A slightly off-topic, perhaps, but I am wondering why "The Incredibles"
became "Mr. Incredible" in the Japanese version? I am interested in this
from the perspective of translations and versioning. I have not seen the
movie myself yet, but understand that it is not solely focused on one male
hero? In that case, did the Japanese distributers want to change the first
impression of the movie-goers? Or would the ortographic mix of roman letters
and Japanese characters spoil the commercials somehow?
Best,
