The (new) spy with the velvet paws Explanation: The word "nouvel" may indicate a different release/version. It could be a kind of subtitle or even merely that they found a better translation for the later home-video version. Titles are notoriously hard to translate and capture all original nuances. Best wishes from a fellow Disney-ite Philip |

The New Spy with the Velvet Paws Explanation: The original movie version of That Darn Cat was released during the 1960s and starred Dean Jones and Haley Mills. During the 1990s, Disney remade the film, giving it the same English title as its predecessor. The marketing and packaging for the English version make it clear that it is an updated remake. However, it is often the case with movies exported and translated that the packaging changes dramatically to appeal to the new culture/market. Disney inserts the word new into all of its remake titles for foreign release for that reason. Sign me another Disneyphile! |
