For English speakers who don’t get it: Imagine that Fox decided to replace the original Simpsons voice actors that you grew up with with British ones who sound nothing like them, have thick British accents and make local references to things only the British know about in the show.
That’s essentially what Fox trying to replace the Quebec voice actors with the French ones were trying to do.
So like every show on TV. We don’t have localized versions of any show, they all reference American or British things.
In one episode, a sketch involving upstate New York — including the cities of Utica and Albany — is replaced in the Québécois version with the Lac-Saint-Jean region and the towns of Jonquière and Alma.
A bit of a tangent, but it would have been nice if Quebec media were more accessible in other provinces. It would have been helpful in school both for vocabulary and pronunciation, and just a way to stay somewhat fluent in French, especially after graduating. It would also promote the Quebec dialect more over Parisian French.
Absolutely, unfortunatly multiple gov cut in art and culture so here we are.
Go to nfb.ca, they have some really great french movies
Telequebec.tv have great things but are more kids focus
Radio-Canada.ca/ohdio have some great podcast
