Hello, everyone.
-
In the last decades, the art of computer animated films is getting better and better.
-
Animated films are more beautiful, more complicated,
-
and of higher quality.
-
Nowadays, each little detail is important.
-
Some of you probably remember
-
the famous headphone mistake that was so commented on the internet a couple of years ago,
-
and it was finally done right.
-
But in several countries, some famous scenes from different animated films look quite different from the way they look in other countries.
-
You might not know this
-
but people working in animated films love their work and their audience.
-
And sometimes change that film.
-
to include some important aspect of this or that culture.
-
So, here are five animated films that look different in other countries.
-
Let's get it on.
-
Zootopia.
-
Many of you probably saw this film
-
and enjoy the quality of even most insignificant details of this zoo world.
-
So you probably remember the news show scene.
-
Two animals host in news show. In America, Europe, Russia, and other countries,
-
you can see a snow leopard and a moose.
-
But in China, for example, the moose is replaced by a panda,
-
a symbol of China and the favorite animal of many Chinese people.
-
In Japan, the film is also changed.
-
Instead of the moose, you can see a tanuki,
-
a small creature similar to a raccoon, which in Japan is a symbol of happiness or prosperity.
-
And in Australia and New Zealand, one of the animals is a traditional koala.
-
Why not a kangaroo?
-
Maybe in the world of Zootopia, kangaroo is not very suitable for TV programs.
-
Inside Out
-
In this awesome film, there's a scene with the main character has to eat broccoli,
-
but she refuses to point blank to do it.
-
And we probably understand why.
-
Kids do not love to eat healthy food.
-
Don't broccoli's one of the worst vegetables in the market?
-
Weirdly enough there is something wrong with Japanese kids because they love broccoli.
-
That's the reason why the filmmakers changed the broccoli for green peppers,
-
which are generally considered disgusting among Japanese children.
-
Understandable, given that it's very important for the kids to bond with the main character for film.
-
Apart from the broccoli scene, there was another change in the film.
-
There's a scene where Riley is watching soccer, the most popular sport in the world, but not in America.
-
In the U.S., soccer or football is by far not the most popular sport.
-
It's not Brazil, you know.
-
As the reason why just like they did with Japan,
-
the filmmakers changed the soccer scene for hockey scenes,
-
a more important sport in the states.
-
Toy Story
-
In the classic animated film, Toy Story,
-
Buzz Lightyear gives a speech while standing in front of the stars and stripes flag of the U.S.
-
There was something normal, given that the film was made in America.
-
But in other countries, it's what would have seen a little bit weird.
-
That's why the filmmakers decided to change the background.
-
But instead of drawing flags,
-
for each and every country, they put Buzz in front of the globe.
-
It was a simple solution to transform a patriotic speech into a universal one.
-
Monsters University
-
Probably one of the most difficult moments when adapting animated film to other cultures is changing the phrases that appear on screen.
-
If we are talking about the signboard,
-
it's not difficult to change the text, but there are more complicated situations.
-
For example, in the film Monsters University,
-
one of the characters decorates cupcakes with the phrase "Be my pal".
-
But in other languages, you might need a lot of space
-
and letters to write such a phrase.
-
But the filmmaker came up with a brilliant solution.
-
Instead of using letters, they just put a smiley face, and everyone's happy.
-
Planes
-
In this film, the creators went a little bit further,
-
and in different countries change the look and name of one of the main female characters.
-
In the original film shown in the U.S. and Canada,
-
children saw a pink plane named Rochelle.
-
In Russia, the same character is not pink, but painted
-
as the Russian flag, and its name is Tatiana.
-
And they did the same in many countries.
-
In Brazil, the plane's name is Carolina. She looks quite different.
-
And in Germany, the plane became Heidi.
