Are you here: Motherhood

My Little Pony is a children's cartoon produced by the animation studio Hasbro, part of the franchise of the same name, owned by the same company. The first episode of the first season of the show aired on October 10, 2010.

In the animated series, whose title was officially translated into Russian as "Friendship is a miracle", the action takes place in the fictional country of Equestria. Basically, Equestria is inhabited by intelligent ponies, as well as other fantastic creatures (griffins and dragons) and ordinary animals (rabbits, dogs, cats, and others).

The world of Equestria is full of magic, and almost no one in the country of ponies can do without it. For example, it is with the help of magic that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna control the time of day, raising the Sun or Moon at the right time.

All characters" May Little Ponies ”in total, there are more than a hundred, but most of them are secondary and they appear in the cartoon only from time to time. Basically, the plot is built around 6 main characters.

Twilight Sparkle (Twilight Sparkle)

We can say that it was with this pony that the action of the entire animated series began.

Twilight Sparkle (in the official Russian adaptation - Twilight Sparkle) is a lilac-colored unicorn pony with purple eyes. Twilight's tail and mane are made up of three colors: navy blue, purple, and hot pink. Her cutie mark is a pink six-pointed star surrounded by five smaller white stars.

At the very beginning of the series, Twilight Sparkle is shown to the viewer as a pony who loves to learn and that's it. free time spends for books, preferring them to communication and walks with friends. However, everything changes when Princess Celestia asks Twilight to travel to Ponyville to supervise preparations for the festival.

Rarity (Rarity)

Of all the My Little Pony characters, Rarity can be called the most fashionable and elegant. Like Twilight Sparkle, she is a unicorn, but that's where the similarities between them end.

Rarity is a white pony whose mane and tail are dark purple and whose eyes are bright blue. From English, her name literally translates as "rarity", which fully characterizes this pony: Rarity loves everything unusual, knowing a lot about true beauty. Her cutie mark is 3 blue crystals.

Fluttershy

Pony Fluttershy is a light yellow pegasus. Her mane and tail are soft pink, and her eyes are turquoise. This pony's cutie mark is 3 pink butterflies.

Fluttershy was the most shy and shy of all the My Little Pony characters before meeting Twilight Sparkle and the others. In the first episode of the animated series, she spoke in a quiet unintelligible voice and could not even pronounce her name, but after meeting new friends, she became more confident in herself.

Pony Fluttershy loves animals and strives to constantly take care of them. She is able to communicate with them and understand, and also has an innate talent - a special look allows ponies to control animals.

In her forest house, Fluttershy sheltered a large number of different representatives of the fauna, but her favorite pet is a white rabbit named Angel.

Rainbow Dash (Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash)

One of the fastest among all the My Little Pony characters is Rainbow Dash. She is a light blue pegasus with lilac eyes, and her mane and tail are colored in the colors of the rainbow. The pony's cutie mark is also related to this - a rainbow-colored lightning bolt from a white cloud.

Rainbow Dash is the complete opposite of Fluttershy: bold, self-confident and daring. Sometimes Rainbow can be a little rude, which causes her to have conflicts with friends, but in reality she is very kind and always ready to help.

Rainbow Dash's main duty is to monitor the weather in Ponyville, clearing the sky of clouds. When meeting Twilight Sparkle for the first time, Rainbow Dash says that she can disperse all the clouds in 10 seconds, which is the fastest result among all the ponies in the city.

Pinkie Pie

In addition to pegasi and unicorns, Equestria is also inhabited by ordinary ponies, which are most similar to real horses. One of them is Pinkie Pie (Pinkamina Diana Pie). This pony is a pale pink with a mane and tail of a brighter shade. Her eyes are light blue and her cutie mark is 3 balloons.

Most of all, this pony loves sweets and parties. She works at a local bakery where she helps Mr. and Mrs. Cake bake cupcakes and cakes. Cooking is her main talent. Pinky also loves music and knows how to play many musical instruments.

Pinkie Pie is very cheerful and cheerful, which sometimes goes to the extreme. There is practically nothing that could make her sad, but sometimes, due to increased emotionality, her joy can abruptly change to sadness, bordering on depression.

Apple Jack

Applejack is an orange green-eyed pony with a wheat-colored mane and tail. Her distinguishing mark is 3 red apples.

