What's Wrong With International Dubs of Despicable Me?
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2024
- It's been 14 years since Illumination started taking over the world with Minions. As of writing this script, the fourth Despicable Me movie is hitting theaters. And while the quality of the films might be getting worse, I still think the first one was pretty decent. That's why I recently decided to watch it in many different languages: Spanish, French, Turkish, Chinese, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, German, and even Armenian. Believe me, these versions were packed with unexpected changes compared to the original.
4:03 - He's still her husband. Just in Ukrainian or Russian languages husband can call his wife mom, and wife can call him dad, because of the kids (for them to understand the roles in families and addressed to their parents as mom or dad)
That's occasionally done in English too, or at least in the American South.
im Ukrainian and true😊
same here we say that in lebanon too
This was in the past common in Czech and Slovak republics as well.
All correct buddy
2:26
Americans: "Despicable me" 🤓
Germans: "I am simply incorrigible" 🍷🗿
it‘s „Ich, einfach unverbesserlich“ which is not a sentence like „I AM simply incorrigible“, but would rather be translated to sth like „Me, simply hopeless“ or „Me, simply unchangeable“
This name sucks in my opinion. Almost everyone in Germany just calls this movie "Minions", even though it is completely different from the "Minions" movie.
Na, we call it "Unverbesserlich" (eng. incorrigible) at home or if someone doesn't know the series we will call it Minions because the Minions are much more popular.
In Norwegian its just Horrible me
I think the title we gave it fits relatively well for being such a drastic change.
It describes Gru’s character flaws quite well, he believes he can do anything and thus never learns from his mistakes, well until he does for character development purposes of course.
Polak here, in 0:48 he actually said "kurka" which means a mushroom or a small hen and is a family friendly version of the famous word you guys know
jak juz to kurcze
The way he stays on the RRRRR makes it clear to me that the intention was to so both, cut of Kurwa, and repleace it with a lesser curse
@@ar5n kurka też. "kurka wodna" etc
Last words of Vector in movie was "O kupa" but he said it so quietly that people could here "O k****!"
he does!
Slight correction: In Spanish dub they DO speak their gibberish language, they just happen to mix in Spanish words when the plot requires them to be understandable.
In Russian the movie is called "Гадкий Я"(Gadkiy Ya) which is just a direct translation of "Despicable Me"
And also the fart gun joke was adapted very cleverly, in the Russian dub Gru asked Dr. Nafario for a "Пугач"(terrifier) but instead got a "Пукач"(farter)
Damn, knowing that in some cases г and к sound similar, that is genius!

@@user-ik4fq6vd5v хааэхаха
A direct translation of "Despicable Me" would be "Презренный Я".
"Гадкий Я" means more like "Nasty Me."
4:05 married couples with kids do tend to call each other mum and dad, so just because he calls his wife "mom" doesn't mean he isn't her husband.
Kinky
Indeed. I’ve also seen that happen in French so I can confirm.
That happens often in my swedish family and I have observed the same in other swedish families.
yeah! imo its so sweet haha my parents do it :D
My parents did that when I was young
It's quite interesting and kinda funny to see how the video points out "problems" caused by the dubs, thought the comments prove the dubs are just adapting the story to the culture it is viewed in. Truly proves that dubs ain't simply about translating what is said on screen.
yeah that goes against all translator guidelines. it shouldnt be "correct", it should instead make sense to the target audience. translations are not meant to be an english grammar lesson
the same happens for foreign movies translated into american english. there are movies referencing things in their country, and english adaptations instead use their country equivalent, like changing the mention of a foreign amusement park into a popular english one, otherwise it will go over the target audience's head. ive also seen american adaptations change nationalities of characters entirely, because its likely the american audience does not know the original country
I think he is evaluating the dubs based on their english translations which adds an unnecessary filter that can make the dubs look weird. I wish he only evaluated languages he understood. If the dubs were direct translations, the target audience in those languages would feel the same kind of weirdness. This video is a prime example of what happens when someone who doesn't know enough about translation tries to critique translations.
I'm saying this based on the part where he said the Spanish translation says "Good New" rather than "Good News" but although my Spanish isn't very good, I think the presenter is saying "Buenos Nuevas" which is plural. That could be a mistake made by the person who translated the Spanish dub into English.
@@seagull2204 Well, you are mixing the plurals in English as well. English doesn't have plurals in adjectives, only in nouns (unlike Spanish).
● new (adjective, "not old") → nuevo/a(s)
● news (noun, "a recent event") → «noticia(s)» or «novedad(es)»
When did he say they were problems? He is just pointing put curious twists. He never said one was worse or better. Did he?
It's pretty normal for the dad to address the mom as "mom" when their children are present.
The reverse as well.
4:00 in Ukrainian and Russian language it is normal to call your wife a mama if you have a kid
@BerlinExpress2yea that is common in slavic languages

