Is it just me or is anyone else horrified that the logo for the Disney film Ratatouille (going past on every other London bus at the moment) also has to contain the phonetic spelling, presumably because people wouldn't know how to prounounce it.

FFS. What has the world come to?

Or am I just on the cusp of becoming a grumpy old git and should just accept my fate?

I recon the posters were made en mass for the yank market and they used the same ones here. Still gets on my 3p bits though

Surely the name of the film is too high brow for the Americans anyway.

Maybe the subtitle for the trans-Atlantic is just "Rat Film" or something like that so that they can understand it a bit better.

What we need is another cute Disney movie where the main character is voiced with some smart talking 'stand up guy' Italian American New York accent.

A bit like ITV need another Police drama where the protagonist has some quirky play on words name like Bill Old

Welcome, welcome, welcome. Surrender to the force...

I've got the DVD of Tim Burton's one good film: "Beetlejuice", but all through the movie you'll see it spelled "Betelgeuse", presumably because Americans were too confused.

I thought that from the American perspective, it would be called "Beedlejooz" but there you go.