Applejack from My Little Pony lives and works on the Sweet Apple family farm, where, in addition to her, Applejack's brother Big McIntosh, Apple Bloom's younger sister, and Granny Smith also work.

Applejack is a reliable and hardworking pony, but she can be overly stubborn at times. In almost every episode of the animated series, Epjack demonstrates her honesty and straightforwardness - qualities for which all her friends appreciate her.

Among the children's premieres of autumn.

If your voice is there too, or if your child has already put you in front of the need to go to the movies, we advise you to familiarize yourself with a short list of facts useful for watching this cartoon. True, according to the first reviews, the plot of the cartoon does not depend on the series "Friendship is a miracle", and you do not need to watch the latter for a normal understanding of what is happening. But since this is still not an original cartoon, but a movie franchise with a rich history, the following will come in handy. Briefly, to the point and with 100% effect on the part of the child - “mom, do you know who it is ?!”.

They are so different, but still together

The main characters are six friendly young ponies, each unique, amazing and diverse in its own way. As you may have already noticed, everyone here is called “ponies”, but inside these magical horses are divided into ponies, unicorns, pegasi and alicorns. Yes, these are those with a horn and wings at the same time. Alicorns are the recognized elite and always-forever princesses. No, no one has seen the alicorn boys yet.

Now you have to sprinkle names (and even in two translations!), But you don’t need to memorize them - just take these characters for granted. By the way, your daughter probably has her own favorite. And this is a great way to learn a little more about the inner world of a child.

Also, ponies have special insignia - that is, pictures on the croup - they get in the process of growing up, and these are damn important symbols.

Twilight Sparkle (Twilight Sparkle). The main character, diligent and kind, loves to study, order and clear planning. Suffering from an overly corrosive conscience and anxiety, at times skeptical and cynical. Sparkle has a cutie mark with a star, because she is a mega-super-cool magician, one of the best in her magical land called Equestria (you don’t have to remember the name). Her “element of harmony” (a mega-super weapon based on the friendship of all heroines) is, in fact, magic.

Oh yes. First, Sparkle is a unicorn, and from the finale of the third season, an alicorn, which automatically raises her to a host of princesses. She was made the Princess of Friendship by the most important pony in the world - Celestia (also a princess, of course!), And this is an exceptional case, in fact, ponies are born with a set of horns and wings put to them.

Rarity

In a word, fashionista. A unicorn fashion designer whose business is as beautiful as it is amazing (because ponies almost never wear clothes!). Rarity is still a treasure, her character is spoiled and pampered, but she is very generous, and she embodies generosity.

The distinction is crystals, she simply adores them, after all, these are the best friends of girls ©.

Rainbow Dash (Rainbow Dash)

She is speed. She is the most athletic, magnificent and unceremonious, a Pegasus who made flying the meaning of life. Rainbow is overly self-confident (read - she is still impudent), loves adventure books, stupid jokes and dreams of flying in big sports, but always stays with friends.

Represents loyalty. You already guessed about the insignia.

Fluttershy

Just a "cutie", a timid, shy animal lover. A Pegasus that is afraid of flying, afraid of dragons, afraid of everything. However, Fluttershy has a core inside. With all the external introversion and naivety, sometimes she is very surprising.

The insignia is butterflies, she is the personification of universal kindness and all the brightest and best that is in people. Excuse me, pony.

Pinkie Pie

A pony whose calling is parties, fun and all the rest of the positive. She herself is a walking, or rather, jumping positive, demolishing everything in her path with her unbreakable optimism.

Pinky is a professional party organizer, embodies joy and laughter, the insignia is balloons. Weehu!

applejack

No, this is not the name of alcohol, but real name pony. There should be something about an apple farm, hard work, perseverance, physical strength and again an apple farm, but we'll just say that it's unrealistically cool. And strong.

You can exhale, the main characters are over. Let's just add that they all live in a town called Ponyville, regularly save the world, use a special "friendship magic" with the help of the aforementioned "elements of harmony", and are also single hardworking girls in their 20s. No, there are also male characters in the series. Sometimes.

Ponies are much older than you think

These big-eyed bright horses appeared in 2010, but during your childhood they were also there, just different. And only for girls 6-10 years old. Lauren Faust is the legendary author of a reboot that worked (rare).

