Will it be dubbed for other languages eventually? Cinemas only show the English version and my youngest who still play with Barbies doesn’t understand English well enough.
It’s not actually for little kids. I’d def recommend watching before bringing your little
Movies are a great way to learn a foreign language and subtitles work wonders to increase reading speed. Especially when they don’t give you a choice to fall back to a dub.
Source: me, having to watch Cartoon Network as a small child with no translation at all, became proficient in English by the 5th grade in a country where English is not spoken at all, other than when being (poorly) taught at school.
So rather than seeking out dubs you should avoid them as much as possible.
But did you play with Barbies in 5th grade?
My kid is 8 and has only had English in school for one year. Not enough to get a meaningful experience in the cinema.
