Dubbing of the Simpsons Movie

Guan brings up an interesting point about The Simpsons Movie. Just like in Denmark, it’s distributed here both as original and a dubbed Finnish version. It’s been common to dub films here that are clearly targeted at small children. However, dubbing Simpsons is interesting for two reasons:

  1. Just like in Denmark, Simpsons the series has never been dubbed in the Finnish TV. People, even the children, are used to the certain American voices the characters have.
  2. From what I’ve heard (I’ve yet to see the film) Simpsons the Movie is not really a children’s movie at all, just like the series has never been aimed at children that can’t yet read.
