2:26 Americans: "Despicable me" 🤓 Germans: "I am simply incorrigible" 🍷🗿

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)

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.

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

4:00 in Ukrainian and Russian language it is normal to call your wife a mama if you have a kid

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

americans: «Despicable me » French people: « me,ugly and bad »💀💀💀

Finnish title for despicable me is "the villain himself"

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)

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.

In the mexican dub, "Buenas nuevas" is correct and means "Good news" as well.

2:29 In Hungarian language it's simply the name of the main character. American: Despicable Me Hungarian: GRU

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

American title : 'Despicable Me' Uzbek title 'Is it easy to be good'

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.

6:20 I'm from Russia and Russian is my first language that i spoke. I can't believe that russian dub have those incredible details and it's a respect to translators and voice actors for their incredible job😊

4:48 it's not a mistake! "Good News" translates to "Buenas Noticias", but saying "Buenas Nuevas" is actually correct too

In Polish the title is "How to steal the moon", so next movies have completly different titles

In french, it depends where, but in Canada we call it « Despicable Me » but in France, they call it « Me, ugly and mean » lol

I always found it interesting that the Swedish title is "Dumma Mej," which pretty clearly translates to "Dumb Me." perhaps it references Gru's MISadventure more than his adventure lol

MINIONS, TONIGHT WE STEAL THE MOON!

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.

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

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.

The guy who wrote "Satan" instead of santa has dyslexia 💀

In Vietnam, the movie is called “the moon thief”. Surprisingly, both of the sequels are still called “the moon thief 2/3”

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.

In Hebrew, the title is "Stolen on the moon" (גנוב על הירח), which is slang in Hebrew for "to love the moon"

0:01 ELIMINATIONS!?

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.

About the french version: -it has two voices for Gru; the cinematic version had a real voice actor which did correctly, but the tv version had a famous actor (Danny Boon) to attract more people; the translation worked better in the cinematic version because it sounded more natural -the french name of the film is "I, ugly and bad" because it's inspired by a french insult and expression.

America: “Despicable Me”😁 Korea: “sHoOpeR bADd”🤪

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

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.

In Slovakian the name is - Ja, zloduch. It means - Me, the thief. And the same meaning is for Czech.

Actually as a Mexican when we have good news we say “tengo buenas nuevas”as the movies says, Idk is this was a real mistake or just following the culture. I love ur vid❤❤

In French, it's "Me, Ugly and Bad"

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.

4:59 Its not an error, in Mexico, we call "Buenas Nuevas" good news.

At the end you made me feel bad for you lol, I really enjoyed this one!

Психотерапевт: англоязычный HIMA не сможет навредить тебе, он не существует. Англоязычный HIMA:

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.

4:09 in the Italian version, Edith says something like: “we won’t even be able to pull our new dad’s hair since he’s bald” lol

4:56 "Buenas nuevas" translates to "good news" It's a way of announcing positive or happy news :)

In Croatian, the movie is called "Kako je Gru Ukrao Mjesec" which directly translates to "How Gru Stole the Moon". To me this feels like an attempt to make the movie sound like a bedtime story which I find interesting considering the events that happen in the actual film.

1:59 No, the polish title of the first Despicable Me is just "How to steal the Moon", the Minions in the polish titles appear for the first time with the second Despicable Me called "Minions make a fuss"

As Malaysian, in Malay version in despicable me 3, When Lucy want to Save her daughter during Bratt attack at Hollywood, In English Margo, Edith and Agnes just call "Lucy" for help, but in Malay, they call Lucy "Mom" for help, Because, For not letting Kids saying parents Real Name

Hi, polish speaker here. First, great video, really appreciate your work. Second, polish version can be translated to both Saint Nicolas and Santa because we can use the same word for both of them

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.

6:30 I don't know why Russians do this, but if you watch the Russian dub of LITERALLY ANYTHING which has text that is important/relevant to the plot, they will voice over the text instead of writing over it or even subtitling it

English: Despicable me; The girls sell cookies; doctor nerfario says dancer boogie robots; the minions only speak their original language European Portuguese: Grumpy Gru; The girls sell scones; doctor nerfario only says boogie robots; sometimes minions talk their original language and other times they speak european portuguese

In Portugal the name of the movie is “Gru. O maldisposto” which means “The Grumpy. Gru”

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.

5:13 In the german dub Vector says: "Hey Gru. It really does depend on the size."

Despicable Me in Finnish is pretty funny It translates to "Itse ilkimys" which can be translated to "The evil one himself"

2:26 in brazil, its called "meu malvado favorito" wich translates to "my favorite bad guy" , idk, i think its kinda charming

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.

The title in french is "Moi, Moche et Méchant" which translates to "Me, Ugly and Mean"

In Portugal the name is "Gru o mal disposto" which translates to Gru the grumpy 😂

6:43 that honestly sounds so damn cool!

In Czech, the movies are called „Já, padouch“ which means "I, villain" And Margo's usage of formal and informal words is also present in the Czech dub

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

No, in the spanish version it was left the minion strange talking, maybe Netflix or some streaming sercvice did that translation, but normaly that is not the case, and in the latin spanish version news is said right, no hate, just for you to know.

