I Just Learned What Home Alone Is Called In Different Countries, And It's So Much Better Than I Expected
Home Alone is the second highest-grossing Christmas movie of all time worldwide (first place goes to The Grinch, if you’re interested), so it makes sense that the film’s title has been translated into multiple languages.
However, according to a post shared to a maps-based Reddit forum, not all of the translations are literal.
One user shared a map which showed re-translated titles like Mom, I Missed The Plane (Italy) and Burglars Beware! (Hungary).
But are those true, and what’s the full list?
Yup ― it seems to be right
Though IMDb translates the Hungarian title back to Shiver, Burglars!, the rest check out.
