La Marcha De Los Pinguinos

For those of you that don't get the translation (which I highly doubt) the title is The March of the Penguins. Since there's not much to do around here I figured I would check out the movie theaters near by. The March of the Penguins isn't exactly my first choice but I had no idea what movies were playing nor the times of them so I struck out blindly and this was my only choice. Now I know that the movie has won awards and is supposed to be great but a lot of this got lost in translation since the film was in Spanish. To me it looked like someone discovered a new trafficking market for ecstasy as the whole film was pretty much a bunch of penguins in cuddle puddles who get it on all the time. Apparently that's pretty much the gist of the film as I later looked up the description of the movie online.
Overall the movie was okay but it got me thinking about the TV shows I've been watching with the things that are lost in translation and other things I've noticed. The Simpsons is big down here and is completely dubbed in Spanish but everything seems to fall flat for me. I never realized how the voices of the characters alone can make or break a show. The voices for the Simpsons are horrible thus not seeming as funny.
They have the boomerang channel down here but again everything is dubbed in Spanish. Since it's in Spanish I've realized that I started looking at the details of the cartoon more. For instance Popeye has been on a lot and I've come to the conclusion that he's a manwhore. Why you ask? He has four children out of wedlock as he seems to be the only one to claim them in the show. Even weirder are their names: Pipeye, Peepeye, Poopeye and Pupeye. Another example can be found within the Flinstones. First off apparently it's considered funny to print fake bills and launder them since that's what Barney was running out of his home. Secondly, since they are in the stone age all of their clothes have nice, jagged seams.... the not quite finished look. But they wear hats that are nice and tailored, no jagged seams there. These aren't the only instances just the ones that come to mind. What's up with all of this?