EVOLUTION OF PONY AND OTHER CARTOON HEROES

This is what ponies look like from the 80s. Those are still chubby. Nevertheless, many of the external and internal features of the heroines of the old series migrated to the new one.

"Armors" exist

This is how fans of the series call themselves, that is, it is a “fandom”. And yes, there are a lot of grown men among them. They will come to cinemas with the children and you. Fear not - the "bronies" are extremely peaceful creatures and try to honor the covenants of friendship promoted in the series.

And more globally: the “fandom” of the pony is able to compete with similar communities in Star Wars or Harry Potter. Yes, dear, before us is a real cult.

Ponies make the world a better place

Follows from the previous point. "My little pony" steadily pulls people out of depression, helps to find friends and love in reality and further down the list. In general, life changes dramatically - we have already talked about one such case.

By the way, according to the majority of child psychologists, everything is very safe in ponies, they are recommended for the competent development of the child's personality. Of course, sometimes there are radically opposite opinions that they kill children. You, of course, decide who to listen to. But we are in solidarity with psychologists and consider the series to be very good. All in the name of friendship magic!

They are very poorly localized here.

With us, they talk like flat cardboard boxes. Just "My little pony» We were extremely unlucky with localization, especially with the translation of names - you yourself could already notice this. The debate about whether Twilight or Twilight is called main character will rage for decades to come.

WHAT ARE REALLY NAMES OF WEBBING, GATCH AND OTHER FAMOUS CARTOON HEROES

By the way, according to the first reviews, the film was a little more fortunate - at least dubbing did not cause nausea in early domestic viewers, on the contrary.

There are other animals there

Do not ponies alone this universe is alive. A variety of dragons, cats, donkeys, dogs and other animals are found there at every turn, and in the film there will be even more of this goodness. At the same time, some animals are reasonable, like the ponies themselves, and some are not, just pets. I wonder what is the relationship between the upright talking cat from the movie and the cat Opal, Rarity's favorite?

Especially good here mythological creatures, both from our legends, like griffins and manticores, and self-invented. Yes, Discord, we're talking about you too.

The ponies themselves are also constantly divided into crystal, werewolf ponies, and the writers still know which ones. In the film, we will see mermaid ponies - a great addition, don't you think? By the way, there is also another world where the same heroines appear as people. But that's it, don't worry about it.

The series is much more dramatic than you think.

And you may well like it. At least the storylines are episodes 1-2 and 25-26 of each of the seven seasons. Everything in between is autonomous, daily routine adventures in the name of friendship, affecting the plot only in so far as. But what a range of topics! Especially in the later seasons, extremely important and very mature things are discussed. About fame and fashion, deceit and business, power and crime, the importance of being yourself and so on.

The coverage of genres and locations is also impressive. At the same time, in the plots, everything always goes according to plan and not according to patterns, there are secrets that are carefully transferred from season to season, "chips", twisted and inventive scenarios. In general, the series really interesting to watch for adults too.

More precisely, especially for adults, because it is for this category of viewers that My little pony has a lot of delicious things hidden in it. Subtle hints and cunning references, your own Doctor Who, all kinds of Easter eggs and topical irony. However, you can not remember this point: the feature film was oriented to the children's audience. But there is a chance that some of this joy will be left to parents.

Here's Aria Cadance, a dramatic moment from the Season 2 finale, with a werewolf villain pretending to be a princess. Just listen, watch and enjoy a kind of "children's" series.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic(abbreviated as MLP:FiM) is a 2010 animated series about little ponies living in the fantasy fantasy land of Equestria and their various adventures. Corresponds to the fourth generation (G4) of pony toys (created by Hasbro), before it there were a couple of franchise animated series filmed in the 80s. Formally, all series are a kind of addition to the main products (that is, toys for children), but only MLP: FiM has become interesting for adults as it is, in many respects - thanks to cute (albeit uncomplicated) animation, bright, memorable characters, original productions of series , as well as winrar voice acting. We can say that this is a very successful remake of the old series.

