The Ugly Version of The Aristocats: Discover the Infamous Disney Remakes from Dingo Pictures

5- What are dingo pictures?

It is a publisher of children’s books and animated films (short, medium and long films). He has created 29 titles inspired by fairy tales or true stories adapted for children (Aladdin, Pocahontas, Balto) often in the public domain and without the slightest donation to Disney, and several Goofy movies follow the same plot as some of the successful feature films from Big. – A company with ears.

Goofy Pictures has also released several video games such as Detective MouseJungle Football and Dinosaur Adventure for Playstation 2, among others.

4- Who is behind Dingo Pictures?

Ludwig Ickert is a music composer, formerly a member of a German rock and roll band that had little success in the early 1960s. Among them, the coating is black (which will give the famous Black is black John’s). It was with his wife, Rosvita Haas, author of children’s stories, that he founded the media concept aka “Dingo Productions Haas und Ickert Partnerschaft, Filmemacher”, better known as Dingo Pictures.

Rosvita Haas died in 2015 and Ludwig Ickert in 2019 at the age of 75. Family friends inherited Dingo Pictures and today manage this legacy of around 30 animated films.

3- How it all started

In the early 90s, Dingo Pictures signed a contract with the company “LUI.TV” and presented three films: a version of the Perseus myth, Siegfried – taken from the Nibelungen – and an investigation of the Easter bunnies who go on a quest. Their most beautiful egg, which they stole. Subsequently, Dingo Pictures took sole control and released its recipe.

2- Goofy’s “paw”

The studio’s technique is simple: adapting children’s books written by Rosvita Haas into short and medium-length films. Characters are animated very poorly on often simplistic drawn settings. Many of the animals and their animations are recycled from film to film and the dubbing is completely random.

You only have to watch one of the company’s films to realize that the dubbing actors are lovers. Sometimes we hear the turning of pages of the text and the hesitation of the “actors” on directions. If the French dubbing is sometimes disastrous (see Aladdin below), the original version It’s often not better.

To make matters worse, in VF, as in VO, there is sound/image lag in most feature films, adding difficulty to what was already difficult enough to track.

Most of the stories brought to the screen by Disney will have a Goofy version of them with a slightly different title, be it: In Search of Dalmatians, Aristos, Notre Dame, Pocahontas: An Indian Legend, The Lion King or even The. Lord of the Jungle.

If the stories are sometimes fresh, the aesthetics and character names are taken from their successful animated films, whether from Disney or Dreamworks.

Some titles even add failed sketches of real actors to act as narrators, as in Sword of Camelot:

Their latest animated film, Little Hexe ArishaReleased in 2005. It has some digital effects that go beyond the loveliness of the studio’s beginnings.
