Disney Classics in their Native Languages (part 1) 

Find further details about the info in the video here: drive.google.com/file/d/1WvqP3vVQ6TgDVDe-xmgIjanHEmJ95lVd/view?usp=sharing

It's kinda sad that some of these movies don't have dubbings of their native languages. I think all movies (especially Disney and Dreamworks) ought to have native language dubbings available to everyone

Fun fact: the Hawaiian dub of Moana has the same voice actress for Moana as the English one (Auli'i Cravalho) because she is hawaiian.

Hercules in native Greek is SO beautiful

0:28 Zulu/Lion King 0:52 Greek/Hercules 1:11 Proto-Polynesian/Moana 3:22 Mandarin/Mulan 4:02 Inupiaq/Brother Bear 4:21 Welsh/The Sword In The Stone 4:38 Welsh/The Black Cauldron 4:50 Arabic/Aladdin 5:15 English/Robin Hood 5:39 Indonesian/Rava The Last Dragon 5:49 Thai/Rava The Last Dragon 6:11 Malay/Rava The Last Dragon 6:19 Vietnamese/Rava The Last Dragon

The Moana songs in the Polynesian languages really knocked it out of the park. Beautiful!

I'm liking the acknowledgement that Arthur ought to be speaking Welsh (or languages evolved from Common Brittonic), even though both the film and the text it was based on made him English. Good, mae'n hen bryd i ni ddwyn o nôl.

Moana being introduced in so many polynesian languages is so impressive, and that I can tell how the creators wanted to show respect to polynesians.

Something about Actual Greek Hercules really hits me, time to watch it in greek... Also: Arabian Nights sounds amazing in any language.

Finally someone putting Welsh (and not Modern English 😅) as the language of the characters from 'The Sword in the Stone'. Also, 'The Black Cauldron' 🖤

I love how Disney has different language dubs and I like how Disney princesses have different cultures

Hercules in Greek sounds amazing

Wow. Greek is a beautiful language.

I'm so glad you included Brother Bear, it's such an underrated film

The fact Arthur was in Welsh makes my Welsh heart so happy! Very few Welsh people love and respect our language! Mae mwy o pobl angen siarad hi.

I, as a Southeast Asian, felt really good that you put all of our Asean nations in this video. As the economic situations are not going so well in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, it might be hard to have their dubbed version. However, you did a really good job. I am thankful that you recognize every nations. Hope you keep up your good works. I can't wait for part 2!

Personally, it's always a pleasure for me to hear animated movies like these in their native languages. It helps so much with immersion. I don't even mind if l have to read subtitles.

Glad you recognised that King Arthur is Welsh and was not, as that film calls him, "King of England." England didn't even exist in his time and the invading ancestors of the English were among his enemies. Props for the Black Cauldron too, that also sometimes gets culturally appropriated as English.

I must say this is a very well-researched video and I'm impressed! I really admire your attempt to include as many languages that existed and even mentioned those that don't really get dubbed! But still, there're some I don't really agree upon. First, for Mulan, the original story took place in the Northern Wei, that'd make sense why Mongolian is one of the native languages because the Xianbei people of Northern Wei speak a Mongolic language. And also, the Northern Wei dynasty is like 100 years after the Han dynasty... Also, considering the language factor, Cantonese is actually closer to Old and Middle Chinese spoken at the time than Mandarin because Mandarin is pretty Manchurian-ized. For the movie timeline, I think Tang dynasty might be a better time cuz consider her makeup and dressing style, it's very much from Tang dynasty than Han. Also for Raya, I am really glad that you actually incorporate all SEA languages, but actually, to me, I think Vietnamese shouldn't be for Raya there even though the movie took place in SEA because culturally, Vietnamese culture is Sinospheric culture, which is related to China and East Asian countries, while the rest of SEA are heavily Indospheric-influenced and are related, so using Vietnamese is not really culturally appropriated here for that character of Raya. However, I'd use Vietnamese for characters like Tong or Dang Hai because their name is actually Vietnamese and they have more Vietnamese features in terms of culture too ;) But anyway, this is an amazing video and I really like it! Can't wait for part 2!

