Differences between Faule
Paula (German)
and other versions of the show:
From Episodes 1 to 23 the show had several differences, mostly the
intro, episode title cards, and the credits. These little details were
changed in later episode productions, except for the show's title in
the intro. The changes were carried over to the international dubs of
the show, including the first 23 episodes. There are other minor
differences in some episodes as well that I know of, but haven't yet
noted 'em down. I will get to them later.
Intro sequence - The beginning part of the tune is a tad bit lower in
pitch, and this difference is even present in the French dub. Also, in the scene where
Lucy starts thinking of an idea,
Lucy makes a "tired" pose of sort before thinking. The trees in this
same scene lack the bushy leaves on them, which might possibly suggest the show
started production in spring/autumn of 2002/2003. The screen
also
fades to black a bit during the transition from Lucy laying on the
grass field to outside of Lucy's home. Lastly, the title of the show at
the beginning zooms out into the background as the latter zooms in,
rather than the background being static and just the title zooming in.
Episode Title Card - The background is animated rather than static.
Credits - The background of the credits is different, and isn't
animated.
