Mew Mew Power (French)

Mew Mew Power is the French dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. Like most European countries, France received the first season from 4Kids. They got the second half from the original Japanese license holders and it's one of the few Mew Mew Power dubs that actually finished the series. It began airing on on Télétoon with repeats showing on Télétoon +1 and France 3.

While most of the English names (with the exception of a few characters) are kept, a lot of changes and plotholes from the English version were fixed in the dub due to them actually dubbing the 2nd half of the.

The version keeps the setting in Tokyo and while some of the ages remained the same from the English dub, some of the characters' ages (most notably Wesley and Kikki) were changed back to their original  ages to avoid plotholes in certain scenes. A lot of the sarcastic talk and puns were removed from the first half of the when it was dubbed as well.
