What Do Our Favorite Cartoons Look Like In Other Countries?

Every child's childhood is incomplete without cartoons. This genre is certainly the most popular entertainment for children, and everyone has a favorite cartoon. However, certain movie scenes that are interesting in this country can be offensive in others, or something that’s humorous in that country can be boring in the rest of the world. Therefore, filmmakers frequently "modify" the details or characters of their films in a variety of ways to better suit audiences and their cultures.
For example, the Russian version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has a different storyline from the Disney version. In "The Tale of the Sleeping Princess and the Seven Knights", an evil queen attempts to ruin her step-daughter who takes refuge in the forest... But instead of seven dwarfs, the Princess meets seven handsome warriors.