The series was created by animator Lauren Faust based on her own drawings - redesigned and stylized from old characters from the first generation of Ponies. Faust posted her drawings on DeviantArt, where Hasbro spotted her. Also involved in the project is Rob Renzetti, creator of the animated series My Life as a Teenage Robot. Cartoon technology - two-dimensional Flash animation. At the moment, the network has 26 episodes in English, which make up the first season, as well as Russian subtitles. In the fall of 2011, the show of the second season began.

Heroes

Main characters

From left to right:
Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy.
Above: Rainbow Dash

Pinkie Pie- an eccentric, eccentric (sometimes to the point of insanity), but super-cheerful, cheerful and very energetic earth pony. She knows how to bake muffins and other confectionery products, which she does (however, most of the sweets are immediately eaten by her right on the spot). He likes to have parties and write songs.

Rainbow Dash (Rainbow Dash)- Pegasus pony, one of the least feminine ponies among the whole six. In fact, it is a local incarnation of Sonic. He flies very fast, (he knows how to switch to supersonic), loves speed, likes to flaunt his talents in front of an audience or challenge someone, does not tolerate something boring. Likes to snore while others work. Like most pegasi, he is engaged in weather control: i.e. clears the sky from clouds, or vice versa, drives them together.

Rarity- unicorn fashion designer, owns a boutique and sews clothes. Fashion, glamour, grace, a sense of style and the ability to be beautiful - all this is about her. In such matters, she is scrupulous to the point of boring, which is expressed in most cases by the fear of getting dirty (and as a result, the rejection of hard work), allowing the slightest mess in her boutique, or even the fear of being caught in the rain, which will ruin her hair.

Twilight Sparkle- the main character of the series, a unicorn magician. Thorough, thoughtful, punctual. She leads a rather reclusive life, studying books on magic and in general, she only lacks glasses to become a nerd. As a result, a normal full-fledged life with all its attributes, which her friends offer her, often turns out to be a curiosity for her. Lives with his assistant - a small dragon (baby dragon), Spike, studies the Magic of Friendship, for which, apparently, he receives a scholarship or something.

AppleJack (AppleJack)- an earth pony, a farmer and a cowgirl (if this word can be applied to a pony at all). The most down-to-earth pony of all six, the most pragmatic and, in most cases, sensible. Almost does not have cockroaches in her head - as a result, she is hardworking, reliable and knows what she is doing. A little rude. Together with the extensive Apple family, he owns farmlands where apples are grown. In addition to actually working on the farm, he sells apples and is not afraid of dirty work. The only one of the six who wears a headdress - a cowboy hat, which she almost never parted with. Oh yeah, he speaks with a Texan accent.

Fluttershy- a very quiet, shy and timid Pegasus pony. He is engaged in taking care of wild animals. In ordinary life - extremely soft and shy. He rarely speaks, and if he does, it is very quiet, barely audible. However, to her, as to no one else, the saying about a still whirlpool is applicable. And this is no accident.

Spike- as already noted, the dragon, Twilight's assistant, to whom he treats like an older sister. By nature, he is straightforward, ironic (sometimes to the point of sarcasm), a little foppish. He likes to sleep, although he always tries to conscientiously fulfill his duties, which include cleaning the house, searching for the right books in the library, sending correspondence, and so on. He has a deep sympathy for Rarity, for which he is ready to go to the ends of the earth. In case of any trouble, he almost always manages to get out of the water dry, it is not known whether due to his natural resourcefulness, or damn luck.

Minor Heroes

Princess Luna- Celestia's younger sister, also an alicorn. According to the myth, one day she did not like the fact that during her reign all the subjects rested in a deep sleep, while her sister was in the center of attention every day. Here her evil alter ego, Nightmare Moon, manifested itself. Nightmare Moon tried to overthrow Celestia, but was unsuccessful, for which she was exiled to the moon for a period of 1000 years forever. In the first season, he appears only in the pilot episode, in the second - in the Luna Eclipsed series. I must say, created and cherished (for all her time of absence) by many of the armor, the image of a quiet nerd in this series was thoroughly destroyed, partly by the eccentric behavior of the princess, partly by her CANTERLOT ROYAL CAPS VOICE.

Trixie (Trixie)- a unicorn pony who also studies magic, like Twilight, but on a very casual level. She arrived in Ponyville to show everyone her magical abilities (or rather, the abilities of a magician), and also boast of her coolness. Appears in only one episode of the first season.