The same thing happens in Vietnamese - funny that it seems to be a world-wide phenomenon
The Polish version didn’t change anything, this is how Santa translates to Polish. Also, the title is „Jak ukraść księżyc”, which translates to “How to steal the moon”. It’s a reference to an old classic Polish story
Still Santa is not Saint Nicolaus in many other countries.

0:47 He didn't say "kurwa" but instead said "kurka" which means chicken in polish. "Kurka" or more commonly "kurczę" essentialy work like the english "fuck" and "frick" - It's a family-friendly edition of a common curse word, so no there are no f-bombs in the polish Despicible Me xd

This was a fun watch! The Danish title is a bit of a pun - “Grusomme mig.” It simultaneously translates back to “Despicable Me” and is a pun on Gru’s name, which, incidentally, is homonymous with a Danish word meaning “terror” ^^ I seem to remember him speaking in a generic Eastern-European accent in the Danish dub, though it’s been a while since I watched the movie, so that could be wrong
I'm spanish and I used to watch this movie as a kid and I do not remember the minions speaking spanish at all, what a mandela effect
must have been the latin american dub
It’s not a Mandela effect if there are proves that exist. Probably it’s another dub.
The Dutch title is very clever. It's "Verschrikkelijke Ikke", which is just a straight translation of "Despicable Me", but it also has the subtitle "en de rest kan stikke". This references a proverb, "Ikke ikke ikke en de rest kan stikke", which literally means "me, me, me and the rest may suffocate" and is something parents say to correct their kids' behavior when they're being selfish. It fits very well with both Gru's personality before his character development as well as the theme of raising kids.
Interesting
What a fucking joke of a language
Verschrikkelijke Ikke
Ik vind dat dat van ons er heel erg dicht bij komt
Hey, that's a cool move! Love it when they add a bit of local folklore into translations!
In Vietnam, the movie is called “the moon thief”. Surprisingly, both of the sequels are still called “the moon thief 2/3”
I did see some places call it "Tôi ti tiện" which is pretty close to the original but the name didn't stick cause the children don't care about Gru just the funny little banana creature
In Malaysia, it is Despise Me. I don't know but it is a little bit close to the movie's name
Similar situation with _Die Hard_ being translated to something like _The Glass Trap_ in many European languages, and that name was retained for the sequels despite only the first movie's plot revolving around a glass building.
2:19 Interestingly, in Brazil they went with the same approach, with the movie's title being "My Favourite Evil Guy." In Portugal, a direct translation of the title would be "Gru, the Ill-disposed". Both of this versions give Gru a Russian accent, although the execution differs: Brazilian Gru's accent feels harsher (like the voice is scratching his throat) yet not as heavily Russian, while Portuguese Gru's accent feels softer yet heavier. Another thing to note is that Portuguese Gru's voice actor passed away some years ago so starting in Despicable Me 3 Gru received a new voice actor, and his accent suffered some alterations in future movies because of that.
In french, it depends where, but in Canada we call it « Despicable Me » but in France, they call it « Me, ugly and mean » lol

4:53 it wasn’t a mistake, “buenas nuevas” is a Mexican slang that comes from a miss-translation of the word “news” but it’s a very old slang here

Its more of a saying, rather than slang tbh
I can attest that this is true, "buenas nuevas" is another way of saying good news. I'm more familiar with it from the bible, and christmas stuff

0:48 as an polish person i can say that he said "kurka" not "kur...". Kurka in polish is shortened version of "Kurka wodna' and it can be translated to english as shoot etc.
Or kurczę/ kurde
In polish he didn't say "kurwa" he said "kurka" it's like saiyng "heck" instead of " hell" or "fluff" in the place of "fuck". Kurka is a bird species.
Also a mushroom!
It’s like the American/English one, where he sounds like he says “shi*” but instead, he says “shoot”

In Mexico it is called "Mi villano favorito" as in "My favorite villain" The spain one adds the "Gru" for some reason.
Also, "Buenas nuevas" isnt wrong, its just another way to say "Good news"
The Mexican version also has a dart gun-fart gun joke, Gru asks for a "Torpedo" and "pedo" is an informal way to say fart.

