經(jīng)典卡通人物不為人知的八大真相

Betty Boop Was a Dog

貝蒂小姐是條狗

In 1930， when the Fleischer Brothers created the Betty Boop character， she was a French poodle， drawn with flabby ears and a black round nose.

It was only in 1932， in Any Rags， that she became completely human and her former poodle ears were transformed into earrings.

She was only slowly transformed into a fully human character.

1930年， 弗萊舍爾兄弟創(chuàng)造了“貝蒂小姐”這一卡通形象， 那時的她是一只法國貴賓犬，耷拉著耳朵，長著一個黑色的小圓鼻子。

直到1932年，在電影《一堆破布》中，貝蒂小姐的狗耳朵才被改為一對耳環(huán)。首次以人類的形象亮相。

經(jīng)過不斷地改進，貝蒂才變成了一個完全的人類角色。

Donald Duck Supported Family Planning

唐老鴨支持計劃生育

Few widely known is Donald Ducks participation in a series of educational films during the 1960s， the last of which was about the dicey subject of family planning.

The 1968 film seen above is called simply Family Planning and produced by Disney for the US Population Council.

The video is not as shocking as it seems and it offers a somewhat sensible message， but it is strange to see a beloved childrens character like Donald Duck taking part in such piece.

很少有人知道唐老鴨在20世紀60年代的一批教育短片中曾頻頻出鏡。這批短片中最后一部的主題是“計劃生育”。

這部1968年的迪士尼電影是為美國人口委員會所制，片名就叫《計劃生育》。

這部卡通其實沒有乍看上去那么奇葩，而且其中不乏有價值的信息，但為何讓孩子們最喜歡的卡通人物出現(xiàn)在如此不相稱的話題里，確實令人匪夷所思。

Mickey Was a Jerk

米奇曾是個變態(tài)

In The Galloping Gaucho， Mickey watches Minnie dance for other men in a bar， while he laughs and drinks beer. The early Mickey also takes pleasure in abusing other animals. In Plane Crazy， he uses a wiener dog as a motor for his first airplane， and forcefully tears out the feathers of a peacock to use as a tail for his second airplane. In Steamboat Willie， he tortures a cat， a goat， and a duck， using them as musical instruments.

在影片《飛奔的高喬人》中，當米奇看見米妮在酒吧為其他男人跳舞時，他竟一邊哈哈大笑一邊喝起了啤酒。不僅如此，在早期的影片中米奇還以虐待他其動物為樂。在《飛機上的瘋狂》中，他把臘腸狗做成了他第一架飛機的馬達，并強行拔光一只孔雀的羽毛以作為他第二架飛機的尾翼。在《威利號汽船》中，他虐待一只貓、一只羊還有一只鴨子，迫使他們當他的樂器。

Totoro Inspired the Name of a Worm with Legs

一種長腳的蟲子以龍貓命名

Totoro is a beloved cartoon character created in 1988 by Japanese animator Hazao Miyazaki in My Neighbor Totoro. Totoro is so popular in Asia that when new species of velvet worm was recently discovered in Vietnam， it was named Eopepiparus totoro in homage to the film. Visually， the scientists were inspired not so much by the character Totoro itself， but by the “cat bus” in the same movie， whose multiple pairs of legs resemble the velvet worms.

1988年日本漫畫家宮崎駿創(chuàng)造了“龍貓”這個深受人們喜愛的角色，這部動漫的名字就叫《我的鄰居龍貓》。龍貓深為亞洲人民所喜愛，以至于后來當一種新的毛毛蟲在越南被發(fā)現(xiàn)時，人們將其命名為"Eopepiparus totoro"，以此向這部動畫片致敬。從外形上看，科學家們的靈感應該不是來源于龍貓，而是片中的另一個角色——小貓公交車，它的腿和這種毛毛蟲的腳十分相像。

Smurfette Was a Brunette Created by Gargamel

藍妹妹是格格巫創(chuàng)造的有色女性

In the beginning， the Smurfs were all male—or， at the very least， genderless blue creatures. Then the evil sorcerer Gargamel created a female Smurf and sends her to the village to seduce and trick the Smurfs. However， they are not impressed. So Papa Smurf makes her blonde. After the transformation， they all fall in love with her and accept her as one of their own. Gentlemen prefer blondes， and apparently Smurfs do， too.

最開始，藍精靈只有男性角色（至少是沒有性別的藍色生物），后來為了誘騙這群藍精靈，邪惡的魔法師格格巫創(chuàng)造了藍妹妹并把她送到了村子里。結(jié)果，藍精靈們似乎對她并不感冒。最后藍爸爸把她變成了一位金發(fā)碧眼的美貌女郎。這下，所有的藍精靈都被她迷得神魂顛倒，并真正接受她成為他們的一份子。紳士們愛金發(fā)女郎，在藍精靈的世界里也不例外。

Goofy Had a Human Wife

高飛有個人類妻子

In most of the cartoons of the early 1950s， Goofy was called George Geef， and he had a wife and child. While the face of Goofys wife is never shown， we can assume that she is fully human and not an anthropomorphic dog-like creature because she has five fingers instead of four—as Goofy and most of Disneys animal characters do. We can actually see the back of her head in at least one episode—and she has normal human hair， as can be seen in the episode Fathers Weekend.

在20世紀50年代早期的大多數(shù)卡通片里， 高飛都被稱作喬治·吉夫，他有一位妻子和一個孩子。雖然高飛的妻子從未以正面形象出現(xiàn)過，但我們可以推測她是一個完全的人類而不是一只有人格的狗，這是因為她有五根手指而不是像高飛或迪士尼其他動物一樣只有四根。在不止一個電影片段中我們可以看到高飛妻子的背影，比如在《父親的周末》中，她明顯長著一頭人類的秀發(fā)。

Olive Oyl Was a Poor Single Mother

奧麗芙是個貧困的單身媽媽

In 1936， Olive Oyl made a cameo appearance in the film Somewhere in Dreamland， which was produced by the same studio that created the Popeye cartoons. Starting at 2：02 in the above video， she appears as a single mother with two children living in poverty during the Great Depression. Although the character is just called “mother” in the film， she uses the same traditional clothes of Olive Oyl and has the same physical appearance — thin body and large feet.

1936年，奧麗芙曾在《夢境中》以配角的形象出現(xiàn)。這部卡通片是和《大力水手》同一個工作室出品。她以一個單身媽媽的形象在影片兩分零二秒的時候出場。時值大蕭條時期，她又有兩個孩子，生活十分貧困。雖然在這部影片中她僅被稱作“媽媽”，但她和奧麗芙在外形上幾乎一模一樣——都有纖瘦的身軀和一雙大腳。

Betty Boop was Voiced by the Same Actress

貝蒂有專用的配音演員

The actress， Mae Questel， was most famous for voicing Betty Boop， all the way from the early Fleischer Studio shorts in the 1930s to her last appearance as Betty in 1988s Who Framed Roger Rabbit？

女演員梅·奎斯特爾因給貝蒂小姐配過音而名聲四起，從20世紀30年代弗萊舍爾工作室早期出品的動畫短片到1988年貝蒂的最后一部卡通片《誰陷害了兔子羅杰？》，都由她來擔任配音演員。
