>>Costs a lot Good, an industry which supports local voice actors and paid for by the big jewllywood studios. >>Drops the quality of film enormously Meh, most of the time it's the same, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's better, especially in animated films.
Joseph Parker
Because you're Finnish and your market isn't big enough for proper dubbing standards. Now take Germany, France or Spain. Each of them cater to a global market of AT LEAST 110m people. Besides: It also has to do with respecting your own culture. Unlike Norse scum, big European nations have cultural identities.

Then make movies on your own language. It sounds stupid when you voice over and the mouth moves differently compared to voice.
>Meh, most of the time it's the same, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's better, especially in animated films. Animated film doesn't count, coz it's not acted, so it doesn't matter which language they speak. But yeah animated can be better in dubbs, but animations are dubbed in every country anyway.

>Costs a lot Meh. >Drops the quality of film enormously Well, yes, sometimes nuances given by things like different accents gets completely lost. Other times a good voice actor can really enhance mediocre actors. >Doesn't raise the skills in English implying I'm an uncultured swine that only watches hollywood crap.
Cooper Young
Yeah Nordic countries, Greece, Portugal and Netherlands have totally too small market, but Hungary and Czech Republic don't.
>It also has to do with respecting your own culture. Unlike Norse scum, big European nations have cultural identities I actually think this is the main reason. They are so butthurt, that English is the world language so they want to resist its influence. I think its a decent reason, but then just make your own movies, don't steal English movies. English speaking countries are not dubbing your movies.

We do it because a vast amount (majority?) of people still don't speak English. And most good movies are in English. Unless you're looking for extremely patriotic eastern front WW2 movies, or cheap comedies. Then there's Russian.
