Isn’t this amazing?

The Lion King 1 and 2 and Beauty and the Beast was translated a few years ago already, and the German translation was such indebtedness to those who utter the language. Many people are even comparing the English versions of Walt Disney movies to other translations, and they get to learn language gradually! They’re even astonished as to how the two translations become parallel in a way.
