9 Movie Moments Completely Different In Other Countries

2. Finding Dory’s Marine Life Institute Has A Different Narrator Depending On The Country

Finding Dory doesn't look different depending on which country you see it in, but its Marine Life Institute has an alternate celebrity narrator in certain territories.

Sigourney Weaver plays herself in English-speaking countries, lending her vocals to the conservation centre's public address system, although an animated version of her never appears on screen.

While Weaver is no doubt well known in France and Spanish-speaking countries, Pixar chose to hand meta cameos to other celebrities to scale the language barrier. In France, news anchor Claire Chazal serves as the centre's narrator, while Mexican astronaut Rodolfo Neri Vela takes on the role in other territories.

In hindsight, failing to secure the services of Blue Planet's Sir David Attenborough for the UK version feels like a huge missed opportunity.