Mark Detectors (Cutie Mark Crusaders)- a trio of funny young ponies - Applebloom (Applebloom), Scootaloo (Scootaloo) and Sweetie Belle (Sweetie Belle) - who, unlike their peers, still do not have marks of fate, which makes them very upset. Having united, they called themselves Markseekers and began to look for their vocation wherever possible, sometimes delivering to others (and sometimes to themselves) non-illusory problems. They often quarrel and argue among themselves.

Big Macintosh- Applejack's older brother, a large and strong pony. His catchphrase "E-eyup" (i.e. "A-agams"), pronounced slowly, with a drawl on the first syllable, perfectly emphasizes his equanimity.

Zecora (Zecora)- a zebra living in Ponyville - or rather not in itself, but in the nearby part of the Everfree Forest. She speaks in allegories, brews potions and other magical things, which is clearly opposed to Twilight with her scientific approach to the study of magic. Initially, she was considered almost a universal evil in Ponyville, because of her mystical mystery, but in reality she turned out to be friendly and loyal. He speaks with an African accent.

The Wonderbolts- a group of pegasi performing all sorts of tricks in the air, similar to those that take place at an air show. Wonderbolts are present at many celebrations and, in combination, are idols for Rainbow Dash.

Discord is a sentient product of chaotic chromosome replication, a local adaptation of the Joker. The main villain of the two opening episodes of the second season. It is a creature with the head of a pony, the limbs of a horse, dragon, griffin and lion, and the tail of a dragon; locally - "drakonakis". According to the plot, he ruled Equestria until the appearance of Celestia and Luna, keeping the country in constant chaos and unrest. Subsequently, he was overthrown and turned into a concrete statue. Discord is not stupid and quite prudent, despite the outward frivolity. He has a passion for eccentric antics and mocking speeches, as well as for all sorts of jokes that seem funny to him.

Some interesting facts

Form of government in Equestria - absolute monarchy. All power belongs to one pony, more precisely, an alicorn - Princess Celestia (although everything is much more interesting than it seems at first glance). In the fan community, there are quite a few theories regarding this very power in general, and Celestia in particular. Not all of them are consistent with universal Love and Mutual Understanding.

Discord openly denounces Celestia regarding her attitude towards her enemies and possibly her methods of retaining power: "After all, I don't turn ponies to stone!"

In addition to, in fact, the board, Celestia is in charge of the change of day (after the exile of Nightmare Moon to the moon - and nights too) and it is to her that Twilight is accountable for the execution of her work - the study of the Magic of Friendship.

Celestia is the only owner of adult body proportions, as well as "ethereal" mane and tail. Luna, although similar to her sister, is slightly smaller than Celestia and differs from her in her "normal" tail and mane. Nightmare Moon, in turn, is much more like Celestia in body proportions, and in addition, her tail and mane are also "ethereal".

The palace in Canterlot is the second residence of the princesses. The first, for unknown reasons, was abandoned. Its ruins are in the depths of the Everfree Forest.

The ending of the opening episodes of the second season is very similar to the final scene from the movie "Star Wars" (Episode IV - A New Hope).

Ponies are zoomorphic, that is, they walk on four legs, but live in an anthropomorphic environment. Some of the things that require hands, ponies do with their mouths, for example (writing), or with their tails (for example, unwinding a lasso), some with their hooves. They sometimes assume bipedal anthropomorphic postures, but do not walk in this way. Unicorns also have telekinesis.

The vast majority of the characters in the series are female.

In the series itself, there are a lot of references to various films, cartoons or games.

In the cartoons "My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic!" and "Equestria Girls" there are a lot of minor and even background characters, who practically do not lag behind the main characters in their popularity.

The ruling elite of the country of Equestria is very loved by many fans of the series, because these alicorn ponies are real princesses with their royal paraphernalia and unique responsibilities. The main princess Celestia is depicted as a tall white alicorn with large wings and a horn, and her long mane shimmers with delicate shades of pastel colors. Celestia has a younger sister - Princess Luna, who at the beginning of the story about little ponies is the main negative character. Princess Luna, in her angry incarnation, turns into Nightmare Moon (Moon Pony) - her body turns black, and her head is crowned with an ominous helmet. In her normal, kind incarnation, Princess Luna's body is dark blue, and her mane shimmers with many stars. Since peace reigned between the sisters again, Celestia is responsible for the movement of the sun across the sky, and Princess Luna rules the night. Another Princess of Equestria, in whose possessions the Crystal Empire is located, is Princess Cadance. According to the plot, she marries Shining Armor, the brother of the main character Twilight Sparkle. Before the wedding, a great misfortune happens to her - the dark and terrible Queen Chrysalis moves into the body of Cadance, who almost manages to seize power over Equestria.

