Festive Thrill-Tree: GN Blurb Translated Too Many Times

[NapalmKev]

Can anyone guess this movie: "Put Peppers and Musicians, Musicians Group, Monthly Population Loving Animals."?

Is it Desperado?

...or could it be the Beatles film, Yellow Submarine?

Cheers

No. Oddly, the best clues are either "Peppers" or "Musicians Group" - I've no idea where the loving animals came from, but it's funny.

*BUZZ* Repetition of "Musicians."

Not that I'm aware that it was ever made in to a film, but Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?  Loving Animals could have come from 'hearts' and 'Beatles'.

So, you're super close. The text was a summary of a film, so the title of the movie is not in the text.

Original text: [spoiler]The music-loving inhabitants of Pepperland are under siege by the Blue Meanies, a nasty group of music-hating creatures.[/spoiler]

Farts! I mean ... great joy to you! I hadn't noticed this post until now. NapalmKev got it.

Kudos goes to TordelBack for getting Absalom: Terminal Diagnosis - original blurb as follows:

TO HELL AND BACK?

Old, irreverent and doomed by supernatural forces, hard-nosed copper Detective Inspector Harry Absalom is tasked with upholding the Accord – the treaty between the British Royalty and the forces of Hell.

As the cancer finally starts to take hold, Harry calls in every friend and favour he has left in a last-ditch attempt to save his kidnapped grandchildren from the depths of the Mills...

And as a reminder, the translated version was:

The devil?

A former bronze-nose inspector who was insulted and cursed by extraordinary powers, is responsible for protecting the summit and treaty between the kings of England and the armies of hell.

When the cancer spread, called his friend to help save the grandchildren who had been expelled from the plant.

Today's one as follows:

They're turning the world around... now it's more than a hard bear right now!

Over a forest, gay men prepare the eyes of a ship that have taken the pirates back to slavery in the banana house makes mistakes, start the error signal.

[Colin YNWA]

Oh no. Two in and I'm absolutely flumuxed! I've tried and I don't think its any of the ones I've considered... I'll come back to this...

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

I'm thinking Red Seas but only because "gay men" could be "jolly rodger" and it mentions pirates.

PS: Fnar!

Man I am struggling with this! My first thought was Ace Trucking Vol 2, but that can't be right. Maybe it's [spoiler]Kingdom vol 3[/spoiler]?

[sheridan]

See, I thought one or two people might fall for the 'bear' trap at the beginning, but that as long as they ignored that then they'd get on the right track...

Two clues:

   
• Collected editions include those taken from the Megazine as well as the prog.
• Probably the most important word in the entire translation is 'banana' (not entirely sure where the 'gay men' came from, though I'll hazard a guess when I give the answer tomorrow).

Nobody guessed correctly!  I'd expected at least on person to read 'bear' in the first line and think it was Shako (it isn't).

The translated version as follows:

They're turning the world around ... now it's more than a hard bear right now!

Over a forest, gay men prepare the eyes of a ship that have taken the pirates back to slavery in the banana house makes mistakes, start the error signal.

The original version:

THEY COLONISED EARTH... NOW THEY'RE ALL LARGER THAN GRIZZLY BEARS!

2127 AD: High above the Peruvian rainforest, vast, eerie creatures fix compound eyes on a vessel transporting the notorious Fendito 'the Bandito' back into custody in the South-Am mega-city of Cuidad Barranquilla. For 'Banana City' judges Xavi Ancizar and Sofia Perez, the bug hunt is just beginning ...

It's Zancudo (I would also have accepted 'stealth sequel to Ant Wars set in the Dreddverse').  From what I can guess, "vast, eeries creatures" may have been translated in to "gay men" - presumably eerie, strange, queer featured in some of the intermediary languages.

Today's mistranslated blurb coming when I decide which one to post...

Here goes:

Astro Demon Development!

When the astronauts expel the world's deadliest body by accident to release destructive energy into the galaxy! Only one person has the power to end their lives! The last rhetoric in air battles, laziness and atrocities in this epic style of comedy.
