to understand, you have to kw that Arabian Nights i called the 1001 nights, so the french title of a Bug's LIfe refers to it: 1001 pattes (legs)
and we have a bug that is called 1000pattes in France:
hummm hungry?

Some translations of films here in the Netherlands:
Basil, The Great Mouse Detective - De Speurneuzen ("The detectives")
The Black Cauldron - Taran en de toverketel ("Taran and the Magical Cauldron")
The Emperors new groove - Keizer Kuzco ("Emperor Kuzco")
The Fox and the Hound - Frank en Frey ("Frank and Frey")
Fun and Fancy Free - Vrij en vrolijk ("Free and merry")
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - Het grote verhaal van Winnie de Poeh ("The big story of Winnie the Pooh")
The Rescuers down under - De reddertjes in Kangaroeland ("The Rescuers in Kangaroo land")
The Sword in the Stone - Merlijn de tovenaar ("Merlin the sourcerer")
Treasure planet - Piratenplaneet: De Schat Van Kapitein Flint ("Pirate planet: the treasure of captain Flint ")
The Hunchback of Notre Dame - De klokkenluider van de Notre Dame ("The bell-ringer of the Notre Dame")
Most Dutch translations tend to stick to the original English title quite well. No real radical changes here.

Arielle, die Meerjungfrau 2: Sehnsucht nach dem Meer (Ariel, the Young Mermaid 2: Longing after the Sea). I like that translation, because it speaks more of her desire to "return". Mind you, the obvious use of the name "Ariel" for the first film made the title of the sequel misleading.
The Sword in the Stone becomes Die Hexe und der Zauberer (The Witch and the Magician), shifting the dynamic slightly...

Keep this up - I'm interested in other translations/meanings...
Hi Loomis, cool that you speak a little German, so: Hallo Loomis, und wie geht´s? Grüße aus Deutschland!
I´ve found some more german disney film titles:
Sleeping Beauty = Dornröschen ("thorn rose")
Lady and the Tramp = Susi und Strolch (Susie and Tramp, but the word Strolch sounds very funny in Germany, cause you don´t use that very often anymore, for Tramp you´d say "Streuner, Tramper, ...", "Strolch" you say to someone who is trashy and does bad things like stealing.
101 Dalmatians = Pongo und Perdita (the names)
Hunchback of Notre Dame = Glöckner von Notre Dame (the bellringer of Notre Dame)
Song of the South = YES, THAT ONE WAS AVAILABLE ON VHS and was titled: "Onkel Remus´ Wunderland" (Uncle Remus´ Wonderland).
But my favorite title is:
Swiss Family Robinson = Dschungel der 1000 Gefahren (Jungle of 1000 dangers) - sounds like a great adventure film!

They use that name in The Netherlands too, only here it is called 'Doornroosje'. Oddly enough that film is based on a very well known fairy tale of which the Dutch name is 'De schone slaapster', which translates as 'The beautifull sleeper'. Makes you wonder why they didn't choose that name because it is so much more populair. The foreign branches of Disney do make some strange decisions now and then when re-naming their films.Walt Forever wrote: I´ve found some more german disney film titles:
