How do comics come to life on the big screen? | Language use in comic book adaptations

Christina and Dominic explore the animated (and linguistic!) world of comics on screen. From Tintin to Spider-Man, they discuss how speech bubbles, onomatopoeia, and talking animals survive (or don’t) in their cinematic transformations.

- Why do comic book characters sound different in movies?

- Why did Spielberg choose British accents for a Belgian story?

- How are foreign languages represented in animated environments?

From speech bubbles to screenplays, motion capture to dubbing, this episode peels back the layers of adaptations, one linguistic choice at a time. Come for the comics, stay for the motion pictures.
