Release Notes
In the English DVD Box Set release, rather than using the British dub, the American dub was included. This new dub was never released theatrically and is considered inferior by fans of the original due to it changing parts of the plot as well as character names ("Getafix" is changed to "Vitamix", "Vitalstatistix" to "Bombastix", "Cacofonix" to "Franksinatrix" and "Unhygienix" to "Fishstix"), and general dumbing down for an audience assumed to be unfamiliar with the characters.
The first English dub featured the voices of Bill Oddie, Bernard Bresslaw, Peter Hawkins, Brian Blessed, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Ron Moody amongst others. In 2010, the film was released on Blu-ray.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or notes:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
