Talk:Gekijōban Dōbutsu no Mori

message: I know this page has only just been created, but I'd like to see some kind of external reference to prove the anime exists, seeing as my Google search on "animal crossing anime" returned nothing on the subject. Hammer Raccoon 23:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of references 

message: The correct Japanese title of this movie should be used rather than "Animal Crossing", because so far it's only coming out in Japan, right? If it's confirmed to be coming out in English as "Animal Crossing", then we could call it that. --ComputerBox 16:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct Japanese title... 

message: is the one which was used previously. I went to the japanese site and translated it properly. the japanese title is Gekijouban Doubutsu no Mori which literally means Animal Forest - the movie version.

message: I don't care what kind of controversy is going on with anything.  You don't have an article cite the discussion page.  The article didn't even cite the discussion page, it just said, "see discussion" in paranthesis.
I don't know if you think you are writing for your fellow editors, but just in case there was some misconception--you are writing for everyone.  This is supposed to be an encyclopedia article.  Encyclopedia articles don't tell you to go somewhere to listen to people argue.  If you have a source, if the people on this page can agree, then you put it in the article.
You use this page to explain something to your fellow editors, you use the edit summaries, you use all of these great editings tools, but you never put something in the actual article.  Ever.  TStein 15:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Dōbutsu no Mori (film) → Animal Forest (film) — This has a commonly used English name (one that's been provided by Nintendo), and per WP:ENGLISH transliterations should only be used if a commonly used English name is lacking. Further, this article follows Animal Forest which already decided to use a verified translation instead of transliteration. Miss Mondegreen | Talk   08:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

====Survey - in support of the move====
# Support - I obviously (!) support the move I proposed.  The number of redirects to the article shows that this is the improper name for this--people don't search for the transliteration.  I know the move to this page was done on the grounds that no movie called "Animal Crossing" or "Animal Forest" was released, but that's not how entries are supposed to be titled (per WP:ENGLISH) on English Wikipedia.  There has also been a bizarre effort to avoid using English in this article and it hurts the article.  You should never avoid using the language that you're attempting to communicate to someone in, and that's what's happened here.  I shouldn't have to scroll over a link to see what it goes to to know what you mean.  Miss Mondegreen | Talk   08:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey everyone, I'm going to start everyone off with a little longer explanation of why I put this move up.
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), says that:
If there is no commonly used English name, use an accepted transliteration of the name in the original language. 
The commonly used English name for the Japanese games is "Animal Forest", a translation provided by Nintendo which Nintendo had intended to use for the English language versions of the game.  Ultimately the English language version of the game was released as "Animal Crossing" and now the Japanese versions are know as "Animal Forest" and the English version are known as "Animal Crossing."
The (Animal Forest) article deals with this well in the first line, and this article should do the same:
"Dōbutsu no Mori, known under the translated title Animal Forest [1], is a..."
The entire article, not just the name doesn't seems to ignore that this is on English Wikipedia and ignores all of the conventions that go with that.
The article refers to the series as the Dōbutsu no Mori video games, which is bad.  The article makes no mention of the English translation or of the English series of games (Animal Crossing, not Dōbutsu no Mori), and the series as a whole is generally referred to (in English) and is referred to on Wikipedia as the Animal Crossing games (this including both the Forest and the Crossing games, i.e. the Japanese and the English versions).  'This not only ignores common sense and WP:ENGLISH protocols, but it ignores all of the other articles for Animal Crossing.
I think that it's important that the Japanese games and movies be distinguished, but this is going about this the wrong way.  It not only goes against wiki guidelines, but it really hurts the article.  Miss Mondegreen | Talk   08:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Uh... 

message: The names of the characters are presented a bit oddly, in that some are the English-game versions, while some are left as they are in the Japanese (e.g., Sally).  There should be consistency here, or maybe two columns, for English names and Japanese names.  All the Japanese character names are on the movie's official site, and there are plenty of English sites about the game.  It's just a matter of how you want to do it...

message: In the article
"On September 12, 2010, Pagons, Inc. announced that the film will be released in Europe in late September or early October.[1]"
Cite Note one leads to http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=28316 Where it is confirmed that there is no plans for a North American version. However this has nothing to do with what the sentence is talking about. Additionally I could not find any information on Pagons Inc., Also It states "Released Late Sep, Early Oct," Do they mean 2011? If not, then this is false information.

message: The full title of this film is "劇場版 どうぶつの森" (Gekijōban Dōbutsu no Mori), not just Dōbutsu no Mori. This full title is noted on this page in the Nihongo template, but not in the page title or anywhere else. Looking at this page's move history, it appears to have begun as "Animal Crossing (movie)" tentatively when the film was first announced, then later moved to "Animal Forest" (the Japanese series name translated) and "Dōbutsu no Mori" (the Japanese series name romanized) to reflect it not being released in English, but it was never moved to its final, full title. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 06:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