Among the magicians of Equestria, the witch Zecora stands out - this is an unusual zebra pony that lives in the Evergreen Forest. Zecora is very wise, always ready to help with a spell, potion or advice. Another sorceress named Trixie lost in a magical confrontation with Twilight Sparkle: it turned out that Trixie is just a braggart, and her magic is more like tricks.

In the cartoon "Girls of Equestria" there is another negative heroine - Sunset Shimmer, who can turn into an evil demon. To stop Sunset's evil plan, Twilight Sparkle travels to the human world and meets all the little ponies in human form there.

No less popular than princesses are pony babies, students elementary school. An earth pony named Apple Bloom (Apple Jack's sister), along with the unicorn Sweetie Belle (Rarity's sister) and the Pegasus pony Scootaloo, organize the Mark Seekers team. Together, these ponies try to find their purpose and earn the coveted cutie marks. The Mark Seekers have a couple of detractors - the arrogant and arrogant ponies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Not all characters in the world of My Little Ponies are horses, pegasi, or unicorns. The most famous of these characters is the dragon Spike. He plays the role of Twilight Sparkles' assistant and dreams of winning Rarity's heart. But while he is still a small and not at all scary dragon, whom Twilight and others perceive as a younger brother. Of the other non-pony heroes, it is worth remembering the negative character Discord, the lord of chaos, who looks like a mixture of several animals. Thanks to the efforts of Fluttershy and all the other ponies, he switches to the light side. Among the popular characters of "My Little Ponies" there are those who are almost never seen in cartoons, but they still enjoy the love of millions of fans. This, in particular, is a gray Pegasus pony named Derpy, who is easily distinguished by her eyes looking in different directions. Also very popular are DJ Pon-3 (Vinyl Scratch), Octavia Melody, Lyra Heartstrings and many other ponies.

« Names don't translate...»

"I didn't say anything," March Hare interrupted hurriedly.
“No, I did,” said Mad Hatter.
"I didn't think so," said March Hare. - I deny everything!
“He denies everything,” King said, “don’t put it on the record!”
“Well then, then, Dormouth said.

« Names are not translated»

“Girl,” said Big Bad Wolf, “where are you going?”
"I'm going to my Grandmother," said Little Red Riding Hood, "bringing her pies."

« Names are not translated!»

Hello Mr Filsey! — I prefer "Mr. Rich."

Names are not translated - this rule is often given as an argument on the forums; it, indignantly, is used by the authors of reviews for the next "Little Red Riding Hood"; even on TV you can hear it along with a joke about the name Serpen (August). Hundreds of comments to "" in one way or another touched upon the issue of translation of names. As a rule, the answer to this question was unambiguous " don't translate". And it’s not without reason that such a reaction!

“You are a Moon Pony, Moon Pony!”

Unfortunately, there are more and more cases of reproaching translators (not only the series " Friendship is the miracle”) for such “adaptations”. For example, one of the characters toy stories”, an astronaut, in the original bears the name Buzz Lightyear. The name is a reference to the real astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the surname is a space-themed word (light year). Both versions of the Russian translation, Svetik and Lighter, are unsuccessful in their own way. The first has nothing to do with space, rather reminiscent of Tsvetik from Dunno's adventures. The second one also points not to space, but to a lighter. Animated series " Kim Possible"for some reason turned into" Kim Five-S-Plus". The lost play on words with a parody of a famous spy movie has been replaced by an association - not even with a rating! - with sweets from the school cafeteria.

« Names are not translated»

- a search for this phrase will not give any links to textbooks for translators. Only forums, magazines and discussions in which “everyone knows that names are not translated”, “this is the rule”, “this is taught in school”.

What is the rule, where did it come from? Where can you read it?

