Find Nemo

[pne]

Just got back from watching Find Nemo (in German) with Jeva, the daughter of friends of ours.

I laughed; I cried; I was scared; I was entertained. What more can you want?

So yeah, I rather liked it, on the whole. One thing I liked in particular was the pseudo-Hawaiian name of "Mount Wannahockaloogie", which was undoubtedly lost on most of the German audience; I thought it extremely funny.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

It's "Findet Nemo" in German ("Find Nemo!", a command addressed to multiple people), and I back-translated wrongly since the German name is obviously not a literal translation of the English title. But it's better than a literal translation ("Nemo finden" or something like that) would be. "Auf der Suche nach Nemo" might be better as a "meaning translation" -- "On the search for Nemo" or something like that.

"Find Nemo!" is probably a more sensible title, as it's a complete sentence if nothing else. You know what these crazy American film producer types are like, though!;)
