                       The oddest trailer I've ever seen
                                        
Of course there were trailers [1], and I saw the oddest trailer I've ever
seen. It was for an animated [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie (because Bunny and
I were waiting to watch an animated [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie) so nothing
odd there. But it was in Spanish.

I've never seen a trailer for a foreign [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie that
wasn't in English.

But it gets odder.

It was subtitled!

Okay, yes, it makes sense for a [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie in a foreign
language to be subtitled. But this wasn't a [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie—this
was the trailer for a [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie. And not just for a
[DELETED-film-DELETED] movie, but an animated [DELETED-film-DELETED] movie!

Granted, I've seen subtitled animated [DELETED-films-DELETED] movies before
but they weren't exactly aimed at mainstream American audiences but direct
imports, usually from Japan [2], but I suppose some could exist from
elsewhere in the world.

Odder still, the voice over, you know, the typical trailer voice over that
typically begins “In a world about a land with time, [3]” that type of voice
over, was in English!

So Bunny and I saw a trailer for a sub-titled Spanish animated [DELETED-film-
DELETED] movie with an English voice over.

About chickens and eggs [4].

I got nothing.
