Back in the 80s-2000s, hack (Macekre-styled) dubs were running rampant throughout the anime boom in America, these dubs would include rewritten plots, hammy voice acting, replacement music, censorship, and bowdlerization of the source material. Fans hate this practice back then because it was treated as a marketing strategy rather than getting the draw of the series. Most of the worst cases of this came from 4kids entertainment. So did heavily edited dubs really make anime more eniovable back in the 80s-2000s?
Did heavily edited early dubs help the anime industry back then?

Xilam is one of my most favourite animation studios, I enjoy alot of their cartoons from Hubert and Takako, Oggy and the Cockroaches and Zig and Sharko. Xilam is a studio that has inspired many and has created endless classics that we enjoy.
What's your most fond memory of Xilam?

Given how Drew Barrymore's production company Flower Films has mainly made live action projects for older audiences, them producing the TV special Olive The Other Reindeer and the Netflix preschool show Princess Power are definitely quite unusual. It would certainly explain the humor of the latter.
