In case you don't watch American TV

I had to rely on Spacetoon to take a look at those

Yeah, Arabic dubs of stuff aren't really the best, but if you're a random ol kiddo who never had access to anything other than FTA television, this is good enough. Also, they refer to the Brain as just "Brain" without the definite article "the". Can't translate that into Arabic very accurately.

Pinky always refers to him as Brain. So that is accurate, “The Brain” is just for the title card and the rhyme with the song, I think. Like in Spanish it is “Pinky y Cerebro” instead of “Pinky y el Cerebro”.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I guess that translation was indeed accurate all along

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

I think so Brain, but how are we going to carry that much peanut butter?

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago

I think so, Brain, but this time you put the trousers on the chimp.

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 9 points 8 months ago

Maybe? You told me not to think for myself, Brain

[-] Carlo@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

I think so Brain, but burlap chafes me so!

I thought Brain's look was based on Orson Welles, like his voice. I guess he looks like both.

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

LaMarche stated that on coming in to audition for the character of the Brain, he saw the resemblance to Welles and went with that for the voice, and he was given the role on the spot. LaMarche describes Brain's voice as "65% Orson Welles, 35% Vincent Price"

You, my friend, were correct!

Pinky and the Brain was inspired by two producers of Tiny Toon Adventures, Tom Minton (L) and Eddie Fitzgerald (R).

From the original BuzzFeed article

Tom Minton is an American animator, producer, writer, and storyboard artist. He created and wrote the "Toby Danger" episode of Freakazoid!, wrote the lyrics to the song "Brainstem" and served as head model for the Warner Bros. character the Brain in Pinky and the Brain. He was story editor of Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, a 1987 series art-directed by John Kricfalusi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Minton

Eddie Fitzgerald is a writer for Tiny Toon Adventures. He served as the inspiration of Pinky for Pinky and the Brain; however, unlike Tom Minton (who was the inspiration of The Brain), Fitzgerald had no involvement with the series otherwise
