Later it moved in Australia to Cartoon Network and Boomerang , which are also available in New Zealand. The dub features veteran anime voice actress Mona Marshall in the title role of Doraemon and Johnny Yong Bosch as Nobita known in the dub as "Noby". Many of the episodes that adapted chapters from the manga were extended to have a better conclusion or a good moral to the story.
