Pop Culture Quiz

Quote from Strider

Atreyu and the dragon, but this one changes its name depending on the country: Fujur, Fuchur, Falkor...

(Hi to the 'oldtimers' of the forum; I'm still alive!).

You're right about the names. - And I didn't know about the different names for Fuchur. I did some research and it seems the German author of the original story based the name on the Japanese word for "good luck dragon". Then the Spanish variant is a phonetic approximation of the German one, while in Italian a version closer to the Japanese one was chosen. In English a completely different name was chosen, because it sounded to much like "fuck you".

To me "Falcor" sounds strange. It reminds me of a falcon and Falcor doesn't look like a bird at all but rather like a dog. Maybe something like "Retrievor" would have been more fitting.

Here's the next inspiration that came to me. Who remembers these guys?

Now that I see the other Fraggles it seems I misinterpreted the protrusions on Red's head. I believed them to be some sort of fur-covered antennae but they simply seem to be some kind of bunches.

I played around a bit with the new SP-Studio and by pure accident and without additional editing I had created a new entry for the Pop Culture Quiz. A sheer Christmas Wonder!

Let's see what you can make of it. By the way, the horse ain't a horse, of course, of course.

You're absolutely right! Because of the regional reference I wasn't sure if anybody would recognize it.

Probably fairy tales are more likely to be universally known than other parts of cultural life I tried so far.

Just because yet there is no Disney version oft the Town Musicians of Bremen I wasn't sure, if they are well-known enough. SP-Studio has an internatinal audience after all.

Here's my guess as to why Disney never made a movie about them:

Nicely done and most likely very accurate! You even created the little pictures on the wall.

It's the details that matter!
