''Magic Serpent'' was released directly to television in the [[United States]] by American International Television in 1970. Despite the existence of an English dub commissioned by Toei, AITV had the film dubbed at Titan Productions, where voice actor Bret Morrison directed and gave voice to several supporting characters. AITV's version of the film is uncut, save for the opening credits: in Toei's version, the credits play over a montage of Jiraiya's training throughout his adolescence, while AITV editors Emil and Eli Haviv shortened the credits and used a montage of still shots of the Giant Dragon as a backdrop. The song "Forward, Jiraiya!" was also replaced by instrumental music from elsewhere in the film. Additionally, all of the monsters' roars were replaced with those of existing monsters: the Giant Toad uses [[Rodan]]'s roar, the Giant Dragon uses [[Godzilla]] and [[Gaira]]'s roars, the Giant Eagle uses [[Mothra]]'s roar, and the Giant Spider uses [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Kiyla|Kiyla]]'s roar.
