BIOGRAPHY
Powerkids Studios was a company formed in North America in 2002. Their aim was to bring fourth and voice act foreign children's media to a North American audience with appeal to the children's demographic in those countries. Their process was to order a dub for a certain show or animated film aimed for the target demographic they were looking for whether it be from Europe, Australia, Asia or Latin America and hire a group of American and Canadian voice actors to dub over the lines of the characters, in some instances changing the scripts and making new edits to the shows or movie to be localised and appeal to the North American audience.

These dubs would then be broadcasted on TV on North American television channels such as Playhouse Disney, Nick Jr, YTV and Teletoon. Many of these dubs were either Animated or Live Action. Some of the dubs were so popular that the whole series would be dubbed.

Powerkids Studios would go on to make dubs of 18 different children's foreign media from 2002 to 2013 before closing their doors and shutting down in 2014.