"no dubbing released" is my favorite language.

I love how you keep the ones without released dubs, it's almost like a protest and it shows us just how many people don't have access to disney movies in their native languages.

The Mulan film was also dubbed in Cantonese Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese. I guess you couldn't find the audios for those two dubs. Outside of that detail, I like that you included the part of the No dubbing released. It is a pity that Disney does not have its content available in some languages. Especially by the natives of these. Note: I made the mistake of not specifying that the Taiwanese Chinese I referred to is the variant of Madarin spoken on the Island of Taiwan. Well, it's Taiwan, there are other Chinese dialects/languages ​​like Hokkie and/or Hakka. Sorry if that led to arguments in the comments that stemmed from what I originally wrote.

Fun fact: Auliʻi Cravalho (the voice of Moana) reprised her role as Moana in the Hawaiian dub Edit 1: I also Googled Brother Bear and the specific location of the movie is Alaska, but Northern North America is accurate though it can sound confusing. Edit 2: I feel like Raya's native language should be Malay, Boun, Noi (because Noi means 'little' in Thai) and Tong's (because Tong means 'gold' in Thai) native language is Thai and Namaari and other characters' native language is Indonesian. Because the movie feels more Thai, Malay and Indonesian than any other Southeast Asian culture since I grew up in Thailand and had visited Malaysia and Indonesia. I somehow find it nostalgic. In fact, Tuk Tuk is one of the modes of transportation in Thailand aside from motorcycles, taxis, BTS, ARL, BRT, bus, MRT and commuter. Also the Tom Yum made in the movie made me feel hungry.

Admittedly, I, a Welsh native, did try watching The Black Cauldron but for some reason I just didn't like it. But I do adore that you've mentioned it here! I'm a very proud Welsh speaker myself! Cymru am byth! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

So cool and I love that Moana was translated into so many modern Polynesian languages

Native Language Flags Lion King: 🇿🇦 (South Africa) Hercules: 🇬🇷 (Greece) Moana: 🇵🇫 (Polynesia) Mulan: 🇨🇳 (China) Brother Bear: 🇨🇦 (Canada) The Sword In The Stone: 🇬🇧 (United Kingdom) The Black Cauldron: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (Wales) Aladdin: 🇮🇶 (Iraq) Robin Hood: 🇬🇧 (United Kingdom) Raya and the Lost Dragon: 🇮🇩 (Indonesia)

Thank you for acknowledging that Arthur & Taran's native language is Welsh!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm fairly certain that the Lion king takes place somewhere in the general area of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. So Zulu doesn't really feel like the appropriate option, something along the lines of Swahili would be more realistic.

Thank you for including SEA as languages use for Raya. Especially for Indonesia and Malaysia since we both have same meaning for word Raya.

I really admire how much thought and research you put into choosing what you think should be the native versions for these characters :). Some of these are also incredibly unspecific and vague. I am still not sure what Dinsey had in mind when they created their version of Mulan. And I am not even sure if Disney had anything *specific* in mind when they created Raya. Also, the number of native dubs Moana has still surprises me xD.

me seeing the welsh flag and realising people do really know we exist

As someone who’s seen all these movies in full English, I just love that they sound so natural and just as beautiful in their native languages (when they can) and that it doesn’t sound off to me because it just-… fits? You know. Honestly I need to see if I can watch the OG Cinderella dubbed in French, or Beauty and The Beast. I’ll bet those would sound absolutely amazing. Honestly if there was a full Welsh dub of Sword In The Stone or Black Cauldron, I would watch the hell out of that. Honestly I’d watch the heck out of any of these movies in its native language if there were English subs!

Bro...The songs actually match the language so well...Like if Disney did that on purpose...respect...

*TRANSLATIONS NEEDED!* If you're interested in translating the description and subtitles of this video in your language, let me know!

Not only are you carrying out such a brilliant research, but your editing skills even are showing their true colours here! I'm impressed, I'm impressed. Can't wait for the other parts ❤

6:07 Raya : *sobs in Burmese

3:18 - 3:42 I got goosebumps from that, what an amazing voice.

