هايدي (Arabic, 1984)

This is one of the first Arabic dubbings produced in the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s. The dubbing was produced by a cast of Arab actors of various nationalities, being recorded mainly in Kuwait, in association with an American studio, located in Hollywood, USA. It also had the participation of the Jordanian singer Sameera Al-Takhry, in the opening and credits.

Adaptation

 * The original opening theme, Oshiete, was replaced by a traditional Arabic-style song simply titled 'Heidi', which was written by Kuwaiti Adel Asfour, and performed by Jordanian Sameera Nimri. Also, Asfour composed a song of his own for the credits, replacing the original ending theme, which was also sung by Sameera Nimri.
 * Despite the above, the rest of the music remains unchanged, largely retaining the Japanese soundtrack in the episodes.
 * All the credits of the series, both initial and final, are made by hand, something that was common at that time, being also written in handwriting.
 * Despite the fact that at that time copyright rules were not as common or strict as they are now, at the end of the credits the Zuiyo Eizo studio is credited, so it suggests that dubbing is legal. Added to that, all the original BGMs are used, and creditless images were received for the corresponding adaptation.
