Disney films are filled with English puns, idioms, and cultural references (specifically to 1960s-70s America and France). A good Vietsub translates these into Vietnamese equivalents that make sense to local viewers. For example, the song "Scales and Arpeggios" requires a translation that retains the musical pun while being catchy in Vietnamese. The Aristocats Vietsub