4:56 Classic Arabic copy is from قناة ج dubbing center. But, this one is modern Egyptian.

I was hoping for a special new dubbing in a language related to the place where Raya and The Last Dragon is set (like Disney did for Moana and Frozen 2), although the movie's setting is not exactly clear and is a mix of Asian cultural elements. Amazing and creative video anyway!

@5:11 the Egyptian dialect of arabic is the best ❤❤

0:44 I was expecting him to throw simba off a cliff

01:13 So beautiful. I felt like traveling and getting to know these places and peoples.

It must have taken a lot of time to find the source, kudos to you, honestly I was scared that Disney would block this video and would make you think again about avoiding copyright because they are getting scarier every day, I'm glad they didn't, but it seems Disney loves you XD I really like the idea like this, it takes time but it's totally worth it..... I'll have to wait until January to see it, I really *love* the results and love reading your files on the drive. Beautiful 💕

This video is beautiful but Moana's part touched my heart. I LOVED IT. It definitely sounds WAY better in polynesian languages. So impressive.

Disney needs to release this as a collection, cuz I would definitely buy it. I'd love to watch all of the movies in their native tongues just to see how it sounds and feel like I'm more present in the stories.

The RobinHood one sounds so interesting to me- like the language is so so different from what I and everyone else have ever heard! what an ancient and beautiful language it should be spoken worldwide!

I simply loved this video, a mix of the things I like most in the world. Disney films (I have a collection) Historical Eras (I'm making a music playlist and I'm making theories about all eras) Countries (I've always liked it and I'm making a music playlist) Dubbing (I took the course) Wow, it helps a lot with my research :)

I really liked brother bear, and it felt very homely to me

As a Greek, I can understand everything from Heracles.

I love the GREEK VERSION soooo much ❤️❤️❤️

5:05 Egyptian ❤️✨

If you have ever watched a video of Disney characters singing in their native language you will agree with me that it just sounds perfect they all fit so well in their true native languages

I love how so many of these are individual languages, and Moana is an entire language group. And then there's just all of Southeast Asia...

I love how more animation studios are creating such beautiful movies (like Raya etc.) that are accurately portraying the culture! And the beautiful developments in animation just makes them all more lovely

And this is where I'd put my Welsh translation-- *IF I HAD ONE!!*

Love this. Also, this made me realize that since Disney is putting in an effort to better represent different cultures, it would *possibily* be a good idea to make the animation of the lip-syncing to suit the 'original intended' language, instead of english. You know.... speaking animations in greek for Hercules (greek culture), proto-indonesian for Moana, chinese for Mulan, etc etc

We need some Welsh Disney dubs ASAP, it’s a beautiful language

Nice work! I loved the idea of having Sword in the Stone in Welsh (and The Black Cauldron) for the equivalent of the era's Brythonnic language. Loved the focus on Polynesian languages, Swahili, Arabic and Southeast Asian and Chinese languages. In Robin Hood English is a good choice though Old English would be ideal... I would love to see someone try to do a translation of Robin Hood's songs into Old English. For this time period the common folk would most likely use Old English. Nobility and royalty would speak Norman French. Robin Hood would have grown up with French but would deliberately also speak Old English to relate to the common Anglo Saxon English people.

I really love my language(Arabic)❤️❤️

Okay can we just take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Moana sounds singing in Hawaiian

this video really moved me. the richness of cultures all around the world is amazing.

I'm very impress by the greek version of hercules and very melodic for arabian's night

3:45 mongolian language is so beautiful

In Arabic version of Aladdin it had been performed by Egyption voice actors, even though its origin from the city of Baghdad.

the lion king takes place somewhere near kenya, plus “hakuna matata” is a phrase in swahili, so itd make more sense for them to be speaking swahili. but anyways, great vid! seeing all their intended languages is very interesting!

All the languages are truely beautiful, I loved them all ❤️

I think its amazing how alike the english and native languages sound. Especially Moana. At first glance, you would just think that its the same voice actor singing in a different language.

