Shrek 1 Dubbing Indonesia

This paper examines the Indonesian dubbing of DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek (2001). As an animated film that relies heavily on satire, pop-culture references, and linguistic wordplay, Shrek presents significant challenges for localization. By analyzing specific scenes and dialogue transfers from English to Indonesian, this study explores how dubbing strategies—specifically domestication and foreignization—were employed to maintain comedic timing and narrative coherence for Indonesian audiences. The analysis suggests that the Indonesian version prioritizes "local flavor" (kearifan lokal) through the use of colloquial Jakartan Malay (Bahasa Gaul), successfully bridging the cultural gap despite the loss of specific Western pop-culture nuances.
