5. Censorship
The series was acquired by the children's channel Spacetoon. Due to this, the dub was aimed at children. This caused the show to be
heavily censored:
• All suggestive dialogue and sexual scenes were cut.
• Scenes depicting violence, gore and blood were removed.
• The scripts are rewritten in such a way that the plots of the episodes change drastically.
• All religious references are completely removed.
• Alcohol is removed, especially those of Bender.
• Any image where a character shows an uncovered body part (arms, legs, etc.) is censored, the frames being edited, or only cutting the scenes.
• The most noticeable example is that of Leela. The character, recognized by her sleeveless white shirt, in the original version usually always has her arms
uncovered. In the dub, blue sleeves are drawn in every frame that is possible (painting her arms blue), so that she looks like she is wearing a kind of blue neck
polo shirt. If Leela appears in the scene, and it is difficult to edit, it is likely that the scene will be replaced by some overlapping scene.
• In order to recover the lost time of the deleted scenes, scenes from this or other chapters are superimposed and others are frozen.
• For unknown reasons, the intro was also censored:
• The traditional sequence of flying ads that appear while the spaceship is in flight, along with the New New York transport tubes, are replaced
by a random clip of Bender dancing, and a pan of Planet Express. (Episode scene from Hell Is Other Robots)