The names in the passport are not translated - this is done for the convenience of both those crossing the border themselves and civil servants. This also applies to the situation with Augustus-Serpen (besides, this is August, which is Serpen, named after Augustus, who is Octavian). For a literary text, the following rule is more likely to apply: names are not translated ... poor quality". The viewers of the first season were shocked not by the very fact of the translation of the name of the Moon Pony - Moon Pony, but by such a construction of the phrase, the translation of two characters as one and the loss of the play on words. By the way, to choose an adequate replacement for the double pun Mare(sea) - Mare(horse), night mare(mare of darkness) - nightmare(nightmare) really very difficult.

In the second season, there was a different trend, which at first was perceived with enthusiasm by many. Wonderbolts, Rapid Fire, Fleetfoot, Cloud Chaser... The first sign of the fallacy of this approach was Siterniptrag (Hayseed Turnip Truck). They will not say anything to the Russian audience and the names Jet Set, Upper Crust and Fancy Pants(they tried to keep the joke here - rather unsuccessfully). And with the rich Filsey Richam, as the bronies put it, the translators were "do-wunderbolt".

The authors of the Russian version listened to numerous requests regarding the names of the characters. But in the end, the result can be described as a series about outfits from the first season: at first I like it, and then it comes to absurdity. In addition to the mentioned Siterniptrag in the series, for example, there are princess platinum and wise clover. Let them beat Clover the Clever didn’t work out (and it’s a pity), but who would be worse from Platinum and clover?

A kind of textbook for translators can serve as a book " word alive and dead» (http://www.vavilon.ru/noragal/slovo.html) by the famous translator and editor Nora Gal. The book is built as a review of examples of successful and unsuccessful work with the language and is especially directed against the immoderate and unjustified use of clerical style and foreign borrowings. Nora Gal analyzes many translation, writing and simply speech errors and outlines some general principles due to which the literary text sounds lively and expressive, reads fascinatingly and inspires the reader's trust (based on Wikipedia). A separate chapter is just devoted to the names of the heroes of works of art (http://www.vavilon.ru/noragal/slovo17.html).

The following quote from Nora Gal's book shows how an honest senator was treated:

« But, I think, the case is not trifling and therefore more distressing. Twain's novel was retranslated, almost a pamphlet, where the American electoral system, parliamentary customs, the Senate and senators were sharply and viciously ridiculed. In the sea of venality and demagogy, Twain erected one island - a senator named Noble. But not every Russian reader knows that Noble in English means noble, honest. Could this senator be baptized in such a way that it sounds like English and yet the meaning shines through? Why not at least - a senator named Chesten! After all, there are surnames Chester, Chesterton, Chesterfield.»

Back to the character Filthy Rich and consider the translation of his name in more detail. Literally, this expression means " dirty rich", on which the joke is based:" Mr. Filthy? – I prefer Mr. Rich". Of course, in a literal translation, the joke will be lost - as well as without a translation at all. Why not pick up Russian analogues of the expression "filthy rich"? For example, "money bag". "Mr. Sack" is already more like a joke. “Money” is not very suitable for the role of a name, so you can beat the types of money. For example, dinero is very similar in structure to the well-known surname DiCaprio (or De Niro). And here is the new dialogue between Granny Smith and Mr. Sack Di Nero: Mr Sack? – I prefer “Mr. Di Nero”».

However, the word " Bag", to put it mildly, sounds very strange as a name. But there are other expressions that characterize wealth: “rowing money with a shovel”, “money bag”.

« Mr La Pato? – I prefer “Mr Grabby”» (Grabby La Pato)

« Mr. Tolstoy... - I prefer "Mr. Rich"» (Moneybag Rich - real name is saved here)

Or in a more concise way:
« Mr. Tolsto... - I prefer "Mr. Sam"» (Tolsto Sam)

Pay attention to the declensions: the male surname does not decline to “o” (Di Nero), nor does the female surname to the consonant (Smith), but the absence of the declension of the male surname to the consonant and the female to “a” is a mistake. Therefore, for example, Princess Celestia had to announce the wedding Shining BUT Armora(cf.: Mark Twain) and princesses Mi Amory Cadenz S . There really is such a rule (http://www.gramota.ru/spravka/letters/?rub=rubric_482), although on forums dedicated to translating from Japanese, users sometimes pass as a rule a ban on declension of surnames to “a” (for example, Akira Kurosawa). Apparently, this "rule" is just as justified as the ban on the translation of names.