In hungarian the movie is just called "Gru"
perfect
@@Chandelure_F-5 As the original title in Hungarian language would make zero sense. Nobody in Hungary would go to watch a movie with a... "despicable" title. (the movie also centered around Gru, so that's adds more to the simple title)
@@LordTchernobog Én aljas, én megvetendő, én alávaló stb. tényleg nem volna valami jó.
The Ukrainian dad calling the wife "Mom" is common in various locations worldwide, even in parts of the U.S. Essentially, while around their children, spouses may refer to each other as "Mom" or "Dad" (and variants) respectively, in place of their names or nicknames.
We do that here in Spain as well. Very interesting to know
@@Psyrgery In France as well!
Same in Italy. It makes sense, if the kids heard other names they would call their parents like that instead of mom and dad probably
yes, I’m American, its not used super commonly, but ive heard many couples call each other ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ usually around their children.
yeah in Finland this is normal and actually we can see that the way parents talk to eachother effects on how children talk to the parents. My cousin calls her own biological father by his first name and I’m sure most of the people (me aswell) think it’s very weird because we usually do that only if the father isn’t biological and the child is old enough to think they don’t think the man is their father and don’t have that kind of respect for the stepfather.
Actually polish title is just "How to steal the Moon". Minions got into title in "Despicable Me 2" witch was named "Minionki Rozrabiają" (Minions are making trouble).
It's actually second well known case of that type in polish movie translations, as first "Die Hard" was called literally "Glass Trap". It was okay, as movie take place in skyscraper, but then sequels came. XD
In Japanese, it's called 怪盗グルーの月泥棒, literally "Phantom Thief Gru's Moon Robbery."
Here in Japan, the minions are infinitely more popular because they are small and cute. Japanese tend to love side characters like this more than the main character or deuteragonist. For example, Lilo and Stitch. Japanese almost never ever mention Lilo (despite her popularity as a very relatable and endearing child character), but Stitch is so popular that he even got a Japanese anime where he meets another girl in Okinawa. Yeah, the literally wrote Lilo out of Lilo & Stitch.
The latest Despicable Me 4 is called 怪盗グルーのミニオン超変身 "Phantom Thief Gru's Minion Super Tranformation." The adverts of course feature more of the minions as well.
7:11 In Polish it's the only way to translate it. "Święty Mikołaj" can mean both Saint Nicholas and Santa. Always when I hear "Mikołaj" I think about Santa not Saint Nicholas.
Yeah I think there's no word for just Santa at least I've never heard it
In the croatian translation, the movie is called "How Gru stole the moon". The voice actor doesn't put on any fake accent, but he's a popular actor in our country and is a pure genius when it comes to voicing animated characters.
Ja sam hrvat!!
Wait, but what is the sequel called like?
@@johnnyRFisalegend "Gru on a super secret mission"
Third one is "How Gru became a good guy"
Fourth is "Gru and the minions: Master spies"
Cool, that's what Bulgaria did with Shrek! They removed the Scottish accent, no such existing in Bulgarian and any other accent may change the character a bit - however instead, he was dubbed by a famous comedian that looks a bit like Shrek.
The Polish title of the first movie was referencing a Polish story but, since Gru had his sights set on the moon in the first movie only, it didn't work with the sequels, so the distributors had to keep coming up with entirely new titles for them: e.g. the second movie's title references the Polish title of the original Gremlins movie (fits considering what Minions mutate into there) and so forth.
A bit late but in swedish it is called Stupid Me (Dumma mej) Fun fact added to the swedish translation: mej is misspelled, it is ussually spelled mig but is pronounced mej. It might be a stylistic choise or it might just be a plain mistake. We will never know
In Hungarian we decided to call it something special. We are known for making long, exhausting, complicated words, like Elkelkáposztásítottalanítottátok, so I was pretty sure it would be long and complicated too. We went with the name:
Gru 1/2/3/4

I know Polish and Ukrainian are quite similar, and from my experience as a Pole I can say that when it comes to families with children, calling the mother/wife "mom" by both her husband and children is quite common (at least where I'm from), so it may not necessarily mean she's his mother.

