Audiovisual retranslations for children: the new live action versions of Disney classics
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Disney company has recently experienced a significant artistic and economic revival. Apart from the obvious growth as a business (the company has its own audio-visual streaming platform and has purchased Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilm), they have now released, as proof of this revival, the new live action and big budget versions of the famous Disney classics. In this paper, we intend, on the one hand, to frame these new versions within the concept of audio-visual retranslation for children. This concept will be revisited and studied extensively from a semiotic perspective, foregoing the mere (inter)linguistic level. On the other hand, we shall analyse the reasons that have led Disney to launch these new versions on the market, as well as the (re)translation methods that could be established after examining some of these new (and old) films for children and adults.