Wow, the disney movies sound a lot more nicer in their native language indeed. Also great video

Mulan takes place in the Northern Wei dynasty, in the year 497CE Xiran Jay Zhao proves the year in their video about Mulan II!

The Huns is a hard one since: The language they spoke is relatively archaic and frankly dead as it was spoken by the hordes. Secondly, it would be close the Mongolian language, yet had equal parts of Tunic and Yanisiean. It was referred to as Hunnish because they were nomadic.

2:00 El maorí es mi favorito saludos 🇳🇿

I wish Disney did Welsh dubbings! Its such a great language! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Man, I loved Brother Bear when I was little and seeing that short clip unlocked so many childhood memories I forgot I even had

Wow, well done! I really enjoyed watching this. Can't wait for the part 2! :D

If we're going hardcore here, the English of 1192 would have sounded very different, such as many letters we now treat as silent being used back then, and then there's there's the contextual usage of words in general. As someone who can enjoy singing without understanding the words, I really enjoyed the Zulu, Greek, and Maori. It would have been a treat to hear Genie sing in Arabic. Also, was I the only one expecting baboon screeching or lion roaring at the beginning?

They sound so much better/natural in their original languages. Pretty cool.

How did Welsh get 2 entries? Coolest thing ever! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

FINALLY!!!! THANKS TO ADD OUR SEVERAL POLYNESIAN LANGUAGES!!! (From what I know, Moana is mainly Tahitian - Disney came on Tahiti but only a few of the eldest on the island accepted to share the legend before it became a Disney movie because of past with colonization - sorry if it's the wrong word, I'm not sure) It's really warmth to finally feel included in the world like we finally exist, still there are more Polynesians Island people don't know about. Tahiti, Marquises, Tuamotu, Gambier, Huahine, Moorea, Bora Bora and even more! I'm not sure but if I'm not wrong, there are 14 polynesian languages.

1:12 sends chills down my spine, it almost makes me feel nostalgic, but in an eerie way... I love it so much!

Correction: Mulan is based on a poem from Northern Wei dynasty (386-534 AD). In the movie there is a Chinese character 魏 Wei presented on the map of China.

作为一个中国人，我想讲一下我的看法：迪士尼的花木兰是有大幅改编的，它想表达的价值观和原版的《木兰辞》有很大出入，比如说追求个人的价值等等，而原版刚是强调花木兰的孝、忠、不贪图功名等等，当然这可能是更符合西方人的价值观吧😄。还是很感谢有《花木兰》这样的优质作品，让世界更了解中国🇨🇳。中国欢迎你们来旅游哦😘（别问我为什么这么懂，就是因为这篇古代中文名作我们要背，默写，理解，考试做题😂🤣）

Thanks a lot for making this video with all the reasons and sources. I really appreciate it!

That was a very well researched video, and I love the simplicity of your editing! ❤️

They just feel so much better when they are in their native language 👀

This is nice! Waiting for part 2!

I’m liking that Welsh representation there, awesome!

This is an amazing video and I love it!! I just think that for Mulan, I think Cantonese can be added! Since it’s somehow historically proven that Cantonese’s tone and accent is more likely to sound like ancient Chinese, so I think Cantonese can be added if mandarin is added too!

Great compilation All the languages sound so beautiful 🤩

4:50 bro that’s Arabic but in the Egyptian accent not the Iraqi one🥲

I love your dedication!

this is a really good idea, it's such a pity that there is no Welsh language dialogue as that was the language of Arthur, not English. Arthur spoke Brythonic (ancient Welsh) - 'arth' = bear in Welsh.

You included The Black Cauldron! THANK YOU!

Idk why but I got chills and tears all throughout the video.

Quel travail de qualité BRAVO !! What an amazing work, it's so great !

I would love to see a Japanese Disney princess. Who agrees with me?

0:37 was really hoping it was going to say “animal sounds” instead of human languages

Hearing Arabian Nights in it's original language just highlights how it's a very westernized idea of eastern music. Great video!

Bet this one's gonna be beautiful.

4:39 there should be a Welsh dub of black Coldren

omg that outro was so beautiful
