General
Like I said. You people are tough.
For the record:
1.) Phil Silvers
2.) Michigan J Frog
3.) Mighty Mouse, for snorting "coke".
Sooo the classic stuff seems to be easy. Let's try something newer...
Subject - "COCO"
1.) Objections have been raised to the length of "Olaf's Frozen Adventure", which was the lead-in for the movie "COCO", but it's not the first time Disney has used an extra-long cartoon as a lead-in for a feature-length movie. The first one occurred 27 years prior to "COCO". Can you name the lead-in cartoon and the feature movie that followed it?
2.) The Chinese usually ban movies that focus on death, as it is considered monumentally unlucky. However, they made an exception for "COCO". What caused them to change their minds?
3.) When Disney released "COCO" in Brazil, the name was changed to "Viva!". Why?

They must have a real problem with Cocoa Puffs down in Brazil.
The Chinese censorship board was ready to ban it but when they saw the movie, many of them were moved to tears by the story’s warmth and its happy ending, where the young protagonist saves the day by ensuring that his ancestors are properly remembered and honored. So made the exception for the film.
Because Coco means Poop in Brazilian Portuguese.
2. When the Chinese censors watched the movie, they were moved by how the lead characters ancestors were properly remembered and honored, as well as how the movie had a happy ending and had warmth.
3. In Brazil, the title name was changed to "Viva", for the original title "Coco" could easily be mistaken by the Portuguese word "cocô", which translates to a curse word.
I think our cinemas need the money from the ads played before the feature too much to put up with foreplays, unless maybe the distributor gives a discount.
which must have been the case with a Jackie Chan movie, "Who Am I!", which was played completely without advertising clips before it. took me three tries to find out... XD
That's all I know.
