damn, i didn't know i needed this in my life
>>84314419
I dunno, Jackie Chan is awesome and all but the original was manlier, as badass Jackie can be his voice never sounded manly to me and this is a music about bcoming a MAN.

>>84321087
Wikipedia says he recorded it in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French. That's nuts. I wonder how good they sound to fluent speakers.
>>84314419
I had no idea Jackie could sing. I'm impressed.
>>84321141
He sounds great in Spanish.
>>84321141
I'm Latino and I guarantee you that Phil Collins sings better than many of our interpreters. actually he remind me of Eros Ramazzotti.

so americans prefer Latin Spanish than Spanish-Spanish? to me they sound alike
>>84320058
Wait, how did Tarzan's parents actually die? Did the cut to the leopard indicate that it killed them? Why didn't it also eat baby Tarzan?
>>84321792
Yep, Spaniards ruin all the good songs with their accent.

Sorry, to be clearer: Of Spanish-speaking countries, Spain is the only one that likes Castilian Spanish.
They are different, like how American English is different from British English.
But still, there's not really a "Latin American Spanish". Pronunciation differs from country to country and from region to region. Wikipedia says it better than I can: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Spanish_language_in_the_Americas
>>84321869
The mom gorilla arrived just in time to save tarzan, before Sabor got a chance to eat him. Tarzan was probably quiet until the cat wandered off thinking there was nothing else to kill. You see his parents bodies in the corner with a shotgun and bloody paw prints.
>>84321869
Tarzan's parents probably died trying to protect their baby. also I guess he was in the house when this happened, that's why he didn't die.
>>84321927
Oh then it is quite similar to Italian. I understand now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEiAXPURh1o
>>84322010
>latin spanish
>like italian
no, you do not understand.
Which one is best?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS0T8Cd4UhAI'm talking about the girls, French is qt
>>84322363
No my friend, you see. Italian also has many variations, from North to South there are various accents and ways of speaking it.
>>84322534
Yeah, that's not the same.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsK5sqlVDPc
This song is so fucking good.
>you'll never dance with your waifu
>>84322534
italian hasn't got variations. is an integrative language. regional dialects are/were totally different.
it was a big issue during 19-20 century.
>>84322421
I like Carmen Sarahí (Latin American Spanish).
I think it's interesting that they have videos of all these singers. It makes sense to record the original voice actors for animation purposes, but I don't think you'd need to record dub VAs. I wonder if shot them because they knew they were going to make this video beforehand or if they went back and shot the dubbers lip-syncing later.
>>84321898
Honestly the entire Russian dub of the movie is fantastic. Once Upon a December is probably my favorite song in that version
I'll probably get a lot of hate because this is such a loved song, but this:

I really enjoyed this entire movie in finnish, i struggle watching it with the english voice overs
Foreginers usually like the hungarian Whole New World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX3vk9FWPlE
Also I'll Make a Man out of You is great in any language I guess:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK2ZdGcL42k
Too bad hungarian dub is pretty average-bad nowadays. Let it go sounds average at best and the translation is trash.

>>84321661
Soo as a Mexican-German guy I have to say that while German is my first language and Germany has most often amazing casts, due to a long tradition of dubbing, most songs they do are sub par in comparison to others.
It mostly comes down to the translators in German most of the time insisting to write very formal and exact German translations and not being willing to let the characters sing naturally (out of songs for example EVERYONE is referred to as "Sie" eventhough most of the time its obvious "du" would be a better translation.)
For example in be prepared:
"A shining new ear is tip toeing nearer- And where do we feature?- JUST LISTEN TO TEACHER"
"The golden era sneaks nearer and nearer - AND WHATS IN IT FOR US? (also prenounced in "slang" that nobody uses with that kind of voice. If the hyenas had Ruhrpott accents I would buy it, but not with those voices). -
"I won't leave you out" (pretty much a line just added to keep a rhyme, but missing the arrogance and patronizing style of the original listen to teacher, which is underlined by the gesture).
Anyways, good songs from Latin America and Germany.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOnXlV_UIgI
Not better than the original, but pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZk9Nn-U9sM
Yeah, not /co/, but really one of the best openings Germany ever produced.

You misspelled "Latinos"
>>84314183
>latino
ree, etc.
>>84324047
im a white ass fucking american and i can safely say latinos make spanish actually seem like an appealing language. spaniards just make it sound pretentious and almost as foul as french in one breath
>>84322973
I AM norwegian, you crust!
Our cartoons are notoriously horribly dubbed!
>>84321792
>to me they sound alike
The defining difference would be castillian having 'ce', 'ci' and 'z' be the 'th' in "something" (thus why we lisp, there's no english 'z' in spanish at all), while latin will change the 'th' into an 's', or some other sound.
Then you have that weird funny way they talk, kinda like singing, like english does. Castillian is more monotone, like finnish. Festive vs serious/rude

Even though a large portion of the US army is hispanic and and they can speak Spanish, the US army doesn't count it as being bilingual because the US army's test is for Spanish like in Spain. Lots of butt hurt brown babies because the tests are very serious and they can't pass it

I like the Japanese the most. actually Japanese has a natural advantage, because how it's phonetics is structured: a consonant is always followed by a vocal - you may not always find a rhyme, but it'll always flow in rhythm. On the other hand languages like Polish or Finnish (or any nordic/slavic actually... my native lang is Russian btw) struggle because 2, 3 or even 4 consonants can stack in one word...

Not as bad as I expected it to be from reading your post.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJiOD0UBtrA
I live in Germany and I hate their dubs, because there is like one single VA agency here and every tv, cartoon, movie, show or whatever is dubbed by the same guys... even if you watch some 20yo reruns they are still there. they may be not the worst VAs but they do everything with the same expressions and intonations. Gott sei dank, they can't sing therefore are forced to hire actual singers for the songs and intros.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCC_-1gVE5Q
>>84323073
That's why the old dub version of Ariel is often preferred.
That being said I think they improved on some of the weird lyrics of Be Prepared

>>84322960
Does anyone else really like seeing how lyrics are adapted into other languages to fit meter, rhyming, and local idioms?
Except for Japanese translations, because Japan somehow thinks not rhyming is okay.
>>84325718
I do, if the adaptation has managed to be at least melodic in its own way (not asking to be the same as original ofc) - then I would check how well it also manages to convey the same meaning. if it sounds meh idc for localization value as well.

When You Believe - Hebrew
People often suggest the Arabic dubs of Aladdin, but I don't actually find them all that good. Same with Infernal, actually, but I rarely see that posted. The original Hellfire in English was just really fucking good too, to be fair. Be Prepared in Zulu, Bare Necessities in Hindi, When You Believe in Hebrew, and a lot of the Hercules songs in Greek sound very good and more fit the OP topic.
>>84325616

I wouldn't say it's better, since the original is really fucking good, but it definitely adds something the original lacks.

“Singing in German was easier than I thought. I was wrong thinking that French would be the easiest language and German the most difficult. I learned the lyrics phonetically. I do not speak Germany [sic], but I think this language always sounds very good, very elegant. Of course there were one or two problems with the pronunciation. In any case it was very interesting for me to sing in the various languages.”https://ajubilation.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/phil-collins-multilingual-work-on-tarzan/