4:44 Saying “Me deben estar tomando el pelo” is quite a common expression which actually has the same meaning as in english, because if you translate literally the expression from english it has no sense, so it’s just a coincidence that gru is bald and says that phrase.

I live in Brazil, here the name of the movie is "Meu malvado favorito" which in literal translation is: "My favorite bad guy" or "My favorite Evil guy"

American: dispicable me Danish: gruesume me

"Tomando del pelo" isn't made for the movie and is actually what we say when we're being teased or when someone jokes about something that makes you mad or uncomfortable. It's also used when someone is trying to make you believe something that ain't true :)

In Swedish its called ”Dumma Mig” which translates to dumb me.

"MINIONS,TONIGHT WE STEAL THE MOON!" This is why in Poland the move subname is "And how to steal the moon"

In Hebrew it's called... well, it's complicated. The name would literally translate to "Stolen on the Moon". Now, I know, that sound like nonsense. But in Hebrew, being "stolen on a thing" is a weird (and not that common nowdays) phrase for being very amused by something / liking it very much. Yes, it's kinda bizarre. And actually, a more common version of that phrase is being "dead on something". Yeah. "I'm dead on you" is considered to be a compliment, and quite a sweet one that is being used by family members for example. Anyway, regardless of the existence of the phrase, the choice of using it as a title disconnect entirely from the original meaning is very questionable, and I'm glad we at least aren't the only ones

In finnish we call desbicable me "itse ilkimys" which means the villain himself

In hungarian the movie is just called "Gru"

3:19 holy shit, Dave going "Perdon" is fucking adorable, I demand the minion's made up language be replaced with Spanish Internationally

Here in Latin America, Minions speak Minionese (or whatever you call it) also, in the South America title is “Mi villano favorito” my favorite villain, without the gru.

For extra, the Hebrew version of the film it's called: "גנוב על הירח" or "stolen on the moon"

It's pretty normal for the dad to address the mom as "mom" when their children are present. The reverse as well.

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???

Sweden: Dumma mej/ Dumma mig, translating to stupid/dumb me. Mig & mej translates to me with mig being how it’s actually spelt (and probably pronounced long ago) and mej being how it’s pronounced.

Some fixes: 1. Vector said something more like "kurka", which means, chicken, type of mushroom or more friendly version of the polish K word 2. "Mikołaj" is also used in polish, its short for "święty Mikołaj, or english "Santa Claus""

3:08 Fun Fact, in Polish they also speak Polish with odd gramar, in a scene where a Minion gives a doll to one of the girls he says: Dla ciebie to(For you this is).

In the Brazilian Portuguese version, the movie is called "My Favorite Bad Guy", almost the same as the Spanish version

Mexican here, I wouldn't say there's a mistake on "Buenas Nuevas", we pretty much understand it as "This time, good news!" although "Buenas" and "Nuevas" have a lot of meanings depending on the context.

In Brazil i think they call it something like "My favorite evil"

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!

In Lithuanian, the title is "Oh evil me."

In Italian it's called "cattivissimo me" which is literally "I'm really evil, despicable me"

2:31 - In Finnish, the movie is called "Itse Ilkimys", which translates to "The Rascal Himself" or "The Meanie Himself"

The French name for despicable me in french is probably something like this “moi, moche et mechant ” which means “ me , ugly and evil” 😭 3:41 the fact tintin is a famous comic book character that’s famous (probably more French or French speaking people know) is insane Edit : 200 likes?! :0

in latin american dub, margo also uses formal words when talking to gru in the beggining, and changed them to informal when she started trusting him, she refers to him as "usted" and "señor" when he first adopts them, and gradually starts changing it to "gru" and "tú" as the movie develops

American title: "Despicable Me" Ukrainian Title: "I am worthless"

In french, it's "moi, moche et mechant" that i can translate to "me, ugly and evil"

In the Brazilian version, the movie is called "Meu malvado favorito" that means "My favorite bad guy"

He didn't say kur*a He said "kurka" and it means chicken. It's like a familu friendly swear word? Like shoot or something

In Dutch it’s called “Verschrikkelijke ikke” which translates to “Terrible me”, which I always found to be extremely satisfying as it is an almost exact translation of the original tittle. The tittle is also a bit goofy as the word “ik” is the Dutch translation of me, but to make the tittle rhyme they turned it into “ikke”. “Ikke” is kinda like an old Dutch version of the word “ik” and is commonly used in the rhyme “Ikke, ikke, ikke, de rest kan stikken!” Which portrays narcissism and translates to “Me, me, me, the rest can choke!”.

in Brazil, the movie title is just "My Favorite Villain" and I HIGHLY recommend our version, not only Gru's accent is something non-specific and really just a tonge-snapper like the original, but there are many fun adaptations too. The fart gun one is the best, where gru says he asked for a "arma kabum" ("kaboom gun") not a "arma de pum" (straight up "fart gun")

"I Am Simply Incorrigible" 😂

2:35 in Lithuanian it is "awful me"

In Finnish version, the movie is called "Itse Ilkimys", which trabslates to somewhat like "The Mischief itself".

In the English version the minions speak a mix of Spanish, minionese, and english
