what I expected him to sound like

[@NoshNosher]

This isn't even Alfred ...

[@emofestjazz]

german one is the best one

[@antimonni]

I liked the english theme song very much but dubbing didn't convince me at all... Used to watch this in finnish when I was young :)

[@Silkemusen1]

That Was my favorite show. I remember, i always felt really bad for Dolf, but now i don't. He's a dick 😂😂

[@503Service_Unavailable]

Why the background music and sound effects/sfx is all echo?

[@Mirrirocks]

Huh. That's not how Alfred sounds like in my memory

[@Yatukih_001]

+Mirrirocks I watch it in Icelandic and in Kwak.

[@Drawyah]

That's not Alfred, but his father Johan.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

I remember this series being so strange. They seemed to bring in everything from everywhere. At one point I remember that Dolph the school bully becomes an avian Hitler and everything seems to become the third reich. However in another episode, as I can see here in the list of episodes, they have fowl version of Michael Jackson and everything seems up to date. And what the hell is that thing with the claws that picks up alfred in the credits?

[@ToonfieldAnimations]

inderdaad, helemaal niet slecht gedaan :) ik vind deze ook best leuk. mja nederlandse blijft beste XD

[@RunyaEithelNar]

Ja też = D (Me too!)

[@Furgemancs]

rurmundo: Then don't watch it if you hate it!!!

[@Dougurasufilm]

What the hell is up with the background music and soundeffects?!!! I can't believe they let this air :o

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Double interlacing???

[@Dougurasufilm]

@SimaoFan I'm sorry?! Compared to what it's supposed to be, this doesn't sound like decent music O__O and realistic background noise and.... ed edd 'n eddy sfx?! Sorry, it's just a mess up from someone.

[@jaynaia]

Still prefer the dutch version

[@felixml19]

at 5:46 there is eyes in sky...

[@HulluRichie]

...No singing? D:

[@MrAllenCrown]

omg these murderers what have they done with the opening song

[@tsubaki4106]

Why does Henk wear a hard hat, anyway?

[@michaelwalsh9616]

+tsubaki410 he's a mole

[@tsubaki4106]

michael walsh So?

[@michaelwalsh9616]

Moles dig in the ground, miners dig in the ground, miners wear helmets so mole wears helmet. It fits the character y'know?

[@MMaRsu]

Wow horrible intro O_o