Let's look at other names. Terrifying rumor Siterniptraga should not, of course, be translated literally: " Hay and Beet Truck» (« Hayseed Turnip Truck"). But it was possible to confine oneself to a simple name that sounds quite English - and at the same time in Russian! - reddis.

What about the names of the main characters? So far, out of six, only one and a half have been translated (yes, rainbow dash, like Moon Pony, also caused "delight" among the audience). At the same time, the name Twilight Sparkle pleasant enough to hear: in our world, a horse might well be called Sparkle.

applejack. This name in the original is related not only to apples directly, which, by the way, is played up in a teaser appletiny. Bronies found an excellent analogy in Russian: Anisovka. Both meanings are present in the name (although methodologists and psychologists may not like them).

Fluttershy. Based on the name, this pony is very timid, which is why she trembles. In Russian, there is an idiom for this case too: it trembles like an aspen leaf. aspen!

At first glance, how can you translate Fluttershy's name like that? But further in the series there are two whole teasers: flutterguy(which indicates her new voice) and Klutzershy(sad sack). In the first case, Spike can name Osinka club, in the second, Pegasi-athletes laugh at the slow-moving Kerosene. Here's what a train conversation would sound like:

- And what about the tree? Are you talking about the apple tree? - No, I'm talking about Osinka. ... - She's not a tree, Dashie! “And I would like to become a tree!”

Not only the names of the characters help to maintain the atmosphere of the series: almost every name hides a joke, a play on words - often, as noted in the Petition, related to horses ( Manehattan, Fillydelphia, canterlot). Without the translation of some titles, the series will also lose its colors. Here, as an example, " Dodge JunkEshon”, the town where AJ is leaving. As suggested by the armor, the town can be given a name Adventurer's Shelter or cunning. It's obvious that something is wrong there!

Pegasus team name The Wonderbolts" is a reference to the American aerobatic team « Thunderbirds". And even if it didn’t work out in the Russian version, “ Wonder Lightning" is still closer and clearer to the viewer than " Wonderbolts". Fleetfoot, one of the members of the group, also remained as it is - and after all, the name speaks of her speed. The appearance and decisive (as it turns out later) character of the captain is reflected in the name Spitfire. To translate or not is a moot point: on the one hand, “ Spitfire"- a famous military aircraft; on the other hand, you can give her a surname The fire(by analogy with O'Henry or O'Neill), however, not so seriously perceived by ear.

« Names are not translated?»

Let us recall here one more "lightning" - meaning the hero of the cartoon " Bolt". The bright meaning of the name was perfectly conveyed by replacing just one letter: in the Russian version, the dog's name is Volt. stay it Bolt- associations would come to mind, for example, with a construction site or a workshop (and this is at best).

There is a character with an adapted name, which "techie" associations just do not interfere with: Gadget from the Rescuers (" Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers"). Name " gadget” at the time of this translation would have sounded incomprehensible. And now it will be more suitable for a computer geek, and not for an inventor.

Disney animated series, which hit our screens in the early nineties, are generally very successful in terms of both translation and adaptation. Who is not familiar Black Cloak with his catchphrase " and come on from the screw!» Neither Darkwing Duck, nor Darkwing Duck are not both a good name and a recognizable way. The name of its pilot is also adapted very well: the viewer can imagine the trajectories along which he flies Zigzag McQuack(orig. Launchpad McQuack).

The very first example was the dialogue from " alice» Carroll. The translator Demurova wrote a separate article about “ Alice", in which, in particular, attention is paid to names (" On the translation of Carroll's fairy tales”, http://lib.ru/CARROLL/carrol0_10.txt). Without going into details, we note that hatter, Mouse Sonya, Tweedledee and Tweedledee, Jabberwock With Bandersnatch would lose a part of themselves if their names were translated "on the forehead" or not translated at all.

With rare exceptions, all the names and titles in the series about ponies are "talking". Therefore, the question of whether to translate or not is irrelevant. Rather, it is worth asking how translate (more precisely adapt). If we ignore each name separately, then you can answer it like this: thoroughly, thoughtfully, qualitatively.
