* ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'': Chip Skylark's song "My Shiny Teeth and Me" featured a tooth with a female face, eyelashes and lipstick and all. In the Arabic dub this was cut. Not many people noticed this until a Twitter account called [[https://twitter.com/OutOfContxtDubs OutOfContxtDubs]] posted the Arabic song, with many Twitter users asking why the female tooth was removed, and being explained about the ValuesDissonance of the Middle East when it comes to female depictions.

* SpockSpeak: Imported media such as Disney movies and anime aired on Creator/{{Spacetoon}} is dubbed in Standard Arabic for the sake of being able to be understood by a wide audience, but some viewers may point out how it makes the characters sound like {{Creator/Al Jazeera}} newsreaders.

* DuelingDubs:
** ''{{Literature/Babar}}'' has three Arabic dubs. One was done by Al-Markaz Al-Arabi Studios in Jordan in the 1980's for broadcast on various regional television stations, and another was done by Venus Company in Syria in the late 90's-early 2000's for Eastern Vision S.A. and Creator/{{Spacetoon}}, likely because the elements to the original dub were lost. The third one was done by Neo Productions in Egypt (probably for [=KidsCo=]). The first two dubs have [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong different theme songs compared to the original version]].
** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' received two Arabic dubs, the first one is distributed by Young Future Entertainment and dubbed by Venus Center for Spacetoon and the second one was dubbed by Image Production House for MBC 3 and Cartoon Network Arabic.
** ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' has three Arabic dubs, the first two of which were made by Tanweer and the third of which was made by Venus Center. The original Tanweer dub covers the classic series and the second Tanweer dub covers the ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' season. The Venus dub also covers the ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' season and was made for Spacetoon.
** ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' has two Arabic dubs, one for Baraem and one for Spacetoon.
** ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'' has two Arabic dubs, one for Disney Channel and one by Venus Centre for Spacetoon.
** ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' was dubbed into Arabic twice. The first one (done in Syria by Venus Company) aired on Creator/{{Spacetoon}}, while the second one (done in Egypt by Video 2000) premiered on Disney Channel Middle East and later aired on [=KidsCo=].
** ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' had two Arabic dubs, both made in Lebanon. While the latter was made for the Arabic Cartoon Network (presumably because Turner Broadcasting could not get the rights to broadcast the original, as that dub's rights were held by Creator/{{Spacetoon}}), the original dub was restored for online and DVD releases.
* MisaimedFandom: ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'''s Arabic dub aired on Spacetoon. While [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpAHm2_Snd4 it was edited for content]], the show is still ''not'' for kids -- being aimed at adults and containing some often dark and crude themes.

* UnfinishedDub: Regarding ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', the Venus Centre dub for Creator/{{Spacetoon}} only dubbed the Garfield segments, removing the ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' segments all together. The opening was also edited to only feature clips from the Garfield segments (with only 3 parts of the original opening kept in). Garfield segments were censored too. Look at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkjwBpiZu2c this video,]] for example.

** An interesting example from the Arabic dub of ''Adventure'' and 02: To get past some extremely strict media regulations in a few countries its network, Creator/{{Spacetoon}}, served, the concept of Digivolving ''does not exist'' for this dub. Instead, the higher forms of the basic Digimon are their older siblings who live in an unseen base and "switch out" with their younger ones to fight evil. Also, in Tamers, the symbol on Calumon's head is digitally removed. Their reason? Because it looked too much like the Star of David.

Spacetoon is also affiliated with the Venus Centre company in Syria, which produce a good chunk of their dubs.
