And, in most cases, they suck. The Inside Out ones I’ve seen are acceptable because they’re minimal and, as they say, “They learned that some of their content wouldn’t make sense in other countries”. But 4Kids didn’t do that. They literally turned Japanese anime for teens into American cartoons for kids.

Removing any hint of a deep message in everything and making every series a travesty is nowhere nearly comparable to what Pixar did. Pixar altered things to get the same message across, 4Kids did it to remove any, and change it with one of their dumb jokes (which, albeit often funny, were slammed in serious situations and killed the mood of everything. Make an original series if you want to do that).
