I think adding a Koala for Australia is actually very cute! Though I thought with Japan, since they have a shrine to Nekogami Jinja (the Cat's God Shrine), they'd maybe use a cat as a broadcaster.

Coco: Title Change In Brazil

Marcio Chan Yu 3 years ago

Portuguese native speaker here. "Coco" in portuguese means coconut, and "cocô" means poop. Personally I didn't think it was necessary to change the title.

Small changes like these really help bring a film’s message across far better. And it really makes you think about how we take a lot of things for granted, even though people from different cultures and countries might have a totally different take on life.

Of course, each and every change can eat up dozens (and sometimes even hundreds) of extra work hours. But I think that most of us can agree that being flexible in how certain scenes are handled makes the international audience more invested. Hats off to the animators, producers, and editors who do all the hard work.

Disney and Pixar director Pete Docter told Tech Insider that in the particular case of ‘Inside Out’ the team wanted to make the ideas and emotions work for an international audience, not just a domestic one.

“We learned that some of our content wouldn’t make sense in other countries. For example, in Japan, broccoli is not considered gross. Kids love it. So we asked them, ‘What’s gross to you?’ They said green bell peppers, so we remodeled and reanimated three separate scenes replacing our broccoli with green peppers,” Docter said.

Of course, the broccoli change wasn’t the only one. One scene, where Riley’s dad’s mind was busy thinking about hockey during dinner, was changed to feature soccer because it’s an incredibly popular sport worldwide. Overall, Docter revealed that they localized 28 graphics across 45 different shots. And that’s just in one movie!

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

As someone who has done Japanese->English translation, I can totally agree. Translating words is the easy part. Making everything fit in an appropriate social context to get the same meaning is much, much harder.

Most of these are pretty cool, but why bother to translate on-screen text? I don't see point unless you're going to translate it for every language on the planet. (My native language never gets this treatment) Subtitles translate speech and on-screen text anyway.
