First French DVD featuring episodes 1-8.
The French dub of Mew Mew Power sets it self apart from other Mew Mew dubs from the English version. While most of the English names(with the exception of a few charcters) are kept, a lot of changes and plotholes from the English version were fixed in the French dub due to them actually dubbing the 2nd half of the series.
The French 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 Japanese ages to avoid plotholes in certain scenes. A lot of the sarcastic talk and puns were removed from the first half of the series when it was dubbed as well.
The French version aired on the Teletoon channel in France.
Music[]
From the first half of the series, the French version dubbed the English theme song and both transformation songs into French. In the 2nd half, they took My Sweetheart, dubbed it and made it into a season 2 theme song. The other songs that were originally in the English version were replaced with instrumentals.
List of Songs:
- Season 1 Opening: Mew Mew! (Originally titled "Team Up!")
- 1st Transformation Theme: Animal Instinct (Same as the English song)
- 2nd Transformation Theme: In Our Nature (Originally titled "Supernatural")
- Season 2 Opening: They Are the Mew Mews (Originally titled "My Sweetheart")
