Tell that to the English language translators of Asterix and Obelix.

[–]Nagashizuri 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, those guys did an amazing job considering how every single name in the series that wasn't a historical figure was a pun.

But no matter how good a translation is you inevitably lose something in the process.

If there's one thing that is not good, it is puns that are in one language and then you try to explain them in another language and it doesn't make sense cuz... the words don't match up, ya know? because, it's like...a different...language so it doesn't work.

What is a 'pooh' anyway?

[–]Nagashizuri 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, pooh is an exclamation expressing distaste, pretty dated though. If you pooh pooh something, you're saying it's rubbish, and pooh sticks was when poor kids used to get a stick, cover the end in shit from a public toilet, and wipe it on rich people's doorhandles.

But somehow I don't think any of those was what A.A. Milne had in mind.

I had always heard that 'Winnie the Pooh' was named due to the author's son, who had seen a bear named Winnie (named for Winnipeg, Manitoba) at a zoo, and just picked up the 'Pooh' surname on a whim.

Thanks, 'Heritage Canada'...

Regional variation?

[–]MonstaMasha 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not sure, the version I know involves two people dropping sticks over one side of a bridge into the river and seeing whose stick got to the other side first. Maybe it's regional variation, but I'm not sure how to get from dropping sticks into a river to smearing shit over rich people's door handles.

[–]Mr_Magpie 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously? There's a game in rural England called pooh sticks, where you get sticks, find a river and drop them upstream, then run to a certain point and whichever stick gets there first wins.

Yeah, we don't do much here in the country...

That movie doesn't look familiar. Is it a recent film?

[–]OrSomething 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's Disney's most recent Pooh film. A reboot of sorts, given that: a) it was the first Pooh film in ages to take plots from the original books and b) it wasn't shit.

In fact, it was pretty great. And I say that as a guy born right by the Hundred Acre Wood. I'm a very protective Pooh scholar. Or something.

I'm liking the sound of it. I think the last one I saw was The Tigger Movie.

[–]OrSomething 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The Tigger Movie wasn't... terrible. But this has John Lasseter overseeing the production and is good enough that it was deemed worthy of counting as one of the 51 Disney 'animated classics' - a title they've got a little less generous with after Chicken Little...

[–]whitefoot 0 points1 point ago

How recent? The artwork, particularly the background, looks very classic Disney.

[–]updownleftrightba 2 points3 points ago
