The Brazilian translation I own replaced him with Thomas Jefferson. Kinda random but I found it funny

Huh, I wonder why they did that?

Because almost nobody in Brazil would know Paul Revere

threelonmusketeers ,

But they would know Thomas Jefferson? If I were tasked to choose the most famous U.S. political figures, I might have chosen Washington or Lincoln...

EarMaster ,

I'm not from Brazil but from Germany and out of all the U.S. founding fathers Washington, Franklin and Jefferson were the ones I had heard of. Lincoln also, but he is not one of them, is he?

threelonmusketeers ,

No, Lincoln wasn't a founding father. He was just a famous president who came later.

What's the translation of the previous "antelope/ant eloping" pun? I can't imagine that works in other languages.

"brutamonte" (rude or big strong person) and "bruta monte" (really big mount)

It's a very bad joke, but I don't blame the translators. How would they ever translate this bit
