Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott (partially found Arabic children's CGI animated TV series; 2001-2005)
Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott is a 3D animated children’s series made by Arascope. This series is notorious for being a blatant rip-off of the famous Christian series, VeggieTales. Wuz Wuz & Bott Bott aired on Disney Channel Arabia and MBC 3, and went on to win seven awards.
Availability
Not much information is known about this series, as it is very obscure. Twenty-six 13-minute long episodes (Nineteen episodes overall if combining the two-part episodes into one full episode each) of the series were produced. In 2014, all of Season 1 and a couple of Season 2 episodes have been uploaded by Arascope to their official YouTube channel. The remaining episodes were not yet available online for nearly a decade until Mooky uploaded the rest of the series to their official YouTube channel in the 2020s. In 2022, Mooky released the rest of Season 2 on their channel (albeit having some scenes cut for some reason), then as of April 2023, they released all of Season 3 (previously, a user ڀIsaQueڇ had uploaded incomplete and bad-quality recordings off of SAT7 Kids to YouTube between February and March of 2020), finally completing the series (except the uncut versions of most Season 2 episodes wouldn't resurface until 2024).
The series is currently airing re-runs on SAT7 Kids every Saturday at 1:15 p.m. CET (7:15 a.m. EST, 4:15 a.m. PST, and 11:15 a.m. UTC) and also being recently released on Mooky's official YouTube channel (without the opening and closing credits and also with some scenes cut in some episodes). Season 3 had a redub with a different voice cast for SAT-7 airings. The original version of Season 3 that aired on MBC 3 is uploaded by Mooky on YouTube but without the opening and closing credits. While most Season 3 episodes on Mooky's YouTube channel are uncut, Mooky's release of the original version of "Fatfouta" has a few seconds of the ending cut, leaving that one Season 3 episode partially missing in the case of its original version.
All 26 episodes of the show (with Season 3 using the SAT-7 redub version) are now available to view on SAT-7 Plus as of 2024, and every episode on there is by far uncut (however both parts of "Princess Sneezy" and Part 1 of "Fajita" have freeze glitches and are off-sync; The Season 3 finale "Fatfouta" is uncut despite using the SAT-7 redub version), resulting in most of Season 2 to now be properly found. A user has uploaded the episodes onto YouTube and fixed the aforementioned three episodes, though the uncut versions of "Princess Sneezy" Part 2 and "Fajita" Part 1 are still missing because of the glitches, making them the only two episodes (three if you count the original version of "Fatfouta") remaining whose uncut versions have yet to resurface.
Despite this, VHS releases of the show are known to exist and had been available by the branches of Cairo Sound Company for Audio and Video, but have been long out of print and, so far, none of them have been put up on any auction sites.
