Hey top tenners, what’s going on?
I’m your host joce welcome back to top 10 beyond the screen.
We’re giving you guys bonus content at the end of each video now so make sure you stick
around for that.
And don’t be shy, come find us outside of youtube, our social media links are all down
in the description.
If you’re an animation fan then you’re obsessed with magic that Disney and Pixar
have created.
But some of your favourite Disney movies might look a little different depending on where
you are in the world when you’re watching it.
Which is kind of a weird thought, and maybe you didn’t even know that this was a thing.
Sometimes there are changes in the movie to better suit a country for their international
release.
Let me explain these changes to you with today’s list of Top 10 Disney Movies That Were Changed
In Other Countries.
10) Starting off our list at number 10 is Inside out.
In the U.S it’s well known that broccoli is a vegetable that most kids stay away from.
So when picking a vegetable that little Riley doesn’t want to eat during one scene, it
makes sense that they would pick broccoli.
It’s the standard green vegetable that kids don’t like.
However, test audiences in Japan didn’t understand why she would be rejecting a vegetable
that is so popular in their culture.
Broccoli is actually really popular in Japan, even by kids; it’s a big part of their culture
and food.
So if you watched the movie in Japan, you would see that they switched the broccoli
in the scene to green peppers, because they are a more controversial food over there.
And for the record, I think broccoli is equally hated over here in Canada too.
I love broccoli now, but eating it as a kid was torture.
9) Up next at number 9 is Toy Story 2.
In the 2nd movie, Buzz makes this big motivational speech to the rest of Andy’s toys, trying
to inspire them during their search for Woody.
The original version of the movie shows Buzz standing in front of an American Flag while
he’s giving his speech, with the national anthem playing in the background.
You know, for some extra dramatic effect.
However, when it came to the international release, they replaced the American flag with
a globe and the background music was called One World Anthem.
They figured that it might not have the same effect in other countries if it was focused
on American unity.
And it’s the perfect solution really.
Rather than changing the flag and anthem to match every country for individual releases,
just use a worldwide option.
But why didn’t they just do that from the start is my question?
8) Coming in at number 8 is Zootopia.
First things first, we would know the movie as Zootopia because that’s what it was called
in the original version which was released in the U.S, Canada, and France.
However, the title was changed to Zootropolis for the UK release.
But there were some changes in the actual movie itself.
In the original version we met the animal news anchors: a snow leopard and a moose who
drinks out of a mug with a Canadian flag on it.
However, different animals were swapped into their place in other versions of the movie.
For example, in the New Zealand and Australian version, he’s a Koala bear, which is the
most obvious choice.
In Brazil he’s a jaguar named Boi Cha, and in Japan, he's a Japanese raccoon dog . And
in China the reporter is a panda.
It’s also important to note that they picked different actors that suited the international
changes better for each animal.
That is a lot of work to make so many changes so we gotta give them a round of applause
for that.
7) Sliding into the number 7 spot is Monsters University.
In the American version of the movie, Randall bakes cupcakes and decorate them with different
letters that spell out the phrase: be my pal.
And Mike comes by riding the Scare Pig and accidentally bumps into Randall and the cupcakes
go flying.
They end up landing on Randall’s face and the letters form the word: Lame.
Clever joke on Disney’s behalf.
But apparently they felt like this joke would get lost in translation for the international
releases, so they ended up changing the cupcake decorations from the letters to smiley faces.
It took away from the initial joke, but cupcakes landing on someone's face will always make
a kid laugh, so I guess it works still.
6) At number 6 is Planes.
They decided that they wanted to make a change for the different international releases,
to better suit each country.
The original hero in the movie is a Canadian lady-plane named Rochelle.
Of course, us Canadians would be thrilled thinking that they picked a Canadian to take
on that character design.
But there are actually 11 different variations of the plane depending on what country you’re
watching it in.
For Brazil she was Carolina, for Russia she was Tanya, and for Germany she was Heidi.
Each plane had her own special colour and design as well, so it wasn’t just a simple
name change.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is Ratatouille.
If you’ve seen the movie then you would already know that it takes place in Paris
France, which makes the culture throughout the film very important.
There are different languages available for the film but there’s one version that got
a little bonus translation.
You know the scene in the movie when Remy the rat reads a letter?
It appears in English in the original version but in the French version of the movie, the
letter is written in French.
Instead of there just being French subtitles, they wanted the letter itself to be written
in French to add to the Paris culture.
It seems like a small detail but when it comes to a French inspired movie, it only makes
sense.
And I’m sure the French audiences appreciated that.
4) Here we are at number 4 with Wreck it Ralph.
The movie introduced players in the game called Sugar Rush, one of them being a green haired
girl named Mindy Zeki.
The different characters have themes and hers is mint and candy apple, mmmmm.
Kind of weird flavours but I think it would actually taste good.
That’s not important though.
Her name is a tribute to a famous Japanese animator, Kayal Miyazaki, which is why it
surprised people when she got axed when it came to the Japanese version of the film.
She was replaced in the Japanese version with a character named Mindy Sakura, who looks
completely different.
You would think the Japanese culture would appreciate the reference but it is what it
is.
3) Alright guys, at number 3 is the movie Cars 2.
In this movie, the audience was introduced to what some say is the greatest race car
to ever exist: Jeff Gorvette.
He first became known at the Tokyo welcome party and in the American version of the film
he is a yellow race car with stars and stripes decal on the side.
He was voiced by the professional racecar driver, Jeff Gordan.
Pretty cool.
But this car varies in different versions of the film, all the way down to the voice
actors.
The spanish film has a blue car with red and yellow stripes, called Fernado Alonso and
the Chinese film has a red car with a big yellow star on it named Long G.
There is a whole list of different versions but what makes it so interesting is that they
only vary in that one scene at the Tokyo party.
2) Taking the number 2 spot on our list is Up.
You would probably never catch on to any of these changes because you were too busy trying
to see through all your tears.
It’s a minor detail that was changed from the original version of the film to a different
international option.
Back when Carl and Ellie were just kids, they started a change jar to collect money to fund
their dream trip to Paradise falls.
One thing they always bonded over was their love for adventure.
Ellie creates a label for the jar and writes Paradise Falls, pretty straight forward, and
they both start adding change to the jar as life goes on.
But in other countries, the jar is labelled differently and has a drawing of the falls.
What’s the point of this?
It’s easier for non English speakers to understand the meaning of the jar without
subtitles.
1)Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Coco; I made this number 1 because it’s
hilarious.
If you haven’t seen it; the movie is filled with a bunch of fun characters and music.
The title Coco refers to the character Miguel’s great grandmother, mama Coco.
Which is why it might surprise you that the movie got a totally different title when it
was released in Brazil.
Rather than being called Coco, it was actually called Viva.
A Vie by Yuma Festa, which means Cheers!
Life is a party.
So what’s with the change in the title?
Turns out that in Portuguese, the word Coco has a very different meaning and actually
stands for poop.
Because of the title change, they had to change the name of mama Coco, for obvious reasons,
so they changed her name to Lupita.
It was a simple name change that had a whole lot of impact because you can’t name a Disney
movie after a pile of poop.
Okay guys, that is our list for today.
