A movie is like McDonald’s: wherever in the world you might go, you’ll get the exact same cinematographic Big Mac. Right? Wrong! A fun fact is that some of your favorite animated movies sometimes get small localized changes made to certain scenes so that they fit into a particular country’s cultural context much better.

Bored Panda has collected some of the most intriguing changes to Disney and Pixar animations in other countries that you might not have known about for you to enjoy. Remember to upvote your fave changes by smacking that upvote button. And if you’ve got any hidden details, Easter eggs, and localized changes that you know about that we haven’t shown, share them with the rest of our dear Pandas in the comment section!

Yucky broccoli being changed to green peppers in the Japanese version of ‘Inside Out’ is just the tip of the cinematographic iceberg. (According to Pixar artist David Lally, Japan likes broccoli but hates green peppers; meanwhile, I like both and I like to think of myself as a picky audience member.)