@@eeveeofalltrades4780 like one of those overly verbose memes, "The date of which a product ceases to be edible" for example, being a play on the animated short "expiration date.
Ich einfach unverbesserlich is good

Ukrainian explanation:
3:44 he's not "Athanasius" but "Aphanasiy" beacause this name is used as rarely as Justin (or so i think)
4:05 the reason why they translated it so, is because in families husband and wife dad and mom
4:25 it's basicly replacement for our kids, because we don't really know this charakter and is would be really out of place
5:18 yea it's obviosly for parents, we love to do this stuff because when kids get older they rewatch films and cartoons and see this type of jokes and such
Thanks for covering this whole translation theme, make more stuff like this!
Justin is a pretty common name though
@@My_Old_YT_Account Ok, i don't really know anything about names in different countries, so thank you for this info. Have a nice day!
In french, it's "moi, moche et mechant" that i can translate to "me, ugly and evil"
In french, the title is "Détestable moi" which does mean "Despicable me" or "Hated me"
1:32 As an Ukrainian, I will explain:we, Ukrainians love random French words. IDK why, we just do
Oui
@@noahrulezman Lol
This channel’s owner is Ukrainian btw
That's also maybe because illumination is a french studio...

4:58 this is just a mexican regionalism, it does translate to good news :P
In Brazil, the movie is called "Meu Malvado Favorito"
2:00 Title "How to steal the moon" meaning in Polish: "Jak ukraść księżyc" , it is supposed to refer to Kornel Makuszyński's book "About two men who stole the moon" (O dwóch takich co ukradli księżyc). The other parts in Polish are called: Despicable Me 2 > Minionki Rozrabiają. Despicable Me 3 > Gru, Dru i Minionki. Despicable Me 4 > Gru i Minionki pod przykrywką. Interesting fact: in the first part of "Despicable Me", some Minions speak Polish and the rest in the original language.
Fun fact: It was already mentioned by another commenter that in the Polish version the movie is called "Jak ukraść księżyc" (How to steal the moon), but I didn't see anyone mention that since they named the movie like that they didn't want the next movie titles to reference the moon, so Despicable me 2 was called "Minionki rozrabiają" (The minions are making trouble), the third movie was called "Gru, Dru i Minionki" (Gru, Dru and Minions) and the fourth one "Gru i minionki: Pod Przykrywką" (Gru and minions: Undercover).
Edit: Ok, I see that you mentioned the name of the first movie, except there was no "Minions" in it as I said. And the Minions movie from 2015 is just called "Minionki"
One of the changes I've seen in the Japanese dub is mainly the minions using Japanese words like replacing "toy" with "おまちゃ" (it also means toy). The title of the movie is 「怪盗グルーの月泥棒」it can be translated as "The Master Thief Gru Steals the Moon."
I may need to rewatch the movie again to see what else is different.

@テキシコ my bad, it was typo.
2:31 - In Finnish, the movie is called "Itse Ilkimys", which translates to "The Rascal Himself" or "The Meanie Himself"
2:18 Brazil's dub also goes with that route. There it's "Meu malvado favorito", the same as the Spanish title without the "Gru," in the start
6:42 Making it sound like an intercom is actually a really creative way to read the text. Well done, Russian dub
6:17 "It's not clear why they removed lyrics in russian version"
Proly bc it's mainly child-oriented film and 90% of russian kids don't know english???
Well, in the professional dubs it is common to translate original songs as well.
@@VORASTRA I bet they tried. But ended up with nothing bc words that rhyme in English rarely rhyme in Russian.
@@3ddd958 this doesn't stop the dubs of songs in children media especially
in poland, theres no word for santa. we call him Mikowaj (nicholas) and agnes said "just like nicholas" in that scene.
"I'm having a bad bad day
