Production[]

Scriptwriter and co-producer of Hamster & Gretel, Joanna Hausmann, spoke on the production of a Latin American Spanish dub of the series on August 26, 2022. She stated that the dub "will have Venezuelan voices in the cast", mainly in the characters of the same nationality (given that the series focuses on a Venezuelan-American family).

At the time it was not clear whether the dub would end up being produced in Venezuela entirely (which was unlikely, given since 2008, all Latin American Spanish dubs for Disney Television Animation are done in either Mexico or Argentina). It was also not made clear if any other characters would receive Venezuelan voices as well, with the sole exception being Karina, who played La Cebolla in the original version; She was stated to have performed the Spanish voice of the character in the dub as well.[2]

Near the dub's premiere in February 2023, it was revealed that Disney instead went with Mexican voice acting talents, like the other previous Swampy shows Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law, incorporating no Venezuelan voices whatsoever. Not even Karina, whose character was eventually replaced by another Mexican actress.

It is important to note some Spanish dubs that aired on Disney were produced entirely in Venezuela, like Kid vs. Kat and Dude, That's My Ghost!, with the latest example being Holly Hobbie in 2020, although these series were acquired, and were not produced by Disney themselves.

As well, a few Argentinean dubs of 2010's DTVA series have been known to involve Venezuelan voice actors who are living in Argentina from time to time (such as the voice of Anne Boonchuy from Amphibia being Arelys González), which could not have been done for Hámster y Gretel since it is a Mexican dub. However, there are some Mexican voice actors from Venezuela that have yet to be used in the dub, like Jhonny Torres and Irina Indigo.
