Maxxie03 Tumblr.: Translation trailer ‘Mr. Peabody and Sherman’
Black man: Mr. Peabody, you're nobel prize winner in physics
FROM THE CREATORS OF: HTTYD, MADAGASCAR, SHREK
Black man: Famous explorer
FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE LION KING
Black man: And Olympic champion in broad jumping. Are you ready for everything that needs to be done to raise a human…
I replayed the ad for a bit [ich kann nicht verspreche Deutche...] but I’m pretty sure the Princess’ name is Hatshepsut.
You know, famous historical cross-dresser. Who was VERY BROWN INDEED (cough).
Still... it’s miles better than Cleopatra, I guess 9_9
Mind you, given the limited number of famous Egyptian queens [Thanks, Manwashing!] they had to pick one out of Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Hatshepsut. So why pick the brownest of the three [If you check, Nefertiti was white-passing] for a BLONDE EUROPEAN-DESCENDED child to pass as?
I hope this is just translation errata or my deafness getting involved but... can we please stop trying to rewrite the best-known African civilization as No They Were Really White All Along? Or is that just too hard?
I am now praying that this is the ONLY historical inaccuracy in a film about freaking time travel.
